    It’s terribly sad but death is a danger of other sports as well. I watched Duk Koo Kim and Johnny Owen be beaten to death live on nationwide TV. Lots of talk after both bouts to ban the sport but over time the clamor dissipated. If restrictions were made to better prevent serious injury the sport would cease to exist.

    Agree, there would be less people into it, but it would be far more dangerous for those that are still doing it without the same regulations and safety precautions in place. So it because 6 dozen of one, half a dozen of another.

    There's been another death in Argentina. There seems to have been massive negligence in this one
