Any Braylon Mullins medical update

I'm not sure if it was one specific thing. I'd guess it was a combination of having an abusive father , a smart mouth , drinking and drugs, getting involved with groups of people that gravitated towards these kinds of things , I enjoyed the challenge of fighting and the rush that I got from it. I think once i established that sort of reputation, people wanted to challenge me . I was never the biggest , strongest or fastest ( I'm about 6 ft 2 inches 220lbs) but I was very athletic, great instincts and treated every fight ( up until the last few) like the person was going to kill me if I didn't try to do everything I could to cripple them. I really don't think 75 fights is a lot , I'm probably underestimating to be honest with you. One fight a month for six years is 72 and I'm pretty sure it was more often than that.
I feel them all now though. Hopefully whatever brain damage I have doesn't completely wipe my memories out before I die..

6'2 220 isn't small for a normal guy. You are a decent size. Who are you fighting football players? Lol and 75 fights is not normal unless you do it for boxing. Sorry for yoir tough life.

I had to add "pretty sure" because that is what it looked like but I thought it was hard to be 100% certain. How high a probability is "pretty sure"? 95%?

And yes I already gave you credit for that here.

He got freaking clocked! You’re 100% wrong here.

You were right. During the game it looked like he got hit by Lewis's arm from a back swing. But he got clocked by a shoulder to the head.

What happened to you?

I don’t think Mike Tyson had 72 fights. Are there a lot of people that fight this much that you know?

Didn't think what I said was weird , I was responding to a question which originated from me stating that I most likely have brain damage.

Seems like you got yourself straightened out which is all any of us can do. I'm sorry to hear about your symptoms. I know you've got people counting on you. I'll say a prayer for you tonight and I wish you the very best.

Have you been given any specific advice by your doctor(s) and other medical professionals?

Are you confident about the medical advice?

Don't delay being evaluated if you haven't sought a full workup yet.

What these young people don't know is that when we fought back in the day, the only weapons we used were our fists. Of course this changed over the years when people started using guns and other weapons.

It was normal at my high school to see fights break out at least once twice a week. All fighters would then play ball together afterwards as if nothing happened. Revenge or retaliation was non existent. You got beat or you won, and you move on. I've had many many fights as a youngster and no weapons were involved. Being a star athlete I got challenged a lot but also pride would not let me back down.

Just saying fighting was a way of life as a teenager in my neighborhood (a tough one). However our injuries were 'only' black eyes, knots on the head or bruises, that's it.

Hell I probably fought you at one time or another.

I put off going to the doctor because I thought maybe these were just brain hiccups , until this year when I had multiple occurrences. My insurance was cut off this year so I'll have to wait a little while. I was told told by quite a few people that if it's CTE or something similar , they wouldn't know until an autopsy is done.

Unfortunately , yes , arrested a few times. Never sued but was sent a sizable check by someone's lawyer after he cut my thumb and split it wide open from top to bottom( looked like a butterfly) until I finally got ahold of him.. Thumb never looked or felt right again

Concussions are very serious. I'm 47 and have been concussed maybe 7 times. Twice in football , twice skateboarding and I've been in probably 75 or so fights in my life and have taken quite a few shots to the head. I just started experiencing severe memory issues . Forgot my wife's name two times over the last few years , couldn't remember that I was at work a few months ago until I saw the deliveries in my front seat , forgot that my manager was a manager , was trying to say the word glasses but could only say the word sandals ( like 5 times in a row) and have been having a tough time remembering words. These occurrences are pretty spread out but still very scary. I have a two year girl, a wonderful life and I cams to faith about 9 years ago after a long life of recklessness, drug abuse and lots of fighting. I don't want to forget my wife, my daughter and my Lord but it seems like that's where I'm headed. Concussions are serious . Get some rest Braylon

Sounds like you've put it behind you, and that's great. Reflection and readjustment are good things. Concussions are no joke, for sure. Even boxing as a sport has a lot of risks.
