Ronney Vargas dies
Junior middleweight prospect Ronney Vargas was senselessly killed Saturday by a gun shot to the chest on Saturday morning while sitting in his car in the Bronx. The tragedy occured after a late night argument at a local deli and the 20-year-old Vargas later passed at St. Barnabas Hospital. He finishes with a pro record of 8-0 with six knockouts after a stellar amateur career. No arrests have been made. Fightnews extends sympathies to his family and friends.

Why does it seem to be getting such a popular theme? Boxers being murdered with weapons either after their careers are over (usually working as some kind of security) or like in this case as a hot prospect trying to make a name for themselves.

This world seems to be getting more cowardly all the time. These people (the murderers) know that one on one they don't stand a chance with these professional fighters so they get weapons to do what they can't. It knocks me physically sick.
Although I'm sure the firearm was illegally obtained, it speaks to the utter brilliance of the 2nd Amendment of our anachronistic constitution - absurdity! Another promising life cut-down before he ever had the chance to really experience life: senseless, tragic, and it really pisses me off!

R.I.P. Vargas: may the next world be kinder than the last.
