    Brain damage comes with boxing, so a fighter afraid of brain damage shouldn’t box. Also, with same day weigh-in’s guys wouldn’t be able to cut down and balloon up as easily. Fighters and their handelers aren’t stupid and know what weight their fighters can safely cut to. If the fighter and their team decide to take the risk and cut too low the fighter will have to deal with the consequences.
