Arguello, Gatti, Nazareth, Forrest and Montivias. That's five boxers, three former champions and two post-fight deaths, the longest death streak that I remember within the sport.

As a fan, I can't take much more news like this.

Arguello, Gatti, Nazareth, Forrest, and now Montivias.

Too bad for boxing this month! 5 active and inactive boxers died just in July is inconceivable! I am speechless to this.. thanks to these great boxers for their times they gave just to entertained us. RIP boxing heroes!

No problem Organik. Francisco Moncivais was a good kid and I was just trying to set the record straight. I just spoke to his opponent and he is having a very hard time dealing with it. I can't even imagine. People that have never competed in any combat sport like boxing or mma don't understand there is a mutual respect among their peers in most cases even if unspoken. I'm going to pay my last respects to Pancho tomorrow. I can't get the image out of my head, but I want to support his family.

My prayers go out to you and his family.
It is indeed a tragic loss.

A friend of mine died in the ring some years ago. I know this is no consolation but his mom actually said to me "He died doing what he loved".

RIP Francisco..
