This is so fking sad!! 24 hours ago he was living normal, eating, walking, talking, and hoping for a great fight and now his career is over and it is even doubtful he will have a normal life or maybe even a life. If he pulls through, he needs to be compensated for the rest of his life.

Ban boxing!

Hopefully he pulls thru.

I don't got the stats or anything & I'd be curious if there are stats for this, but it seems like once you get to this point you're pretty f#cked unfortunately. You either die or you are a shadow of yourself from now on. Neither are good options, but I think I'd prefer the former if given a chose for myself in this sorta situation. Is there any boxer who's been in this sorta position thats alright today that I'm not recalling?

Barrera didn't even get injured in the ring that I can recall. I know he had surgery due to an brain issue he had, but definitely an entirely different situation.

I'm talking about guys who've been injured in the ring, have had to have emergency surgery due to some bleeding or swelling situation with their brain & been put into a coma or were in a coma & got to walk out the hospital normal or close to normal at some point. Seems like when I hear about these types of things happening the "good news" is the guy is a shadow of who he was on a McClellan or Mago level give or take.

[Cinci Champ]

this are the type of wake up calls i hate to hear about. we all are guilty of complaining when a fight is stopped early a fighter dont get up when he can etc. hope this kid pulls thru

boxing at the end of the day is about who can give who the most brain damage.. punches to the head, no matter how great your chin, rock your brain. but they know what they sign up for and we as fans know what we watch.

I'm wishing Colon the best.
