Two boxers circle the ring, waiting for an opening to knock out their opponent. The crowd is going wild, viewers have paid a significant amount of money to see a man fall to the mat; unconscious. Boxing is a martial art and combat sport that often results in permanent damage. The intention of boxing is to win by injuring your opponent by punching him to the body and sometimes knocking him out. The euphemism of boxing is a human blood sport. Although boxing is a popular and active sport, there are other sports that do not intentionally try to physically harm their rivalry. Boxing should be more controlled as a sport because it encourages violence, causes head injuries and is dangerous. Boxing enthusiasts claim that boxing is non-violent and can be a good way to let off steam. First, since brain injuries in professional boxers are caused by repeated blows to the head, it should be mandatory for professional boxers to wear headgear during all boxing matches. Currently, headgear has only been worn in amateur boxing since the early 1980s. A headgear would certainly reduce head damage by up to 50%. Additionally, boxers should stop wearing gloves. Blows to the head are significantly damaged by rotational acceleration of the cerebral cortex and spinal cord. This damage is caused by boxing gloves, which add weight and energy to punches and cause more rotational acceleration. Additionally, the rules are not strict, there are no limitations on what a boxer can do to his opponent, until he declares a winner. In boxing, no one is on the sidelines to determine whether or not the boxer is in position at the end of the fight. The only way boxing could be potentially safe was to regulate it through paternalism, but even then fans wouldn't find it exciting and purses would be significantly reduced.
