Do you think boxing became more or less dangerous with the introduction of boxing gloves?
Boxing gloves dampen the punch and protect the hands. As they protect the hands headshots became more prevalent. Before, there were more body shot as if you hit someone in the jaw you ran a high risk of breaking your hand.
I saw a statistic somewhere that since the introduction of gloves, brain damage injuries in boxing has risen quite a lot.
Do you think the pros outweight the cons?
