    It was so emotionally intense to watch as you felt both sadness and joy at once!

    It is perhaps one of the greatest things a boxer has ever done. Paco's family did the right thing by allowing their Paco to fight on!

    I watched it and it had my emotions doing involuntary things. I had to turn it off close to the end and go chop some wood and some other manly ****.

    It would be a shame for his body he worked so hard to keep in shape to go to waste... his heart.. to stop beating"

    Agreed
    people who call fighters cowards, or mock them for getting knocked out have no idea what it means to get inside a ring.
    Death is an absolute reality in boxing but sports now a day have been turned into nothing more then games and people watch boxing under this umbrella, but as the old saying goes, you don't play boxing.
    RIP Paco
