Is boxing dangerous?

Amateur boxing has much stricter safety rules and regulations. I would say stick to light-contact if health is a concern. Casual boxing can be as safe as soccer - just stay away from assholes who think sparring sessions are championship rounds.

 

I boxed for a year and quit when I realised I don't like getting punched in the face.

 

:rofl:roflatsch

 

not at all. just ask the G-man...

 

any contact sport is dangerous

 

Sitting through numerous PET scans myself, I can say without a shadow of any doubt that you risk a brain injury and potential long term damage every time you take a blow to the head.

 

It's no more dangerous than Rock, Paper, Scissors. GO FORTH, young man!

 

Its dangerous if you don't prepare and then step in the ring. If you let him the other guy is going to knock you out.

 

just the training may **** up your elbows. And your hand if you dont wrap them properly.

 

agreed. if you can pass the physical requirements. dont let self doubt and personal fears hold you back.

 

Sneezing while taking a ****, now that's dangerous!!!
