Leclerc and Herrera (1999) suspect that rules are the only way to avoid terrible injuries and could reduce the risk of it happening, so if there isn’t any strict and firm rules for the fighters to go through, then boxing is going to be very destructive and could end people's lives, therefore it should be banned. I partially agree with the fact that boxing without rules and regulations should be banned because of its negative and destructive affects it has on people's lives, but in professional boxing there are many strict rules that do have consequences if avoided, examples of these rules are (No hitting below the belt, no hitting above the shoulders, hitting on the back of the head or neck, kidney punching) and many others that aren’t permitted during the contest, these rules can eliminate the possibility of a knock out, therefore making the sport safe and easily
