Boxers who have died in the ring

George Fulljames, died after his bout with Tom Bannon in 1888 when he was knocked out in the first round. In 1949, fighting for the Australian Lightweight Title, Archie Kemp died after being KO'd by Champion Jack Hassen. Kemp was a very talented boxer and his tragic death virtually destroyed Jack Hassens career. Hassen a dynamite puncher who was on his way to boxing greatness, he was one of the top contenders for the world title, but after the Kemp fight. Jack could never again bring himself to hit with full power, he faded from the sport a broken man. As an old man in a nursing home old Jack said that he never got over the tragedy.

Out of topic but... Do you think OST will prevent those deaths inside the ring? :sad6: George Fulljames, died after his bout with Tom Bannon in 1888 when he was knocked out in the first round.

You see this is why some of the lack of respect on these forums is quite sad, I cringe every time someone calls a certain boxer a coward etc.

The one that hurts to read about most is where the unbeaten prospect kept getting headbutted and cheated against and ended up dying because of that too. I can't remember their names but this was in britain. The one responsible(Salem) should rot in hell. this one http://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Randie_Carver
