Description
This book neither argues for or against the continuation of boxing, but lays out the literature and the body of scientific knowledge that
are necessary to provide a meaningful background for the ensuing debate. It provides a comprehensive resource for those who are involved
in regulating boxing and those who participate directly, as well as for the medical and scientific communities. Includes carefully quoted
case histories and research as well as an extensive body of medical literature on boxing injuries to demonstrate that brain damage is
a natural consequence of boxing.
