Dad,

A quick Google http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=the+effects+of+boxing+on+the+brain&aq=f&oq= turns up:

I have rarely ever seen such relevant Google results on a first search attempt.  It should be clear to anyone concerned with children’s health that boxing is more than a mere risk to their health.  I’m surprised it’s legal.
