I hope yall think about this when yall decide to call another fighter a coward,chicken or whatever just because he doesnt want to fight YOUR favorite fighter. This should make you think why they go for the money. They know that cant do this for long. Not everybody is like barrera and the klits with an education. 90% of the boxers dont have nothing else because this is all they know since they were little. So they MUST have a "get it while the getting good attitude. You only have a handfull of fighterts these days that do it for pride. Boxing is their job and just like you at your job you feel like your worth more than what your paid for...right...Well try working somewhere where you can and some cases will get brain damage lose teeth, break your nose, break a rib,hands,jaw etc.....You would say...the only way id work there is if they paid me a hella lot of money!!!.....Welcome to the world of a boxer....

The World Boxing Council will provide financial support for the family of the Mexican fighter who died today after a five-day coma induced by a knockout punch.

The 24-year-old Daniel Aguillon died in a Mexico City hospital.

Last Wednesday, he was knocked out by fellow Mexican Alejandro Sanabria in the 12th round of a super-featherweight bout for the Central American title, sanctioned by the WBC.

"Daniel's death was totally an accident," WBC general secretary Mauricio Sulaiman said today.

"The fight was supported by the WBC and therefore our priority is to help the family so they do not go through financial trouble. The WBC, the promoters and all the people around boxing are committed to donate money to Aguillon's widow and children."

Aguillon (16-4-2, 9 KO) was punched in the jaw in the last minute, fell unconscious and never recovered.

The WBC has been harshly criticised for clearing Aguillon for 12-round bout, even though he'd never fought past 10 rounds.

But Sulaiman said Aguillon passed all necessary medical tests and he nearly won the fight before the knockout blow.
