[BlackSoul]

with knowing the risk of this deadly sport. this is a prime example why idot boxing fans need to stop crying about a fighter being over paid. nobody wants to be in this position or die. i'm wishing P. Colon a full recovery

these "fans" dont give **** about NONE of that they dont have to put their bodies through strenuous erosion daily they dont have to risk their health AND their lives and livelihood for entertainment, but in their real lives they complain how "****ty their jobs is and how they're underpaid but when boxers who actually can come concussed on top of MANY thangs they critique fighters for wantin' the $ these "fans" are ****** as **** and reason will not allow them to take a step back and analyze

Great Stuff!

Respect to Trinidad and still Praying for Prichard Colon, look forward to hearing the great news that he is out of his Coma and Recovering

I Remember when this initially happened, I was heart broken by the story. cant believe it was already 3 months ago, I'm shamed to admit it slipped from my mind. Good to see Tito visiting Prichard in the hospital, I will pray for Prichard tonight.

Let's hope that Tito's visit brought some glimmer of hope into Prichard's future.
The worst thing about this whole situation is that it was entirely preventable. Professional boxers should not have to worry that the ref may not be looking after their health and best interests.

On the eve of his 43rd birthday, former three division world champion Felix 'Tito' Trinidad made a special visit in Atlanta.

The 'people's champion' of Puerto Rico made a surprise to visit to Prichard Colón, the young welterweight who has been in a coma since last October after losing a fight against Terrell Williams in ******ia.

Tito Trinidad is and ALWAYS has been a class act. There's a reason fans all over LOVE this guy! (Miguel Cotto should take notes...) On behalf of my family, I would like to wish Pritchard Colón a "world" of health and a full recovery. Soooo sad that something like this has to happen to anyone but, it is what it is... the price to pay for fame and riches is not cheap.

Great post, hoping Colon is able to recover and regain some portion of his life.

It made me sad to read that he tried to move his head when he heard Tito's voice and tried to talk to him.

Yet at the same time maybe that gives some hope that he can recover eventually.

Shame to hear that Colon is still in that sort of shape, I remember that fight it was certainly rough and he took a couple big rabbit punches but it just never seemed that bad. Stepping through those ropes you just never know if something terrible will happen.

Props to Tito for taking the time out to go and do that though, certainly a classy move.

**** is crazy how you can go from a bright star, an up and coming prospect, to bed ridden and unable to speak. This sport is brutal, and its consequences are real.
