According to a story posted on ESPN.com, the suit was filed in the District of Columbia on Wednesday against Dr. Richard Ashby and co-promoters Head****ers Boxing and DiBella Entertainment to help pay for the extremely expensive care Colon requires.

Unfortunately, a sore head is a consequence of being in a sport where you're getting punched in the head.

If the Doc or Promoter is found to be liable for any of this, we may as well abolish the sport entirely. No fight would ever go 12.

No one forced this guy to go back out there. He, and his corner, are plenty capable of making the decision to stop the fight.

I blame the ref the most.
