A lot of people on the internet saying he has died when he has not yet. Sort of disrespectful to Hector Camacho to be honest, and it happened with Emanuel Steward last month. The internet has sort of created the problem. A month ago people were saying Emanuel Steward died before he did. I sort of blame twitter for this. That site makes it so that people can say what they think without much basis for fact, and then people who hear a comment turn it into fact. The site is good for finding out what is happening as it happens, but it also opens up the possibility of false facts, and that is what has happened.

Earlier I saw people on twitter say that Hector had a 4 percent brain activity-which was not true. He had a 4 rating of 15 on what they call a Glasgow scale of brain activity. But people just see the 4 and turn it into whatever they want like percentage of activity without knowing what the real story is.

thats right, the emanuel steward thing was the worse with the reports of him passing. it comes down to people half ass reading something and wanting to post it and sound like they are the first with breaking news or something, then other people following behind on the ignorant train. anytime i see a report on a message board like that, i check a few other news sites for confirmation, rather than the 23 year old fat guy who lives in his moms basement using her computer

I saw the news while watching Ali vs Fraizer III on ESPN classic. I was shocked. Fastest hands EVER in boxing.

Hang in there Macho... What a shame... The demons so many fighters have behind them. Macho was a fun fighter to watch back in his day, Slick, A bit cocky but always fought the best there was.

Hope I don't have to say it but judging by reports I hope Camacho rests well.

Lived in Temple Terrace 33617
Each tme I go back to visit it is changing.

I still have friends and family....in Town and Country and Tampa...Waters/Dale Mabry area by the stadium.

Nice place to visit but not to live.....I always joke that half the people there drive with their left blinkers on!!!

especiallly in Safety Harbor / New Port Richey area / Springfield / Homosassa.......ah lets not leave out Brooksville the land of "sheets and hoods"!!! LOL!


What area are you from?

[ricardinho]

Camacho you will be missed...my prayers are with your family.

German BILD says that Camacho was shot in the neck and face, he is in critical but NOT life-threatening condition.

PR news just said that the person who was with Camacho was the leader of a prostitution network en ghe metro area and that was always surrounded by "money people" in which he also aranged private sessions. They found cocaine ( I think 8 or 9 bags) 1 was opened and they are saying that they were just about to sniff.

Regardless of what people are saying, he was always great to watch and had the best entrance... But this looks bad and they are waiting for camacho jr to make the decision if he is disconnected or not

[Jovanie]

I think they are going to declare brain dead at 930 am... The doctor said that they are going to give the final diagnosis to the family and media

[Jovanie]

Doctor just said that he has clinical brain dead and that there is nothing they can do... Just waiting for last test
