    Dempsey was breaking bones with 16 oz gloves.

    After he beat up Ben Wray in sparing and broke his jaw in several places he was had up in court for it.

    Yeah. Carter immediatly moved. He knew he would spart with Liston again if they were in the same gym, couldn't turn away, and he knew that he would get hurt.

    What freaks me out about this story is that Carter's ears didn't start bleeding until he'd been home for an hour. Talk about a slow burn.

    Bob Foster also gave his wife a speeding ticket.

    even tho i agree that the fist benifts more than the face. but f your training for a fight and your training bareknuckles and get hit...it will open a cut and thats basicly it for you on figth night

    Perhaps, cuts and face damage would go up, as it did back in the 1800's. (They became diry fights, and fouls were often let go.)

    BUT the added weight to the gloves shakes the brain up more, than a bare fist did.

    Now in the day, they poke eyes, pull hair, and thus face damage would seem worse that way. But the brain would be in better shape in a 12 or 15 rounder. I agree a fight to the finish is more dangerious, with or with out gloves, than one with a time limit.
