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.

R.I.P
RIP
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.
This is sad my heart goes out to his family.
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..Quote:

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.Quote:

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...
