alexander allow boxing condemn days depending diagnosed doctor head injure matter mind nobody people results situation smaller sooner symptom takes test truth
People condemn boxing constantly. But the truth of the matter is that if you look at how boxing is regulated, even with the smaller commissions, you're going to see that for the most part, if a doctor has diagnosed the symptom that Shaun Alexander has described having, nobody in their right mind would allow them to go back into a situation where he could injure his head again, no sooner than 30 days, and it should be at least 45 days if not longer, depending on how his test results come out and for how long it takes for him to improve.
amnesia call event face fairly following head hear injury last nobody pass period prove retrograde situation wants
That's what we call a retrograde amnesia, which is an amnesia following the event for a period of time. That's a fairly significant concussion. That person may pass all of these tests, which may not prove one thing or another, and the last thing they need is to go back into a situation where they can face subsequent injury to their head again. But nobody wants to hear this.
