    Very sad and awful news.

    It just shows though that boxers can be beyond recrimination within the fighting arena. For example, Nigel Benn Claimed to hate Chris Eubank, he could have killed him in the ring and have it ruled 'Accidental death' I sometimes question why I love this sport but I do.

    That's terrible news. I hope the other fighter is able to recover. I remember when Ray Mancini knocked out Duk Koo Kim and he died. Took Ray a few years to get over it. Found out later that Kim's mother and the ref also took it hard, and both committed suicide a few months after the bout.
