Z Gorres in critical condition!



By Chris Cozzone
We’re sad to report that bantamweight contender Z Gorres is in critical condition and undergoing surgery in a Las Vegas Hospital at this moment to relieve pressure on the brain. He collapsed after winning a ten rounder over Luis Melendez. Our thoughts and prayers go out to this great fighter.

I hate it when shit like this happens. Hopefully he's ok.

Not good news, fingers crossed that he pulls through okay.

i hope he's ok.. praying for him

This stuff always seems to happen the week of big fights. Hope he pulls through, wonder if this has anything to do with him cutting weight improperly which has shown to cause these type of injuries.

Gorres was dropped in the last round. But managed to hold on. Hopefully he pulls out of this

It's possible, it still doesn't shut people up suggesting fighters go back to weighing in on the day I also read some time ago people theorising that some people have fractionally thinner skulls, essentially they cant withstand too much head trauma. But it isn't the time for that discussion.

You can just hope for him, his family and his opponent that he comes through surgery and all's well.

Hope he recovers well from this.

Not good at all,do hope he makes full recovery,thinking of family.

Always a reality check when this happens,remember next time we slag a fighters record,standing in ranks,ability,etc....they all run the everyday & harsh risks that we as fans at times take for granted far to easily.

Thoughts and prayers with him and his family for a full recovery.

Hope things turn out good for him, thoughts with him & his family

He'll be kept in a coma for a few days to hopefully stabilize his condition. Other than that I haven't heard anything.

My thoughts and prayers are with him...

Terrible news,my prayers are with him too.

Tragic! Hope he's ok, but his career is over
