Gloves were introduced to protect the boxers hands not the opponent. With gloves a boxer can throw a punch with full force not worrying about breaking his knuckles.

I expect gladiators with edged weapons to show up at some point.

Sorry, but I see no reason to turn humans into cockfighting animals.

It’s illegal to put spurs on two roosters and throw them in a ring.
It’s illegal to pit two dogs against each other in a ring.
It’s illegal to put a bull in a ring against a guy with a cape.
But it’s perfectly legal to put two human beings in a ring and let them beat each other bloody.
Mmmmmmmkay.
The fighters are adults. They’re free to participate. And an audience is free to watch. But it’s a sad commentary on the state of our culture when we glorify such a barbaric spectacle.
