Professional boxing poses risks of concussion-related brain trauma. Yet from “Rocky” to “Creed,” we see boxing persist as a cultural icon. Does boxing’s value as a sport and the lifeline it can offer young people justify its dangers?

On Vital Signs with Brendon Fallon, U.S.A. Boxing team physician Dr. Barry Jordan highlights the brain-trauma dangers that he’s encountered in the sport. Dr. Jordan has 40 years experience in sports neurology.

“In boxing, they say it’s the punch you don’t see. [For] soccer, it’s the ball you don’t see. If you don’t see the ball coming, it may catch you off guard and it causes your head to move and that could cause a problem.”

Antonio Graceffo, former professional boxer in Asia, now China economist, gives his first-hand accounts of boxing injury.

“You’d see the punch coming. And you’re so tired that you debate, ‘Would I rather let that punch hit me? Or would I rather move out of the way?’”

Despite its brain health dangers, both experts have chosen to support boxing in their own capacities. What deeper value do they see in the sport, particularly for youth?

How does the “rise from the ghetto” theme in movies like “Rocky” and “Creed” stand up to the reality for pro-boxer hopefuls?
