  7. In 1984, R.J. McCunney and P.K. Russo published a study entitled Brain Injuries in Boxing. The study argued that boxing is relatively safe compared to other sports by citing the following figures on U.S. sports fatalities:

    Fatality rates per 100,000 participants

       1. Horse racing: 128

       2. Sky diving: 123

       3. Hang gliding: 56

       4. Mountaineering: 51

       5. Scuba diving: 11

       6. Motorcycle racing: 7

       7. College American football: 3

       8. Professional boxing: 1.3

    Dr. Lundberg replied: "It's not the deaths but the chronic brain damage that is so frequent." The AMA reports brain deterioration in three out of four boxers who have twenty or more professional fights.

    To date, there has been little research regarding the long-term effects of amateur boxing.
