These fighters know what can happen inside that ring...Adonis was fully aware of it. It's sad ofc but let's not pretend like this is happening because of the fans. Alot of people on here actually advised Adonis to retire. It's a risk he took by stepping in the Ring at 40 years old.

Nobody force Stevenson to fight it was all his choice and rember when he was knocking out guys he didn't give a dam about there health but he got knock the hell out and paid a big price THAT WAS ALL ON HIM Stevenson took the gamble for money and fame and lost he will never be the same wont be surprise if he dies .
I remember him doing a backflip out of joy while his opponent was lying on the canvas completely iced once....some people called him a POS for doing that. I dont remember what fighter was though
anyway, this is terrible news but to quote mexican champion Lupe Pintor after he KILLED that Owen dude from UK...
¨What happened is very sad and regrettable, but it's a risk every one of us takes everytime we get in the ring¨

The fans didn’t force them into doing this. It was a personal choice.
Look, what has happened to that pimp boxer Stevenson is unfortunate but it’s not the fans fault.
If these fighters want to make millions they have to fight the fights that interest the fans. It’s a choice they make not a choice the fans make for them.
