That's why the percentage of ring accidents and serious injuries before are higher. It's a good thing that after all those years, the organization has focused on wellness and fairness of the game so their players won't face a higher risk. We can't deny the fact that weight has a huge impact on the gameplay result so it should be fair from the beginning to make sure that the whole match would flow smoothly.
The medical team also plays a big part in the safety of the boxer. Those first aiders, the presence of an ambulance, and the decision of the referee to stop the fight if ever they see the boxer in an unfavorable situation. Many blame referees for the early stoppage but I commend them because they are knowledgeable enough to stop a possible disaster to happen. There are lots of cases in early boxing history that due to the negligence of the referee, many boxers suffer a devastating injury that either take a boxer's life or made a boxer have an early career retirement.
That's the life in boxing and boxers already knows that risks.
If they end up in death, it doesn't mean they are not careful but it's just unfortunate that it really happened.
That's why I hope that no boxer from now will meet their death at the ring although it's impossible.
