Why do most deaths in the ring happen in the lower weight classes?

Accumulative damage is more dangerous to the brain. At HW you get hit with big shots and get knocked out when the brain gives up. There is less power in the punches coming from the smaller guys. That's why it's actually safer for the brain to be hit bare knuckle than with the glove on. Your brain takes the same damage but with the boxing glove on you can take more hits while the bare knuckle may knock you out quicker.
