    R.I.P William "El Martillo" Morelo

    Wow, this has to stop, William was just 24 years old, his last fight he lost by UD versus Argentinian prospect "Tigre" Saldivia, a fight that was shown on HBO PLUS to all of Latin America.

    He was killed by 2 Sicarios yesterday, when he was entering his gym close to the Miguel "Happy" Lora Coliseum, the killers then escaped the scene on a bike.

    His Brother Wilson Morelo is a Pro Soccer player with one of the most powerful teams in Colombia, America de Cali.

    His Record 26-7-1 (19 KO's)

        Boxers that we rarely ever know of die everyday. I hope this isn't going to be a trend for posters to find boxers that have died recently. If so we will get ppl that died that were a boxer once a month on average.

          I saw his last fight versus Saldivia, he gave a very good effort, versus Saldivia.

          It's not my fault that you don't have HBO PLUS

              What's the total death total now?

              Alexis Arguello - shot in chest.
              Arturo Gatti - Strangled?
              Vernon Forrest - Shot.
              William Morelo - Shot.
              ....Also, weren't there two other guys who also died from head injuries? Anyone have their names?

                I've seen reports of fighters dying when they wern't really known at all. I think this is genuinely a bad month with regards to deaths.
