Ok this is ****ing ******. Why aren't these guys taken to the hospital after fights to get checked? Why was he allowed to go home and no action was taken until AFTER symptoms were showing.

38 years old, 12-24 record? For gods sakes who let him get in the ring? Praying for him but my god, some people dont belong in a ****ing ring.

Damn. Sounds like a guy too tough for his own good that he walked away from a fight & got home before feeling the full effects of the damage. Or the medical staff on hand for this fight ****** at their job or didn't even fully do their job which might be the real problem idk.

Hope sh^t works out for the best here whatever that might be based on how f#cked up he is. Getting a piece of your skull taken out isn't a good sign that good news will follow.

Are you even watching boxing?!?!?!

This type of guy, & a bunch of them all told, is getting in the ring every week on every continent all year round. And sh^t this isn't even bad matchmaking like it usually is with a 12-24-1 guy fighting a 20-0 guy. This is a 12-24-1 guy fighting a 7-11-2.

The fact he'd been stopped in half his L's is kinda disturbing & always something disturbing with these "opponent" types with a bunch of L's.

For sure there should be some structure at work in pro boxing where you can actually lose yourself out of the sport. I mean if you are a bad enough pro baseball player you will eventually get dropped from a MLB team down to a double A team down to the Mexican league down to a stocking position at Best Buy. In boxing you can lose 2/3's of your fights til your 38 years old like this guy & keep getting paid to box as a professional. That's a problem & ultimately bad for boxing.

But a 12-24 record isnt good at all and it just proves he took punishment with half his losses being KOs. Some people shouldnt be in the ring, period.

Your right, it is bad for boxing. A guy keeps losing and he can still get paid to box, its wrong and dangerous

[The Hammer]

At age 38 having been KOed 12 times, he shouldn't have been fighting.

Prayers for him and his family

Everyone who supports boxing is responsible for this.
