      Why didn't the ref stop the fight? I never saw the full fight but damn... I would think that would be preventable. Sad ****

        Different, G-man just wasnt right in the fight. He was blinking sooo much early on and a lot of people thought that was abnormal, I dont know if it was a freak accident or something but something just wasnt right.

            People who oppose the most accurate boxing anti-cheating tests need to check that video out. Imagine someone getting beat like that learning the opponent cheated. Even if not in such bad condition, Cotto has sustained mild brain injuries too. That affected him emotionally (his attitude towards fighting has changed) as concussions often do, and his susceptibility to take further concussions and mostly other types of injuries (concussions not always involved getting koed). The fighter who beat Mosley was a very good/great fighter. The fighter who fought Jennings was just average.

            We should support better testing and better reffing if we dare to call ourself fans. The reason boxing isn't a popular sport is the fact that it isn't really safe. Every year, several people get seriously injured.

                Where did he get that injury from? Boxrec says he had a couple one rounders before the fight almost a full year before, certainly that couldn't be it right? Didn't they CAT scan fighters then?

                  I dont give a toss what some idiot behind a computer says, Every fighter should fight for money if they wanted to and all fighters DO fight for money!!! Boxing is just too brutal sometimes and the consequences of when it goes wrong is just too sad to comprehend.

                    i'm speculating..........it may have been a clot or somthing else that was there before the fight which the blunt force trauma exacerbated........

                      Felt bad for the fallen G-man.

                      One question though, was Nigel Benn on some PED or something?

                      I mean coz i see Floyd's name and better testing mentioned. Why is that?

                      Sorry if i missed out on something...
