My goodness. Very sad.

I feel like the pre-fight brain exams need to be more extensive. Some people are just susceptible to brain bleeds and shouldn't be fighting at all.

 

[Fluffernutter]

Bantamweight.

How much weight did he cut?

Did he enter the ring dehydrated?

 

[MMALOPEZ]

RIP … Sad news

RIP

Man, he was in a coma for a long time. I was hoping for the best, but knew this could have been a high possibility. RIP Prayers out to his loved ones.

3 knockdowns should be the limit no matter if they happened in different rounds. He got kd 4x

RIP

happens in the lower weights more often

23? Incredibly tragic. Win, lose or draw. Champion, contender or journeyman. All fighters deserve their props.

 

[Hagler]

The kid was talented. Awful news anyway.

 

[Kovalev's "Man Bag"]

Well shit. The worst case scenario happened. I saw his last fight. He was talented indeed. RIP

 

[Mickf]

RIP, very sad. I heard there wasn't much medical care at the fight.

then pacquiao beat marquez

no

no

And this is somehow worse than people dying or getting their brains scrambled beyond repair? I'm all for gritty fighters, but 3 knockdowns seem reasonable.

maybe they can pre screen the fighters for susceptibility to brain injury or something analogous, and for those fighters, there's a 2 knockdown instant stop rule

always a reminder while we call it the sweet science it's still a violence based sport
