This is the 3rd or 4th or 10th fighter who's written in the Player's Trib about his anxiety about fighting. Combine head injuries, constant fear (of tomorrow's face-punching, of losing your job), alcohol & drugs to dull the pain...and you've got a seriously damaged head. Both physiologically and psychologically.
I enjoy watching hard hits and spontaneous fights, but there's just too much damage being done.
