NBA Moves To Prevent Boxing Deaths At NBA Convention
The National Boxing Association plans to make its Washington headquarters a central source for fighter records and injuries in NBA territory. Each boxer would carry an official card showing results of his last 10 fights, with six months retirement for 10 straight losses or excessive knockouts. This measure, urged by Andrew G. Putka, aims to reduce punch drunk risk after Jimmy Doyle's death, highlighting the value of past fight records over lone pre fight exams.
