Former world champion Hector "Macho" Camacho, 50-years-old, was in critical condition Wednesday after being shot in Bayamon, Puerto Rico on Tuesday night - with doctors and his family expected to wrestle with whether to take him off life support after his condition worsened.
Camacho was outside a bar in a parked Ford Mustang with a friend when he was shot in the face. The friend, identified as 49-year-old Adrian Mojica Moreno, was killed. Camacho was rushed to Centro Medico, where doctors initially said he was fortunate in that the bullet passed through his head and lodged in his shoulder. Torres did state that Camacho could be paralyzed from the shooting.

The thread is miss leading and should be removed.. Camacho is not brain DEAD and the doctors will do another round of test tomorrow..
This is terrible news hopefully he pulls through we'll have to keep him and his family in our prayers.
If anybody on this God’s green earth that we live in wants to say they know the greatest sport in the World and that’s my beloved Boxing, then you have to say you watched Hector “Macho” Camacho’s career because I know a lot of you guys hate him but to me he was 1 of a kind at his time in the 80’s and it was Hec that got me into the sport at a young age and because of that I feel like I might lose another great (Emanuel Stewart) of the sport in such a short period of time… I love you Hec and I thank you for all the good times & money I made while you were running ****..Get up Champ no man alive ever knocked you out and it had to take a manmade weapon to put you in the Klink..
I can't understand how people can complain about how Puerto Rico has declined when it is a world wide epidemic. Mexico is an outright war zone and certain parts of the US have been decimated by this scourge. It's outright shameful, so people try to clean it up and defend their county's pride, but that's just denial. He got caught up in the drug war and now we're saying goodby to a great warrior. Yet we have other fighters and countless others who have dabbled and fed this monster and they act as if it was just fun. Well, this is the result of your fun. God will accept Camacho, no matter what, but he didn't have to go like this. God Damn *******.
Unfortunately the news here in Puerto Rico that just came out is that he's brain dead.. So it's just a matter of time.. I had the privilege to meet him a couple of months ago at a boxing card & he was really cool & a funny guy.. He will be missed..
me and hector went to the same Dr when he was here in michigan. he was a down to earth man we had lunch a few times and he came to the dearborn sports center to watch me spar. he even got in the ring with me to spar. thats when i learned the difference between a pro and a joe. he liked to talk trash and to talk period. he was funny and always in a good mood. boxing and the world will lose a good man. ou will be greatly missed my friend but even still " ITS MACHO TIME"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
people tried to make him out to be a racist after that statement. but anybody that knew hector knew he was no racist. i know this personally he was my friend and i was a virtual nobody in the sports world. a man from the medical world that dabbled in boxing. hector loved to trash talk but he loved all races. if you were cool he was cool.
