"When and how this replacement of opponent was made isn´t known but it appears to be a fact that Stanchov used Velichkov´s license and thus also his permission to fight and then also his medical records - which means that Stanchov´s medical condition was unknown as he stepped into the ring in Shkoder, Albania on Saturday night in what could be a major scandal."

Holy ****! how bad must the regulations be that this was allowed to happen

Well I'll be damned.....

Incredibly lax admin. But earlier point stands: so this guy dies in the ring and the next 2 fights carried on just as if nothing had happened. That is really messed up.

Isus has blood in his hands .
A really bad decision.

[Vodkaholic]

Thats insane. The guy must of really wanted to be a fighter but couldn't get medically cleared.

A lot of people need to be held accountable...

[arraamis]

Is anybody paying attention out there ......

No oversight, no regulation and no rigid organizational structure causes this kind of sh!t to happen.

WTF is boxing coming to ......

If boxing makes it another 30 years, I feel like we'll be able to look back and tell insane stories about how poorly it was run.
