>Do gloves really promote brain injury?
Not necessarily. Not everyone needs gloves and wraps to hit hard enough to cause brain damage without breaking their hand or wrists and unarmed strikes add up very quickly even if they don't have finishing power. Besides if we can make more advancements in regenerative medicine it may not matter much in a few decades anyways.
Boxing?
>I don't know shit about boxing
I don't like niggers much myself, but denying their skill in the ring is pretty absurd. Although a lot of the showmanship they've brought to the sport is negative, I like that even assholes like mayweather are standing up to the kikes and demanding a fair share.
Go suck a dick.
Yes, they do. They made it possible for blows to the head to be delivered with far more force, without actually causing a knockout (or fight-ending injury) or broken hands/wrists/fingers.
The result was that the brain gets shaken about far more without experiencing a fight-ending concussion, and the aggregate coup-contrecoup injuries are much more debilitating. It also opened the sides of the head up to be targeted, as very few people would target that area with a bare hand.
I wasn't indicting all black fighters. Ali, Foreman, Mayweather, and numerous others are respectable in their ability, power, and commitment to the sport. It's the "up and coming" thugger-sluggers that are the shit-tier participants I can't stand to watch.
Yes, you get brain damage from the brain hitting your skull. With gloves you can hit harder without breaking your hands. Boxers break their hands all the time in street fights because they just hit so incredibly hard.
>inb4 they don't know how to use the right technique because they are used to using gloves
Yes, it is true in a way but it but with correct technique in this case means that you don't unleash like boxers do.
Martial arts is great but if you go to a boxing gym two or three times per week where they spar many rounds at 50-60% force, you will get brain damage. You can learn self defence without fucking up your brain.
Never heard of it mate.
Like who? I can literally only think of Broner who meets your description.
Ward is a skilled boxer with a clean-cut personality. Crawford too.
Actually let me elaborate a little more...
What I'm seeing in many modern black fighters is that they have been taught a little about the stance and the way to deliver jabs and crosses, but as soon as they land a solid punch, they start flailing away, indicating that they're very undisciplined and unable to comprehend the strategy of what they --did-- do right. A proper boxer would feign being stunned and destroy them as soon as they opened up.
For me, it's like watching someone make the first three proper steps to a waltz and then starting to twerk. I grew up watching Leonard, Foreman, Ali, Spinks, and some of the truly great boxers, was impressed by Tyson's strength, but hated his "style" and I still love watching films from the "golden era."
It's about some loser that takes up boxing to beat up the guy that cucked him.
