Let me guess, you didn't get an A in debate.

We can say we agree to dis-agree.

The odds are already minimal. Only about seven fighters a year die, most in places without good commissions. There's at least that many large plane crashes, killing hundreds. Should that mean planes only fly a hundred feet off the ground at half the speed? Life is dangerous. Hundreds die a day in car crashes. People die as collateral damage constantly. More people are crippled in the NFL than killed in boxing. Box has a century of history now. It shouldn't be changed.

I don't think anyone should govern what we do. If there is something we can do to make it somewhat safer, I'm for it. It would be cold for someone to say he/she meant and tried to kill the other fighter. Yes, boxers know there might be a slight chance of death, but lets lessen the odds.

I agree about the UFC; MMA might be that final coffin nail. But so long as boxing exists, I think it would be arrogant for officials to decide to take away fighters right to choose for themselves. In my life, I've watched one freedom after another get taken away in the name of safety. Freewill is endangered and it terrifies me. Such a radical move in boxing would set a precedent we would see in our lives. Do you want it to be unlawful to eat fried food because it causes high cholesterol?

About the football comment. No, but football has evolved into the sport it is today. Thicker pads, more sturdy helmets. The olympics uses headgear. If people wish to see true KO's, they should watch UFC.

And without K0's, a dying sport would finally get the coffin nail pounded in. People choose to fight. They choose to take the risk. Should Nascar lower their speeds because of crashes? Should football be banned altogether because of the risk of paralysis? Get real.

I sat next to Oscar at the poker table in Biloxi and he was the nicest guy you would ever want to meet. My prayers are with him.
