Choi Yo-Sam Slips Into Coma after Win

[BrooklynBomber]

I wish him speedy recovery.

[ferocity]

Kind of ironic with all the Chavez/Taylor talk we've been having on the board recently. Hope he pulls through.

Those were my thoughts when i read the first post.

I hope he has a full recovery.

First off I just want to make it clear I hope he gets better soon. But fighting on Christmas Day, that ain't right!!!

I am entirely ignorant of South Korean traditions, but would fighting on Christmas Eve be significant in anyway there?

[MELLY-MEL...]

I was at the Fernando Montiel Vs Pedro alcazar fight, I was happy montiel won. Then I found out the Next day Alcazar died, made me really appreciate the sport after that. These guys are risking their lives, this **** isnt a game.

You dont "Play" boxing.

very true man. hope the guy can pull through!

Christmas is celibrated there but its not a huge holiday or anything. The country is more than half christian though.

Thats crazy that he managed to hold on for the win. I hope this guy gets better.

man koreans have always been dodgey about boxing a gd example is how they took roy jones jr gold medal away when he dropped the guy 3 times in a 4 rounder rofl.
Fighting on christmas day? who would? u wudnet get any americans doing that

Former WBC mini-flyweight champion Yo-Sam Choi remains in a coma and in critical condition after undergoing an emergency two-hour brain operation on Tuesday night in Seoul, South Korea. Choi collapsed in the ring following a points win over Heri Amol. Dr. Park Hyeong-ki told the Korea Times "Right now we are relying on drugs to relieve intra-cranial pressure and stop the bleeding, but we can't say he is in any better condition than he was yesterday. It will take at least a week to tell whether he will ever regain consciousness."
