I've been boxing for the past 3.5 months at a boxing gym and have probably lost 12 lbs. so far. It's a great environment for working out, because you actually have someone yelling at you not to slack off. Also, don't worry about the brain damage shit. That's something professional boxers have to deal with. You'll be sparring with head gear and a giant cup that protects your abs and nuts. If you check out the USA Boxing website, they have some stats on Amateur boxing injuries. Compared to most contact sports (equestrian included), amateur style boxing has one of the lowest injury rates in sports. Although, this can't be said the same for professional boxing.
Anyway, do it! I love it, and it's changed my life and my lifestyle. You'll work hard, get stronger, and overall feel better about yourself. Also, getting in the ring and throwing rounds against someone can be one of the most amazing feelings you've ever felt. Give it a try!
