I tihnk they should stay in boxing because it’s better if they have anger or something that bothers them the use it in boxing. And they use the time to not do bad things or be in gangs. They do it because they love it.
In my opinion i think that boxing should be against for because their is some people that gets injured also because some people can die of boxing. Also i think im against boxing because if you loose a match and you were really famous and you loose the match teir would be less people chearing for you in other match’s.
I don’t think boxing should be band becouse when you knock someone out, you could possibly give them a concussion or make them have brain bamabe and become intellectually disabled.
I do not like boxing because it in very DOMB!!!!! You practically risk your life to do something STUPID!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For instance you can get a concussion or brain damage.You can also become intelle.ctually disabled.
my opinion on boxing is its to violent and you get injured a lot. its to much to risk your life for. you can get injures like concusions, and you can get disabeled and brain damage and all of this stuff that could put your life down the drain.

Brain damage occurs in one of two ways:
Catastrophically, meaning it follows an injury sustained in a single bout. This was the case in the Watson bout, when a blood vessel in the skull burst and a clot put pressure on the brain tissue
Gradually, meaning the brain damage builds up as a result of repeated blows to the head

“A competition in which the winner is determined either by delivering a greater number of blows to his opponent or by literally knocking his opponent senseless is no sport,” Dr Haikerwal says.

http://www.ringofdreams.com/articles/boxingweightclasses.shtml
weight clases
its not good cause they get hurt badly
the web site about the boxing classses is good but i think boxing is very bad for people who box b/c people get injured and hurt very bad and there brain can be injured so i think boxing should be a saft sport b/c its becoming very bad
The first two sites are against boxing because they are talking about people getting hurt and people die from boxing. 3 and 4 are for boxing becausethey say that many people get lots of money and the people become boxing champions. 5 & 6 say that they should be banned and they retire. Finally 7 is for because they ask true questions about boxing.
