    Yes, unfortunately for some. It's a tough game to be in if it's the 
career you want to follow. I've been watching and following boxing for about 
40 years now, (jeez, I can't believe I just typed that!), and I've seen 
nearly all the <known> tragedies, well, at least over here in the UK.

    Great sport for a youngster though. When I was doing it, we didn't have 
safety headgear, just a pair of massive well-cushioned old soft leather 
gloves. It would make your eyes water if you copped one on the nose, but 
that's about it. Yeah, it was fun. :)
