That article was great! Thanks for posting it, Lady! Muhammed Ali is a legend, and he truly loves his daughter. I love how she is so much like her daddy, too!

Does Laila actually still box? I'd think that seeing her father's condition would have made her thing twice about entering into that profession.

Just an FYI, Billy Ray and partner were on Good Morning America in an interview with Tom Bergeron. He presented Billy Ray with an "8" paddle, since Billy Ray never got an 8 while he was on the show.

I thought it was sweet that Billy Ray said they would autograph it and auction it to earn money for St. Jude's Children's Hospital.

Hukd, I'm pretty sure on one of the very early DWTS shows this season she said she is no longer boxing. IIRC, she said she won the top title (?) and there wasn't anything higher she could aim for so she retired.

Laila was boxing at least until February of this year. She stopped her opponent in that fight, in the first of 10 rounds. She had a 24-0 (21 KO's) then. I think she's taking time off for DWTS.

She's also said she didn't grow up close to her father.

quote:

Ali is reluctant to compare herself to her father: "We're two different people, but I know that because I am his daughter that I naturally have boxing skills that most people probably don't have when they start" she told reporters before her Verona debut. "My dad never had this much attention on him when he was first fighting,"

Ali's decision to box despite her father's struggle with the symptoms of Parkinson's disease has of course sparked a mixture of debate and criticism.

Ali states that her father painted the worst possible picture of boxing for her and "he doesn't want me to get hurt" but supports her 100 percent. "He always wants to make sure that I know what I'm doing is not easy and you're going to get hit and bruised and the wind is going to get knocked out ... he always takes your mind to the worst possible scenario to see if you're going to still want to go forward with it", she says. "I'm going to get hit, I'm going to get my face swollen, it's going to happen," she said.

I seem to remember that when Ali was diagnosed there was a way they could tell it was from all the blows to his head from boxing.

Repeated concussions over many months or years can eventually cause more serious brain injury. For example, boxers can develop a form of permanent brain damage called "punch drunk" syndrome or dementia pugilistica (pronounced dih-MEN-sha pyoo-juh-LIS-tuh-kuh). Perhaps the best known example is the great boxer Muhammad Ali. Ali eventually developed Parkinson's disease (see Parkinson' disease entry), believed to be caused by head injuries sustained while he was active as a boxer.

In fact, several years ago, the legislature passed boxing reform including safeguards for determining and testing for repeated brain injury and dubbed it the Muhammad Ali Safety Act, or some such thing.

I remember when Ali's long time trainer, Angelo Dundee, quit because Ali wouldn't stop boxing after so many hits to the head. Dundee was all kinds of pissed off.

It is amusing there are so many Joeys; I guess no women stars are going this year. Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamilin, who went last year, this year are busy with their production of Chicago opening on Broadway. Drew and the two previous Joeys went last year, right? Anyone else? I know Willa Ford was supposed to but pulled out.

So I think Joey Fatone, Kym, and Julianne are the new ones this time round.

Of course there are, there is no question about that. It isn't much different than saying there are smokers who don't develop lung cancer and non-smokers who do. As Kar pointed out above, there is certainly a correlation between repeated concussions and the development of brain injuries.

When I saw the tour in Worcester in February, Kym was with the tour. She was sidelined with an injury that night though, and Julianne was the stand-in.
