Yeah these things happen all the time, there just isnt normally a news article about it.

Now with the two deaths, maybe that is the new thing. Maybe tomorrow someone gets a twisted ankle and it will be on the front page.

Sparring ?!?!?

This is a blessing. He now knows boxing isn't for him.

Well wishes and all

Yeah sounds like a blot clot in the brain. Then on top of that he has some kind of liver problems. I hope he can find a different line of work. You never know though in mexico the doctors will let guys fight when they wouldnt in the US.

It doesn't appear the 3 guys he fought did the damage to him.

I truly believe this is life telling him to pick another profession.

Trainers have to know, the battle isn't in training camp. No need to be 20 miles and 50 rounds a day.

Very sad.......

Exactly! I really don't think BoxingScene is intentionally looking for situations such as these but this story is newsworthy.

More hits to the head are taken in sparring than real fights, the accumulation is not good, many sparing sessions are wars.

Very true. Lots of gym wars go beyond the true intentions. Some people don’t understand. It’s not right to shame someone’s body/head bc something happened in sparring, that’s like saying you can’t believe someone hurt their hand bc it’s just sparring.
Get well Young One
