Re: 2025 6N thread

You can’t totally blame Carley for that. It had a full review. It was a clear red card for me and I can’t understand on what basis it wasn’t given. Low danger?! He head butted him after the whistle. It just shouldn't have gone to the bunker at all. He should have asked if it was after his whistle, ...

Gone for men. Women still have them for some reason

Headgear increases the risk of concussion but reduces cuts and broken noses. So it’s basically optics that we don’t want to see women boxers covered in blood
