    Shame. He for sure won that world title fight out in Argentina.

    Nice fella, wish him all the best. Sad that his career is over but good that they picked the heart problem up before the fight. Mark of the man that he wanted to fight anyway and give it everything for a round or so. This is also why boxers need a good team to protect them from themselves at times.

    Wish him luck in his post boxing career.

    Shame that he couldn't take that last step up in his career from journeyman to beltholder.

    That's what I meant. He was so close making the complete journey. Shame this heart problem has cut him short.
