Fights where both boxers were 'ruined' ?

I believe he got arrested with long time featherweight contender Jose caba.Wow, nice story, I also did a lot of facts finds about this fight from years ago, Kid akeem never could come to terms with his injuries or the neurosurgeon recommendations, he and his wife sharon self discharge him. He had his licence taken away, even though he swear he was fine etc But he has swellings in the brain.
He was then scrapping for money to feed his young two wons (Doesn't one of them (Akeem jr) play football in america now? Last time i checked). Which lead to him dabbling in selling drugs in Vegas, getting caught and deported to Nigeria.
It was whilst in Nigeria that he had two or three fights, collapse after one of the fights in the shower and passed away from there. He definitely had a couple of fights from my research.
Even sad was Roberto's own demons and him getting shot later on.Comment

I don't think you guys know what the word "ruined" means.
You guys are naming guys who continued to win titles and huge fights afterwards.
Now, the Gatti/Ward trilogy left both of them with horrific damage.
Castillo/Corrales is another one where I think both guys weren't the same afterwardsComment

it was a different eye vs postol i think. lucas complained about a head-butt a round or two before the KO. lucas career ending was weird. he proved to be a warrior vs garcia, molina jr and provo yet he quit vs postol who imo a prime lucas (or a semi decent lucas) should've beaten to a pulp. and then again vs manny showing up like crap.Comment
