Toney: "Boxing is not a joke, but a very dangerous thing"

Damn.

I never realized that a combat sport could be dangerous.

 

lifes like a box of chocolates you never know which one will give you diabetes

 

Looking forward to seeing Wilder sprawled out on the canvas again.

 

Exactly. Look at the Toll boxing took on James Toney, you can barely understand him when he talks nowadays. Boxing is the toughest and most dangerous sport there is.

 

No one knows the outcome but it's all about chasing the dream, for some it's all they have. I'd guess more lives would be lost without boxing.

 

It seems James has a flare for the obvious.

 

Can we be sure that's what Toney actually said, because usually when he speaks I can barely make out every other word?

 

I'd say MMA is more dangerous.

 

Nah. Mma is more controlled. Boxing is more dangerous.

 

its more gory and violent but ironically not as dangerous. A lot of the damage is (relatively) superficial, and to stress the point I mean relative to like...getting extended brain trauma that turns you into a vegetable. Obviously having your arm broken or your face split open is still pretty shitty, and of course there is a significant degree of brain trauma there too albeit not as much as boxing.

With boxing the bigger gloves, counts, longer total fight time but shorter rounds all leads to you being able to take tons of blows to the head without the fight ending, so more sustained brain trauma basically. Something like Fury/Wilder 2-3 for instance would have been over much quicker under MMA rules, meaning fewer impacts to the head.

 

This makes sense. Never thought about it this way.

 

You nailed it. Some people dont get it man, theyre worried about cocks on screen.
