So we all can agree to the fact that boxing is one of the popular sports, let's say in the world today. School children, guys or even a few ladies have carried the game proper into homes to the volume that it's far now turning into an indoor game. Sometimes it is going past a trifling sport.

All boxers are uncovered to first-rate dangers. There is mainly the threat of brain damage. Unlike different sports, the purpose in boxing is to render the opponent ineffective, and that is executed with the aid of using blows intentionally geared toward the head, Resulting in brain stem injury. Repeated blows to the head can produce severely disabling neurological damage.

The disease is more common in the ones who've had lengthy boxing careers with repeated knockout, or the ones who've the capability to stay on their feet regardless of heavy battering. The disease is caused by the shrinking of the brain as a whole and the death of certain brain cells. These people suffer from memory impairment, sudden mood swings, slurred speech and instability when walking or sometimes at rest.

When the head is touched, the small blood vessels can rupture, causing internal bleeding, which can cause the person to lose consciousness. Even without obvious brain damage, the affected person may still pass out for some time. Very powerful blows can tear not only the blood vessels inside the skull, but also other major structures like the nerve fibers.
Blood flow to the head can be reduced for a long time after a head injury. The result is the death of brain cells and their supporting structures; once the brain cells die, there can never be a replacement, so the loss is permanent.

A brief loss of consciousness can follow sudden, severe pain, like a blow to the eyeball or neck. Heart rate may slow down due to decreased blood flow to the head; the person may feel dizzy and pass out. Strong blows to the body can cause immediate fainting, as well as a strong blow to the neck or left side of the chest can cause the heart to stop beating.
