    Herol's on his knees man, very sad. I don't know whether it was a great idea to interview him at this stage, perhaps when he's on the road to recovery or when he's a bit more together !

    this is really sad.
    it usually isn't the guys that were know for having chin problems that end up like that, but the so called "iron chinned warriors" that took far too many big hits in their careers that would have turned the lights out for many others.

    That's really sad to hear he always comes across as a lovely guy in interviews and he was a very talented fighter who could and really should have won a world title. I hope his girlfriend manages to beat her cancer and he can make as best a recovery from what he's currently going through as is possible.

    I think reflex fighters with above average head movement show signs more than your average style. I'm sure I've read that in the past, that or dreamt the whole thing up

    there's some logic in there too, with their brains constantly moving rapidly in their skull, and if they get hit it would to extra damage due to amplifying it or collision, depending on which side the punch connects.

    Yep makes sense to me, jerking your head back after cutting weight as fighters do would shake the brain !

    I thought this was going to be that he'd passed away. It's awful that so few fighters have a successful life after hanging up their gloves.

    I'm very upset at hearing this. Terrible sad story. I sincerely hope he can make some kind of decent recovery. Would money help to get him the help he needs? Could some sort of fund be set up....
