Damn It Man. Another One Is Lost. I Cant Knock Him For Having So Much Heart But The Human Body Can Only Take So Much. Sometimes You Can Be Your Own Worst Enemy.

most of the time the ppl who die in boxing seem to be smaller guys not the bigger ones. I'm not saying bigger guys don't die, but it always tends to be the smaller guys the majority of the time.

In places like Thailand and PI where there isn't a competent boxing commission, these fighters don't receive adequate physical or neurological exams and it's a damn shame. Managers and promoters set these guys up in fights and ride them until they drop. Incidences like these make boxing impossible to justify at times.

I WONDER IF IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE SO WEIGHT DRAINED TO MAKE 108-120. MAYBE BEING SO SMALL THEIR BODY IS NO SUITED TO TAKE SUCH A POUNDING.

Big guys don't have to make weight so their brains aren't dehydrated.
