    Always sad when a fighter falls. Thoughts with his family.

    R.I.P

    It wasn't a hard KO - not even a KO really...

    He was slowing during the fight after going down to 1 knee

    Then in the following 2 rounds seemed very weak

    Then when against the ropes almost fell down at his own will knowing something wasn't right

    Then held onto the ropes in his corner needing assistance

    Sounds like a blood clott to me...

    The sad side of boxing..

    R.I.P.

    This is the dark side of boxing.

    Though, it wasn't from at hard knockout. Something seemed wrong with him from round 3/4 or even earlier.

    R.I.P....

    I saw the stoppage you could see him also having stroke-like symptoms when it was stopped with his legs and balance giving out on him. Sad to see that.
