Masatate Tsuji: R.I.P.

The shocking and dramatic come-from-behind knockout at the hands of Yuji Kanemitsu came at 1:09 of the tenth and final round. He Tsuji was far ahead on all cards at the time.

Tsuji was immediately rushed to the Hospital where he tragically passed away on Tuesday due to a brain hemorrhage. It was the first ring death that happened in a title bout in Japan and left the Japanese boxing community, known for its high safety standards, in a state of shock.

Rest in Peace, warrior.

RIP, stories like this should be getting more attention rather than the endless threads about Pacquiao, Margarito, Barrera etc.

Thanks for posting these up mate.

I appreciate your post very much.

I hate hearing about this kind of stuff in sports, death in action is terrible.
