    It's sad news but when somebody makes a living getting punched in the head as hard as their opponent can punch for 10 rounds or so I am rather surprised that more boxers are not dying than the few we hear about.

    It goes to show how tough the human head is.

    It's terrible news though, I read that his last words on camera were something like 'I'm just glad I put on a good show for the fans'

    Terrible news. It will happen again and boxing is statistically safer than other sports but still shocking when deaths occur.

    As a fan you take it for granted the boxers will be safe.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
