I've probably seen him fight in Chicago about 4 times.

It's weird thinking he's gone, but that piece brought it all back.

It was cool how in death he affected the lives of so many who really needed it.

Yeah, hard to watch. I'm glad that his organs saved so many lives.

Paco Rodriguez dreamed of being a hero

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/columns/story?id=6382633

Boxer Francisco "Paco" Rodriguez had dreams of being a hero before suffering fatal injuries during a title fight in Philadelphia. Through organ donation, his dream was realized.

Really tough to watch and read.
RIP
