Hey, a bit out of left field but did anyone else find the their love of boxing complicated by an increased awareness of concussions and the long term health effects? It's been weighing on me lately.

It's not enough to make me not enjoy combat sports, but it's definitely present. It's hard not to empathize.

I mean, aside from just the fact that Nasukawa's not a boxer, it is deeply important to remember Tenshin was fighting at like 115-120 up until one year ago when he made the enormous move up to 126. He's been fighting since he was an infant and is accustomed to completely understanding the parameters of his fighting world, and last night is almost certainly the hardest he's ever been hit in his entire life.

it's the self-awareness of everyone involved that makes me really appreciate boxing as a sport.
