    It would be more useful in rehabilitating guys done with their careers. Like Benitez.

    Prizefighters pride would suffer greater. Instead of having their corner throw in the towel when they're being outclassed, the fight would just continue and make them look ever moar clueless.

    What a boon for the retired fighters and those currently fighting if this works on humans! It'd be the happiest day of my life as a fight fan.

    Hopefully it would just be used on ex-pugs.

    If dain bramage was reversible the last thing on my mind is its impact on boxing.

    Anyway the article doesn't appear to be talking about damage incurred by trauma
