When Timothy Bradley Jr. spoke at length, prior to his recent fight with Juan Manuel Marquez, about the prolonged post-concussion syndromes he had suffered following his brutal win over Ruslan Provodnikov earlier this year, boxing's medical community applauded. Boxing is, of course, inherently dangerous, and corners, commissions, ringside physicians, promoters, managers and the like are frequently prevailed upon to improve fighter safety. But educational efforts directed at boxers themselves, helping them to understand and feel empowered to talk about the health effects of their chosen profession, are comparatively thin on the ground.
