Tragedy: Fighter dies after bout

[ICB]

Lightweight Jackson Bussell passed away on Friday after battling Javier Garcia to a draw on Thursday night at the Sagebrush Cantina in Calabasas, California. Bussell, who took the bout on late notice, gave a good account of himself in the fight, but seemed to run out of gas late.

That's a damn shame; R.I.P. bro'

I'd rather be knocked out cold with one single punch, than receive some creeping damaging accumulation of regular punches in the head.

Brain shakes like a bowl of jelly, and it will baloon up... forcing the vein to burst.

[USA LOVES THE KLITSCHKOS]

This is sad my heart goes out to his family.

That's a damn shame; R.I.P. bro'

there needs to be a minimum amount of time for a substitution...like 3-4 weeks....this last minute stuff will only worsen boxing's image..

[No Contest]

Wow that place is like 5 mins from my house....my condolensces to his family. I wonder if they will have boxing there anymore.

[No Contest]

The kid he fought was only18 too, 3 fights into a career.

absolute tragedy.......shameful.......

[BoomBoom]

Very sad news. Sounds like maybe he was underprepared to fight. Im sure he loved to fight and he died doing what he loved but still a huge tragedy. Thoughts and prayers with him and his family RIP.

[Mad_Dog]

Rest in Peace... very very sad....

Me too. I live two exits off the 101. I was considering going but had an emergency come up at the last minute. I hate witnessing that sort of thing. I was also present when Vic Darchinyan put that one dude in a coma and he had to have emergency surgery.

It is very sad that this sort of thing still happens, but as we all know this is a man's sport and everyone who gets through the ropes knows that it can be brutal and that people can get hurt. Of course it is a tragedy, but you also have to feel for his opponent, who will now have to hold that guilt with him for the rest of his life.

[CutMeMick]

I was thinking about going to these fights as a friend of mine that works for a radio station had tickets but at the last minute I ended up going out with some friends elsewhere..


May he R.I.P.

A good referee should know exactly when to stop the fight.

This is a bad example...
