People are barely learning about what this can do to your brain long-term. The problem with boxing is a guy can get knocked dead, but if he can get up before the ten count and look ok to fight, they'll let him.
I predict it will get to the point of counting head shots, and when a fighter takes too many, the athletic commissions won't renew his license.

It's gonna be really interesting to see what happens with football, rugby and boxing in the next 15-20 years. I'll leave it at that.

Football is already turning to shit, and they're going about it in the worst way.

Just wait until Jerry Rice starts losing his marbles. Still waiting for the CTE wave to fully hit that 90s generation of players. Are you still quitting the NFL this year, champ? It makes more sense now than when you said it, go out on top.

I'll still watch. I'm not nearly as invested into it as I used to be, though. The changing of the rules every single year to the point where we no longer know what a catch is is pretty ridiculous. The golden era is long gone, for sure.

Also, as far as MMA and head damage goes, look no further than Gary Goodridge. He retired 6 years ago, but just turned 50 and suffers from dementia. He was TKO'd 25 times.

The golden era is long gone, for sure. And what makes it worse, is there are a lot of exciting players playing today.
