If I got into boxing but just to get good at boxing not really compete.. did a lot of bag and speed stuff and some sparring.. could I really ever get brain damage (Yeah I know there's always the chance but you know what I mean.. like how rare is it)

well, look at George Foreman....he named all of his kids George, because he figured he would become "punch drunk" (a kind of brain damage) and wanted to make sure he could remember his kids' names.

Not from training and probably not from sparring..headgear prevents brain damage, and when you spar you wear heavier gloves than when competing, so the punches will come at you slower and with more padding so they dont cause much damage.

annoying hits even by using head kit can nevertheless provide minor abrasions to you suggestions, collectively as the actual fights, in case you get blind sided or hit collectively as off stability and open then concussions are very probably. Concussions are no longer often risky in small numbers, yet above 4 or 5 and you're watching everlasting harm. reckoning on severity, significant harm can ensue any the place from the 5th to the fiftieth one. That back and back or to any extent further than that at you unfastened a good number of your previous psychological ability.

Yes, the potential is there, sparring even though your wearing bigger gloves and head protection it is still technically foreign for your head to get hit. Our skull is designed to protect our brain but not for prolonged periods and not for use as a punching bag.
