      Ever watch Foreman's gold medal bout against the Soviet? That was so bloody they needed blood donations from the Red Cross to keep fighting.

          That was 1968. They wear headgear now, there's no turning back.

          Still, I like Olympic boxing. I wish I got to see it.

            Headgear doesn't stop your nose from getting crushed. Or your eyes from getting cut.

            You can also put headgear on MMA guys too if you wish, but I don't think it's going to stop blood from being spilt.

              You know, I just watched that fight and it wasn't as bloody as I thought it would be. Certainly not on the level of McGregor-Diaz.
