This might have hurt boxings credibility if the sport was still relevant.

Not the place for such immaturity.

Sad that a young life was cut short. It's a reminder of how gruesome the sport we love can be.

Hope his family is able to find peace.

Man, boxing is serious. RIP.

A little point on sparring. I hear a lot about guys getting hurt doing sparring, obviously life affecting injuries are are but they do occur...which leads me to a simple question, why do these fighters and their trainers not regulate their sparring sessions? Fighters who know how to train also know how to regulate that. You shouldnt be getting into a tear up every time, heck you shouldnt even be getting into a tear up. Sparring is there to work on tactics and plaster over your weaknesses.

I remember training at West Ham ABC and while sparring, if two guys got too carried away, our coaches would tell them to step out of the ring and cool down. If it happened too many times, they'd be banned. A real coach knows how to handle sparring.

May he R.I.P.

Concussion protocols are just as important in boxing, if not more important.

It is what it is, you know what you're getting into.

That's something that guy that wants to build a wall(and throw you over it)l would say.
