Hope people remember that Boxing is not a game. When people call boxers cowards for whatever reason then it just shows how ****** they really are! No fighter who steps in a ring to fight is a coward!

There is a pic on the article page, but no name? What was the kids name? What happened exactly?

RIP to the kid either way. Boxing is dangerous & the body can be more fragile then we wanna believe in particular when you're young & you feel indestructible.

Damn. RIP. This is a dangerous sport we follow. Easy to get desensitized to the punches we see, but those are actually landing and actually shaking up brains.
