    convince you people of the dangers of blunt force trauma to the head. A seemingly innocuous (is that word too big for you?) bump on the head and the next thing you know she's dead. That could be you.

    Well, maybe you should be lobbying the Skiing authorities, not the boxers

    RIP Natasha!

    So whats your point? Boxing should be banned?

    What about rugby?


    What about marathon running, football and hurling for that matter seeing as they have all been linked with recent tragic deaths? will you be posting on the Athletics, football and GAA forum that could be you?


    I find your post obnoxious, ignorant and exploitative.

    How respectful of you, using the plight of a poor women who suffered a terrible tragedy to push your agenda against boxing.

    I'd close this thread if not for the reasonable responses that posters have come to against your baiting in the past which tell tell things as they are.

    There's the last thread, and same rules apply, if you really want to debate this provide links etc and maybe if you really are concered about the health risks and don't just have a dislike of boxing you could think of ways to make the sport safer.

    Afterall as Cowzerp pointed out last time, not amateur boxer in Ireland has died from fighting or suffered major brain damage.

    This Book smart fella comes on every now and again to force his clueless point of view on everyone, he gets banned always and then just changes his name etc.. what a loser..

    And how does he not understand that everyone realises the dangers of boxing, its nothing new, just like the potential dangers in all contact sports..

    Book smart, you are an ignoramous of the highest degree!

    R.I.P Natasha.

    Booksmarts... Cop on, serioulsy. This has nothing to do with boxing and you shouldnt use this as your argument. Its really bad form. Go search the net for injuries occuring in the ring and start a thread on that, then you can get a debate going.

    TBH OP you're a fairly good advertisement as to the dangers of blunt force trauma to the head. One too many clouts round the head growin up by the sounds of things.

    Having read several accounts about what happened, I think the most likely scenario is that she suffered an aneurism, which was the cause of her initial fall.

    Although it was widely reported as being a skiing accident, I think the skiing was just a coincidence and that this could have easily happened to her sitting on the toilet and exerting some effort.

    Is there point in keeping this thread open ?

    Its getting more pointless by the minute - and has absolutely nothing to do with boxing.

    Seeing as the OP hasn't even bothered to defend his/her position, it simply shows me that he/she isn't all that bothered. Closing this waste of space.
