    So sad to see and also another reminder of how dangerous boxing really is. RIP

    He saw the devil.

    Notice the quick glance to the corner before he walks over to take swings at satan. For some reason it happens to footballers now & then. The person randomly starts to act possessed for a few seconds before the grim reaper just "takes them". It's chilling to see.

    Reading the NY Post article, it sounds like doctors thought he had a blood clot but didn’t have the tech to identify and remove it.

    Quite bizarre. And very sad.

    Rest in Peace, Simiso Buthelezi.

    Damn man, RIP. Exactly why my love for boxing can never be all blood and guts. Real lives on the line for our entertainment and sometimes it goes terribly wrong...
