WASHINGTON -- Two former boxers, Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Harry Reid (D-Nev.), welcomed representatives of the worlds boxing and mixed martial arts organizations on Tuesday to announce support for a study to understand the effects of repeated blows to the head. Bringing together the rival bodies of combat sports is no small feat. But theyve committed $600,000 to the Cleveland Clinics Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. "These athletes are here in support of their fellow athletes because theyve seen the results," McCain said. "If we dont do this, Im afraid that support for these incredible, entertaining sports will wane on the part of the American people." Former middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins, who is still active at age 49, said his participation was important, "while Ive got the voice, while Ive got the knowledge of how important it is."
