Pritchard Colon has a severe brain bleed after today's fight

[javaboxing]

I'm pulling for Colon. I was there live at the fight and a few of us fans can tell that he wasn't doing well off camera-post fight.

He was verrrrrrrry slow to exit the ring and needed help walking towards the dressing room. He looked very disoriented. It's probably a blessing in disguise that his corner accidentally disqualified him and prevented further blows.

INOVA FAIRFAX Hospital is the hospital you want to be at for ANY medical care. I have no doubts that he will get the best medical care that he needs.

From Univision

El púgil de origen boricua se sintió mal después del combate, tuvo mareos, vómito y desmayos, por lo que fue llevado a un sanatorio.

Se dio a conocer vía El Vocero, periódico puertorriqueño, que Colón tenía un sangrado en el cerebro y fue operado de emergencia.

Ricardo Colón, hermano de Prichard, pidió en Facebook que oraran por su familiar.






He had to have emergency surgery and his brother is asking people to pray for him
He was dizzy, lightheaded, vomited and passed out

How can you be in San Jo and be un compadre latino like me but hate on GGG the p4p king!?

FK!!!!!!!!! Damn I hope them can stem the tide of his bleeding and that he recovers fully, unlike Magdamov who has not.

In retrospect, his corner may have saved his life, if he lives, and recovers.

Williams Shouldn't Sleep at Night

Brain bleeding is actually more common than people think. Surgery combined with several months, maybe a year, of recovery and he should be back in the ring. Also, I'm not so sure it was because of this fight in particular. This guy fought 3 times in a 2 month period from August to October. You shouldn't have that many fights close together like that. You need time to recover.

Anyways I wish him the best and hope he's able to return.

RESPONSE: Williams does not have integrity, to make an enormous understatement. His hitting Colon on the back of the head was sick. People said he didn't do it on purpose? Replay the video. It was a fierce and deliberate move made by a coward, by someone who can't play right. Who has to cheat and then stand on the mountain like a fool beating his chest as the great victor.
What a false hero.
Williams made eerie goon faces and stuck out his teeth into the air when he won. He had a crazed and idiotic expression. Distasteful and disturbing. Then he kept trying to hug colon after the decision while colon was clearly dazed and injured. Perfect. Cause a severe head injury to colon and then try to hug him. Williams may have no idea how twisted he and his behavior is.
The referee is a joke. What savageness does he have inside not to stop a fight when it should be stopped. I've seen other referees who immediately stop a fight with swift authority the minute it becomes too much and should be stopped.
And with a support team like colon has, he doesn't need enemies.
You can't give slaps on the wrists to boxers who don't perform with honorability. Docking Williams one point was ridiculous. The damage was done. It was a violent and illegal hit to the skull of colon. Some boxers do ugly things like this because they know they can get away with it.
Boxing officials and the boxing industry allow it.
Williams probably doesn't have the enlightenment and insight for his sleep to be affected.
Technically, a decent, self-aware person would not be able to sleep peacefully after causing injury to an opponent in such a low-handed and cowardly way.
I know who the real champion of the fight was and it wasn't Williams.
Williams seems like he would celebrate his victoriousness even if his opponent were laying there half dead, God forbid.
It was all very, very disturbing to me.
I am thinking so much of Colon and praying for a full healing.

This is heart breaking to hear. I hope he recovers soon! Prayers for him and his family!

Dont know if it's been posted yet. But I just read that he's now in a coma. Whether it was medically induced is not yet known per this report I read just now

[Blue Heffner]

I also thought he was doing things to buy time. I didn't know it was that serious. I hope he comes out this okay.

I heard he in a coma ..really worried for the kid
