Literally the goal is to give your opponent a concussion.

False... You can win by only hitting your opponent in the body.


As an alternate yeah, but everyone wants to go for the knockout above all when they can.

So are you guys saying that because of CTE boxers and MMA fighters have adjusted their styles to not hit their opponents in the head as much or are you all just wasting time by saying ACKCHYUALLY there are other ways to win (no shit).

what no, it's just that it's not a viable strategy for some boxers and a TKO is much easier to obtain - if anything headhunting becomes easier after wearing down your opponent via grappling/body shots- very few fighters can snipe like Prime McGregor or Wilder or even O'malley

Also I don't know if I've ever seen a guy in mma or boxing get murdered quite as hard as some of the people Scott Steven's laid out.

He gave *lindros 20 years worth of head shots in a split second.

Dunno where pronger came from.

TC is mad that you can win a fight with body shots.


Are guys trying to do that now instead of hitting in the head because of CTE or has literally nothing changed in boxing/MMA at all and its just coincidence that some guys dont go for the knock out (AKA my exact point).
