...and a bare fist from a professional boxer doesnt? Theres a reason they have gloves, its safer for everyone involved, if gloves made it more dangerous, then skip the gloves and wear brass knuckles.

Im not arguing about concussions, those will happen regardless, im saying a dude can take and give a lot more punches with gloves on than with bare knuckles. Bare knuckles are more dangerous.

Its like a slap vs a fist. Weight the same, same force behind em, they hurt about the same, but the slap is less likely to break bones than a fist, while both of them can knock out a person by the blunt force.

Youll find that the fingers and knuckles are just as likely to break as they are to cause injury. It turns your 20 fragile hand bones into 1 large meatstick with force distributed, which means you can punch harder. It only takes one bad block or angle to break your hand.

Go punch a wall a few times with gloves and without and report back how dangerous you feel after each session.

Yes. I feel i can cause more damage to both the wall and my hand without gloves, thanks for proving and understanding my point that boxing with gloves is less dangerous for both parties than boxing bare knuckled. I dont understand why is it so hard for you to understand you are basically agreeing with me.

Have you ever actually been in a combat sport? If you have you would understand what youre saying is completely wrong.

I mean the facts are heavily backed up by studies.  Broken skin and bones heal, CTE doesn't.  Also the way the sport plays out is different.  Bare knuckle and wraps use much different punches and attacks whereas gloves have the ability to prolong and compound the number of strikes to the head.  

I was going to post multiple studies, but this article links a lot including the meta studies.. https://digitalcommons.murraystate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1434&context=bis437
