I blame the fans and the commissions... they don't care about steroids or dirty fighting - they gave Salido, Mosley, Peterson, etc. a break when it came to steroids and they gave Ward a pass with the dirty fighting, and now someone died fighting a known steroid cheat and DIRTY FIGHTER without any serious testing in a crooked country with a crooked commission and crooked referees...

Latina America is fked and totally a corrupt failed communist/socialist society.

What happened to let the commission do their job?

I get what your saying man but no point blaming anyone now. It's a ****ed up situation. He was too young and definitely didn't deserve to die.
But your totally right. Boxing is a corrupt sport but not only in Latin America. They give passes here in the United States too! It's ****ing bullshet! Boxing needs some type of organized commission and they need to set an example out of a dirty mother****er and ban him for life for a failed drug test. Something has to be done with all these ****ing cheaters!

Very sad, maybe there is a risk in every sport, but boxing is still so dangerous in that one moment you're young and full of life and one punch later tragedy can strike. Everyone who gets in the ring has courage, it has consequences, unlike being an Internet tough guy.

Protect yourself at all times. Nothing cool about getting hit -Floyd

It’s boxing, severe head trauma can happen with one punch. Swelling, clots, it’s the nature of combat sports. PAC could’ve died too running into that massive right hand. Why do you think he didn’t lunge as much after that with any opponent.

Its also dangerous to fall asleep after any concussion. Could’ve been that they thought he was fine and missed something.

RIP. Poor kid

Really unfortunate situation, RIP. Glad to see the WBA covering the funeral cost and offering financial support to the family.
