Further Observations on the Medical Aspects of Amateur Boxing

Abstract

Case 19.-A heavyweight aged 31 was knocked out "through the ropes" in 1945 and was dazed for the next 24 hours. The right leg was found to be weak immediately after his fight and continued so. Within the day or two following this same fight his right hand began to shake: the left hand started to tremble some six months later. He was hospitalized seven years later, a typical severe punch-drunk.
