Gloveless fighting is generally believed to result in less CTE because the other guy can't punch as hard without breaking his hand, plus you get cut more and fights stop more quickly on that basis. The worst is boxing where you get hit hundreds of times and it just accumulates and accumulates.

Right. CTE is getting repeated blows to the head that accumulate over time, not one nasty shot

Either way Im sure it didnt help. He died.

Tyson is going to do a Lennox Lewis exhib I guess. After the Roy Jones Jr exhib I can't see anyone buying it.

If he put his nuts up like Evander Holyfield and made it a sanctioned bout I'd consider buying because I know Mike Tyson is actually in very good shape. And I'm not talking about the "good shape" Holyfield was in against Vitor Belfort. Tyson looks great in the gym, but seems against a real bout because he doesn't want to hurt anyone. I'd go so far as to say Tyson is in shape enough to demolish Vitor.

But alas, another exhibition.

catching up on the news

he doesn't even have a stake in proper 12 no more, thats like naming the boat LW champ

The boat is what he converted his equity from proper twelve into. He'll have to cash out of another startup to fund the maintenance.
