    Default Hugo Santillan: Argentine dies after boxing injuries

    https://www.bbc.com/sport/boxing/49119157

    Argentine boxer Hugo Santillan has died from injuries sustained during a title fight, just days after the death of Russian fighter Maxim Dadashev.

    The 23-year-old collapsed in the ring on Saturday shortly after his WBC Latino Silver lightweight bout with Eduardo Javier Abreu in Argentina ended in a draw.

    He was taken to hospital and underwent emergency surgery but died on Thursday.

    "Rest in Peace, Hugo Santillan," the World Boxing Council said in a tweet.

    Santillan is the second boxer to die from injuries sustained in the ring this week after Dadashev's death was confirmed on Tuesday.

    The 28-year-old had been hospitalised with bleeding on the brain after his IBF light-welterweight fight against Subriel Matias was stopped at the end of the 11th round last Friday.

    He underwent emergency surgery but failed to recover.

    Boxing promoter Kalle Sauerland tweeted on Thursday: "A sad, sad week for boxing."

    RIP Hugo. He hadn't even begun to really live at just 23.

    I think one major problem is no unified Nation-world wide commission. We have States that actually 'borrow' them because they lack their own. Lots of craziness in Argentina, I remember seeing a fight where the ref literally held up an obviously badly hurt concussed fighter because he was a the heavy favorite and champion. A crooked official doing favors can get fighters severely damaged or worse.
