If Ali’s Parkinson disease was brought on by excessive blows to the head in about 10 years I’d say we are going to have a lot of ex UFC comatants with brain issues. Harsh to say but look at how they bash each other’s heads in.
Sorry I meant to say UFC combatants.
they don’t take as many hits as the boxers....with less padding their’s is over and out much quicker
with proepr delivery
most fights end on the mat in submission
“If Ali’s Parkinson disease was brought on by excessive blows to the head in about 10 years”
I don’t know. Hard to say there weren’t any consequences to Ali’s fights from Manila on. However, I think it’s largely a genetic thing. Are there statistics available demonstrating that boxers contract these sort of disorders more than the general population.
Actually, I think boxing is much worse with the padded gloves and continuous pounding even after one has been knocked onto queer street. MMA fights end much quicker with much less total sustained blows.
