Very sad. Rip. It's why I will never call any fighter a bum no matter what level they are because at the end of the day they put their lives on the line every time they step through them ropes.

apparently , they didn't even have an oxygen mask on hand. Terrible organization. Boxing is a dangerous sport, and all measures should be taken, in events like these, to save a fighters life . R.i.p

Mate, the video of the fight is on youtube (I didn't post it, as it may offend) but it's shocking. The stretcher, was basically a bit of canvas with handles that they lay the poor dude on and man handled out of the ring.

That's shocking, I've seen the video it wasn't nice. He didnt look from the knockdown that he took one big hit to end it, it's really sad what's happened though. RIP

Bit of both in the end

Tragic news. There didnt seem to be any medical assistance at all, just lump him onto a plastic sheet and drag him out of there. Insane.
