[Jiddu Dali]

BoxingScene.com has been advised that Filipino bantamweight star Z Gorres (30-2-2, 15 KOs) was rushed to UMC Hospital in Las Vegas after winning a ten round decision over Luis Melendez (26-4-1, 21 KOs) at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay. Gorres was knocked down in the final round and survived to the bell. Following the end of the fight, he began to feel faint and collapsed. He was taken out of the ring on a stretcher. [details]

Condolences & prayers go out to him & his family!

damn, this is just too sad

[SceneSpectator!]

Too bad.. his career is most likely over. Oftentimes, losing is far better than to end up like this. Hope and pray he will pull out from this condition soon!

This is all the more reason that I want Pac to beat Cotto like he stole something tommorrow night. Of course I don't want Cotto to be hurt like that. I just hope it gives Manny inspiration to win the fight. Boxers have had pictures and names of Gatti and Corrales on their trunks, and said they were fighting for those guys.

[Breakbeat]

I hope this guy survives and lives a normal life again.

This is yet another tragedy for the sport of boxing. We felt sick of and sad for this year's July of death. Let's just hope Gorres will be alright.
