Should boxing be banned?
Boxing, the physical skill of fighting with fists, originated as a sport around 800BC. It is a sport of antiquity that has had a troubled and contentious livelihood. Despite a tightening of safety regulations, neurological and non-neurological injuries have continued with this sport. Most medical associations have policies against boxing, including the World Medical Association and the national bodies of the USA, Britain and Australia.
Unlike in any other sport, boxers intend to physically injure their opponents by knockout. Allowing people to intentionally inflict injuries upon others for public entertainment and private profit is barbaric. Children especially are trained in these ways. When boxers turn professional, they have often already fought in at least 50 fights in their youth, which does not include the countless rounds of sparring during training sessions. Boxers are essentially being trained in violent ways, often at a young age.
Is this game, one of the reason to increases violence in children?

Not only the boxing, more outdoor games have this same problem. Then what you think about rugby, kabbadi, football, hockey and more. These games also the reason for increasing violence. Indians are the continues world champs in kabbadi also we have expecting the olympic medals in boxing category only.If violence is the only reason to banned boxing means, we have banned all other outdoor games.aarthivgBoxing, the physical skill of fighting with fists, originated as a sport around 800BC.

sridhar4362Hello sir,
I am a boxer and as a boxer i tell only one thing .The first thing our coach tells us that we must not use this skills other than ring,we also does not share our skills and we also take pledge.When coming to the sport it is a very good in making us mentally strong .I feel we know the pain so we don't wont to hurt others just for public entertainment.IN our training we develop lot's of patience so mainly it depends on the individual how u use the sport.👍
Game does not infulence to increase the violence in children it depend on the society he brought up and it depends on his background.😀 -

in this euro12 david villa not playing for spain coz of his injury, it might be a planned 1. I think you know why the umpire always using yellow and red cards in match times. Also in hockey we have seen many times blood injuries(mostly in ind vs pak matches), here also they are using yellow and red cards. Just check youtube you can get more videos.aarthivgI don't think so, football or hockey is not a game to hit the opponent and win the match. -

In football, yellow and red cards are given if a player hits the other player. But in boxing, If you hit the other person only you will get scores. Hockey or football is entirely different from boxing.aravindharajin this euro12 david villa not playing for spain coz of his injury, it might be a planned 1.

Ramani AswathIt is my personal opinion that it is a barbarous sport, skillful maybe, yet barbarous. I never watch it.
It has many hazards. It should be banned.

Kaustubh KatdareBoxing is basically a showoff of strength and skill through fighting. I've never followed it and the same goes with WWF fights. I've grown up with friends who'd keep track of all the fights.
Should it be banned: My vote would go to 'Yes'. -

in every match they using those cards thats what i wanna say. In boxing the main thing is to be hit each others inside the ring , but in other games like you said football and hockey the main thing is to be put goals but in every match some of them getting yellow and red cards for their VIOLENCE inside the field. In my point of view all games helps to increasing brutal and mind strength of men. If we banned a game for a particular reason we can find drawbacks in each and every games, so we have to take game as a GAME.aarthivgIn football, yellow and red cards are given if a player hits the other player.
