Really sad week for the sport. Two young men lose their lives and it looks like another has been cheating. RIP.

**** man, something is going to have to be done eventually. What that is I don't know but these young dudes can't go on being killed.

Hugo Santillán, another fighter that died this week

the fight happened in argentina this past weekend, i wasn't watching, 'cause obviously i was watching the pacman fight.

here is a highlight of the fight



his father is the one holding him up, they waited till they read the three cards. you can see he was clearly hurt and out of it.

just a month before, he fought and lost in germany. he was only 23 years old.

terrible weekend for boxing

Yeah I just posted a video on my channel saying that about this unfortunate incident. I mentioned that some kind of rule might be brought up in the sport about this man.

RIP Hugo Santillan.

This is not a good look, that was only a 10 round fight and he suffered kidney failure and brain swelling.

Boxing is going to come under some intense scrutiny after two deaths in 2 days. Especially since they’re both being reported by big companies like ESPN, CBS and TMZ Sports.

After watching a clip, it was clear he should've been taken out of the ring once the fight was over. Dude was completely hunched over as the cards were being read. Wtf are these officials doing when it's clear the guy is having issues.

i just started a thread about this too. it sucks, he was only 23. awful weekend for boxing.

what caught my attention was the fact that he was passing out while the score cards where being read and his trainer (his father) was holding him up so he could listen to them, instead of taking him out of the ring to get him checked out
