It's ****ing angering seeing him hunched over as they're reading the cards. The guy to his left is literally holding him up. He didn't even have the strength to lift his arm after he got the win.

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

This is just horrible news man. Hard to believe that they didn't consider the young warrior while hunched over man. Yeah, the sport will probably be under scrutiny now man.

RIP my latin brother.

RIP to this Argentine Warrior and RIP to the Russian Warrior. Athletes that put it on the line for our entertainment and chose this path to feed themselves and their families.

Very tragic. Sad week for our beautiful sport.

Yeah FUCK all of the fighters that are discovered on PEDS, they need a minimum 3 year ban or more and to an extent fucking jail for murder. That should've included even Canelo and bJS.

This is crazy. What is going on with all these deaths? Rip champ

[_original_]

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

That was hard to watch, brutal and unforgiving sport.

Horrible, RIP.

Not that its a cure nor am I a medical professional but I would suggest to any of you fighters to look into CBD. There are many studies that are showing how CBD lightens the impact of the brain against the skull and some studies show it reduces concussive swelling. This likely wouldn't have helped in this instance but prolonged usage may have.
