I remember it as well. Sad day. Garcia Had just fought Genaro Hernandez previously for the WBA belt. I agree Gabe was never the same after that. What made it even worse was that on the night Jimmy Garcia died from injuries, Gabe Ruelas also had to watch his brother Rafael get brutally ko'd by De La Hoya.

How many of you guys remember watching Garcia gamely fought back with no chance to win. He lost the fight and approx 13 days later died. Discuss!

Super featherweight Jimmy Garcia, the Colombian boxer who suffered a brain injury in a championship fight two weeks ago, died early yesterday in Las Vegas. He was 22.

Garcia died at 1:43 a.m. PDT at University Medical Center when doctors declared him brain dead and turned off the life-support system that had sustained him since surgery following the May 6 fight. His doctors at first were optimistic about Garcia's prognosis, but he suffered a stroke a week ago, his kidneys stopped functioning Monday and he deteriorated quickly after lapsing into a coma.

His death was not unexpected by the doctors or by Gabriel Ruelas, the fighter whose fists ended up killing him. "I was just hoping for a miracle during the past few days," Ruelas said.

Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, said doctors told him Garcia's kidney failure was due to the amount of medication needed to reduce swelling in Garcia's brain.

Yeah, that was such a tragedy.

Ruelas was never the same fighter afterward.

Very sad day.

It was very sad. I was sad that some Colombians were glad he died.

Probably. If not, it should be streaming on Amazon, since they have it on DVD. Or you can order the DVD.
