    Accidents/Deaths in the ring

    I was just thinking about this, and i figured id ask,

    do you know of any boxers who has gotten seriously hurt (braindamage etc) or even killed in the ring (or days later) post all you know about it (when, who, how etc)

    thanks in advance

        Watch Nigel Benn vs. Gerald McClellan

        Or Eubank vs Watson II. Benn/McClellan fight is more dramatic though.

            I think knowing about what's happened is enough, there's no need to watch the fights again surely?

                    Well in that case he should look further into boxrec. I know there's a lot of material on ring fatalities.
