I think the analogy is more like your steering wheel is made of a metal that heats up and burns your hands if you go above 20 mph. Do you have more fatal accidents when driving with gloves or without?

They are right constant dull blows to the head are worse for your brain long term. It's counter intuitive, the small MMA gloves and bare knuckles may seem more brutal than boxing gloves but the long term brain damage from boxing is far worse. The way it's designed they essentially let fighters who would be "done" in a real fight recover slightly then take another beating.

Got anything to back that up? 'Cause I've heard the opposite - namely that there's no single documented death in an OG bareknuckle match.

People loving die all the time during boxing matches after boxing gloves, and all boxing gloves aren't created equal: at this point in heavyweight bouts they weigh 10 ounces and the boxers are allowed to have their hands wrapped with 18 feet of bandage and 10 feet of zinc-oxide tape. It's not certain that bareknuckle would be safer but it's pretty plausible:

I thought the data didn't support that. I'd have to google, but I seem to remember seeing something in the last year that analyzed for CTE symptoms (you obviously won't know for sure until after death) with MMA and Boxing and MMA had a far greater incidence. And MMA is pretty much the closest thing bare knuckle fighting (they wear super light gloves compared to boxing) that you'll be able to get decent data from. It's not perfect since they also take elbows and knees to noggin as well.

Read the link I posted. It specifically addresses that claim.

quote:

The comprehensive standard of recorded boxing deaths is the Manuel Velazquez Collection, named after a meticulous anti-boxing activist from the 20th century, and is currently maintained by Joseph R. Svinth of the Journal of Combat Sports. The most recent edition tracked ring fatalities by time, location, and format of competition, all presented neatly in detailed bar graphs and pie charts. According to this report, there were 259 recorded ring deaths leading up to the decade when gloves became mandatory in competition, quickly disproving the notion of “not having a single ring fatality” during the bare-knuckle era. Looking at the data after that decade, however, does become interesting.

The Marquess of Queensberry Rules that first mandated the use of gloves in pugilistic competition were first published in 1867 and fully adopted into the sport in 1882, though some bare-knuckle bouts took place for a few more years as the last recorded match took place with John L. Sullivan facing off against Jack Kilrain in 1889 (Hobbes’s claim of bare-knuckle prizefighting terminating in 1897 is also incorrect). Table 2 of the report outlines a side-by-side bar chart comparison of the number of boxing deaths by decade, and there is a noticeable spike from the end of 1880s to 1890s, going from 41 deaths to 134. The trend peaks and valleys in the following decades, but never dips near the numbers before the Queenberry Rules were instated. On the surface, this would suggest that the new rules (and quite possibly the use of gloves) played a major role on increasing the rate of fatalities in boxing, but as the first rule of statistics goes: Correlation does not imply causation. A number of factors that could have affected those spikes...

That's pretty interesting. Too bad the result is inconclusive. That's like the most boring result. I'd love to see an actual normalized study about bareknuckle vs. glove-on fights, but I imagine ethical guidelines would any rigorous attempt pretty soon.
