Can repeated blows to the head (from a blunt attack like a punch) cause issues with brain damage?

Yes: The sport of boxing has long caused "dementia pugilistica" in vulnerable combatants. American football and hockey can cause a chronic post-traumatic encephalopathy due to repetitive concussions. There are some genetic profiles in certain individuals who encounter higher consequences.
