Hi, my friend started to forget things several months ago. Things which he was forgetting mostly were from near future. After some time he decided to visit his doctor and search for help. His doctor told him that he is suffering from dementia pugilistica. I would like to know what kind of dementia it is.

Hi, I was boxing coach for several years. While I was training boxers I was in situation to see several retired boxers with dementia symptoms. Club sent them to the hospital for examination. Main cause for this type of dementia was repetitive head trauma during their boxing matches. Only way to prevent such condition is to bring proper law and regulations which would protect health of boxers.
