The Olympic Committee has banned boxers from wearing headguards, because research has shown that helmets exacerbate head trauma. By wearing a helmet, you are amplifying head trauma by making the impact spread across your entire skull qnd brain.
>Retired cardiac surgeon Dr. Charles Butler, a former president of USA Boxing and the chairman of AIBA’s medical commission, used the two groups to compare the rate of concussions.
>The results were astounding. Butler examined 28,802 rounds, in which headguards were worn in slightly more than 14,000 and in which they were not worn in slightly under 14,000.
>The results: a 43 percent reduction in concussions in bouts in which headguards weren’t worn versus bouts in which they were.
>In other words, Butler’s study showed a boxer was far more likely to sustain a concussion if he wore a headguard than if he did not.
TLDR: Throw your helmet in the trash
