Boxing is disgusting, the sound of the punches hitting human flesh—ugh!
Agreed. It's time to ban this brutal, so-called "sport" in Australia.
The entire purpose of boxing is to knock out your opponent by
giving him a concussion. If that happened in the street, then the
assailant would be charged with grievous bodily harm and/or
manslaughter. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is one
of the most common problems boxers face due to repeated blows
to their head.
Since 2001, 112 boxers have died in the ring as a result of massive
head trauma, with the latest being 24-year-old South African boxer
Simiso Buthelezi who died four days ago after a match.
