Now this may be a false perception, based around the loser being upright until the final blow, but I can only speak truthfully. Classics? That will never change and we accept it. Apart from one reference to combat sports that take place in a ring – and in that context I was referring to any closed space, not specifically the boxing arena – the only mention of the sport is in this sentence. The numbers must always be taken in context. You can read that piece . Tuesday, April 12, 2016 - 21:40 PM There are a lot of people on here who want to turn this into an argument about boxing being a more dangerous sport, and I think that's hiding, and missing the point. So I don't want boxing, or MMA, banned. Please ignore rumors and hoaxes. How many people read it? His son, Max junior, says he hated boxing, and wept over the death of Campbell. The issues around MMA concern governance, process, safety and ethics.

Because he's, like, dead.I can't see how anyone can argue with that, although I understand medics were on site at the Carvalho fight.I suppose that's where the mixed part comes in: it's the traditional, disciplined, highly skilled, respectful and even spiritual martial arts, mixed with what would happen if you opened the door of the worst boozer in town at 10.59pm on a Friday and shouted, 'Anyone fancy a fight?'Lions. It is what separates MMA from professional combat sports like boxing. João Carvalho (1988 – 11 April 2016) was a Portuguese mixed martial arts fighter under the Total Extreme Fighting promotion. Maybe the NFL will end up like the NRA, it will become part of the inalienable right of every American to suffer severe brain trauma playing college football, grow depressed in later life, and then shoot himself with his own, legally-held, gun.Nor would I. Equally, as the article pointed out, leave it to a doctor to stop the fight when he sees danger and chances are he'd step in around about the time this starts playing. I don't think we can take sport out of its context and place it in the street, either, because then much of what happens on the field of play would be considered illegal and actionable – from bowling bouncers in cricket to even the most routine foul tackle in football. I'm afraid Dave is nearer to it. In business, as in sport, there will always be winners and losers. Again, this is a generational thing. 'Just the winner making sure the fight is over?' Joao Carvalho was punched repeatedly despite having been downed and the referee did not stop the fightThat Carvalho's death was perfectly legal and sanctioned questions the credibility of MMA as a sportCarvalho died in Beaumont Hospital two days after taking on Ward in Dublin (above)Nick Blackwell ended up in an induced coma after his fight with Chris Eubank Jnr at Wembley ArenaChris Eubank Snr could be heard telling his son to stop hitting Blackwell's head as the ref hadn't stopped it


The participation numbers in football, including amateurs, are vast.

It's an accident because Ward didn't mean to kill him; but what the sport requires Ward to do will result in tragedy occasionally, and the fighters have no control over this 'accidental' part of the contest.I know what you're saying Matt, but everything in the training of these fighters is telling them to end it, by any legal means, and ground and pound is an accepted closer in MMA.

Yet it is hard to watch what happened to Carvalho and see it as anything more sophisticated than a man being beaten to death; and that is why there are so many issues around it. I've had friends who fought in the ABAs and my dad's market stall was opposite the Canning Town gym that was home to Frank Bruno. No mention of comparable danger, but I will say this. It commanded space and profile because it was the match of the day but in terms of specific interest, we're clueless. I wouldn't advance Cinderella Man in the name of boxing.
