      I have seen a few old fights where fighters died after, but I have never seen it live. I actually never heard of the Levander Johnson- Jesus Chavez fight before this.

        I've seen a few on TV but have thankfully never seen it live. I have seen quite a few guys get taken out on the stretcher though. Micheal Covington I thought was dead when he got knocked out by Andrew Murray. The punch he was hit with sounded like a gunshot and Covington didn't stir for what seemed like forever. Auggie Sanchez getting carried out after the Hamed fight was also another notable one I recall offhand. From TV I remember jimmy Garcia, Do Koo Kim, Johnson and Kid Akeem. I'm sure their are others I could remember later. The worst in history probably has to be Emile Griffith killing Benny Paret. Brutal ring death!

                Nazareth died because of a brain hemorrhage, I actually was watching that fight on TV and it was a great fight, very entertaining until that happened. Terrible thing to watch.

                  I've seen one or two on old videos where I knew what happened before I watched but never while I was watching boxing in person or on tv.
