Don’t just say RIP tho, ask yourselves, how can boxing, and boxers change? And lessen injuries? Style of fighting, head gear?

Do we make an organization like UFC?

Oh well let’s get back to slug slug slug no defense no movement

RIP young man

It would seem this one could've been avoided if someone had realized the headaches as a sign of trouble. I had a friend die from brain hemorrhage, in his 30s, so my friends and I will be more alert to it happening, but the average fighter just doesn't pay enough attention to warning signs. Warrior mentality is bad news sometimes.
