See, this is exactly the shlt I was talking about that makes me furious. A fighter's safety should be of the utmost importance. When a fighter enters that ring he should be able to exit it the same way he entered it.

Moreover, once a fighter has reached his limit, it is very wise of them to shut it down before tragedies like this can occur. These courageous men put their lives on the line each time they step between that squared circle.

However, you have some boxing fans who've never fought a day in their lives have the audacity to question these fighters heart by calling these brave soldiers/gladiators quitters with no guts. It doesn't prove that one is a man because they are taking an ass whooping in the ring, while slowly losing their lives and livelihoods in the process.

Therefore, Rest in Peace Westgarti on behalf of myself and other boxing fans who share my values on this important topic as our thoughts are prayers go out to your family and those who love you.

Terrible news, hope his family and friends find some peace in this tragic event.

No matter what level of fight it is, any guy who enters a Boxing ring is putting their life on the line and fans of the sport always have to remember that.

It's a difficult one.

At its core, Boxing like all other sports is part of the Entertainment business.

People pay their money and want to be entertained and they also have the right to be critical too...even in a sport where someone could be killed.

Thats the nature of the beast and you can't really change that conflict.
