Mixed Martial Arts and B.c. Boxing
Boxing is one of the oldest sports to ever be played. It can be traced as far back as the Ancient Greeks, who participated in it as early Olympic Games back in 668 B.C. Boxing is a martial art and combat sport in which two people engage in a combination of strength, reflexes, and endurance by throwing punches at the opponent. Ever since boxing originated, there has been health issues with the sport. Boxing can result in health issues such as head trauma, brain damage, bodily injury, and future health concerns. Boxing also creates social issues, which include making people injure others for money, no sufficient medical care, and the prevention of injury, not just the treatment. The number of injuries and other risks associated with boxing outweigh the rewards of the sport; therefore, a ban on boxing and all similar sports is necessary. Boxing is one of the most popular sports in the United States, and has been that way for over five decades. For as long as the sport has been popular, there has been many injuries to go along with it. Multiple hits to the head over the years can take a toll on someone’s body. Boxers who have been participating in this sport since they were children exhibit the most dramatic symptoms. One of the greatest boxers of all time, Muhammad Ali, now suffers from Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s is often associated with constant head trauma, over a prolonged time. Diagnosed in 1984, Ali is thought to have sustained too many blows to the head during his career, leading to his fight with Parkinson’s. Boxing is not the only sport that causes these types of injuries, different fighting sports have nothing but harmful effects on participants. Boxing is still the main sporting event when it comes to combat sports. There are also many different sports that are similar in nature to boxing. Kickboxing includes hand to hand combat and well placed kicks to the body. Mixed martial arts, or MMA, is a
