From Dan Djurdjevic's blog - a posting on the dangers involved in a 'simple' fight.
Not to make light of the topic, it is extremely serious. More injuries seem to occur from the person receiving the 'punch' hitting his head again on the ground - striking the ground without any protective maneuvers (as they are at least temporarily knocked out), and a whiplash effect.
Fighting in the ring is one thing, both contestants are fit, ready and capable. Fighting for 'machismo'/monkey dance reasons are pretty much stupid. Please re-think your attitudes if you have the idea that fighting is just a 'game' and no one gets hurt.
