The World Medical Association, representing 8 million doctors in 70 countries, again called for a ban on "the simply barbaric act" of boxing. This after brain surgery to remove a blood clot from the brain of Paul Ingle following the defense of his featherweight title. At last report, he is still in a coma. Well, at least it's good to see that the law protect chickens and dogs from this sort of treatment.http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2000/12/19/sports1016EST0318.DTL&nl=fix
