    Unhappy Young fighter died in a bout today

    Frankie Leal passed away in a fight against Raul Hirales at just 26, it's on all the main boxing websites.

    Sad stuff, don't have many comments just wondering whether anyone had seen this guy before and had an idea of what shape he was in. He apparently left the ring on a stretcher against Gradovich(who edged Billy dib in a stinker on FNF not long back) and Top ranks matchmaker took to twitter saying this was not surprising and he shouldn't have been allowed to fight again etc. Going to post video of the last round as it's really doesn't appear that brutal and just goes to show what can happen in this sport. Cards were even, the round starts pretty competitively and then Leal was in a bad way really quickly after a couple of shots. You can tell he starts reacting terribly to glancing blows towards the end and collapses, was never unconscious that I could see. Are MRI's and cat scans standard for fights of this calibre, could this have been a case where he clearly had brain damage that should have barred him from competing?
