That's the life in boxing and boxers already knows that risks.

If they end up in death, it doesn't mean they are not careful but it's just unfortunate that it really happened.

That's why I hope that no boxer from now will meet their death at the ring although it's impossible.

The medical team also plays a big part in the safety of the boxer.  Those first aiders, the presence of an ambulance, and the decision of the referee to stop the fight if ever they see the boxer in an unfavorable situation.  Many blame referees for the early stoppage but I commend them because they are knowledgeable enough to stop a possible disaster to happen.  There are lots of cases in early boxing history that due to the negligence of the referee, many boxers suffer a devastating injury that either take a boxer's life or made a boxer have an early career retirement.

Yes, and look what he has gotten him in taking advantage of a Youtuber/boxer or an MMA/boxer to fight him in a boxing rule fight, he will surely win the fight, and the purposed of it was just money and entertaining himself, Well he will not surely take a boxer to fight him anymore so that Manny Pacquiao fight is really out of the picture,

All information was from TAPOLOGY

He is just trying to take advantage of the opportunity while he's still famous and known because sooner or later, he will be forgotten and become an old news even if he got an undefeated record during his professional days. And now that he said that he's already done fighting a true fighter, I expect that he won't be fighting McGregor as well because if he accept that fight and rejected the idea to have an exhibition fight with Pacquiao, I will be convinced that he's just trying to duck the Filipino legend, AGAIN!

That's why the percentage of ring accidents and serious injuries before are higher. It's a good thing that after all those years, the organization has focused on wellness and fairness of the game so their players won't face a higher risk. We can't deny the fact that weight has a huge impact on the gameplay result so it should be fair from the beginning to make sure that the whole match would flow smoothly.

Which is really a concern that being address, way back they are just bringing the fighter in and let them showcase their fighting
skills regardless of if they've got same weight.

On that note, the danger on the opposing side is high so they segregate the divisions and let the same class to fight each other
and if they wanted to move up, there's a required requirements to meet.

The organization are really concerned to lessen the chance of accident that may take place if the rules will not be implemented properly.

That only shows that boxing is not for all, the sports may give you a lot of money but first you need to go through risky fights that could possibly end your life in an instant or make you disabled for the rest of your whole life. Boxing or any combat sports are always dangerous even if the respective industries put some rules on it to lessen the chances, still, it cannot take away the fact that fighters are still vulnerable with such accidents. Every time we discuss these kind of situations, I can't help but think about these two boxers, Z Gorres and Prichard Colon. Both boxers that I've mentioned is now disabled.

Of course you don't have to take it literally that the die inside the ring. But most likely they have been damage already that the moment medical personnel is called, they could have been bleeding inside or there is blood clot already.

Risk is there, maybe this is one case of freak accident, that he was literally hit so hard that he got brain trauma from the amount of punches he received in that fight. Muhammad Ali is another good case, he didn't die in the ring, but we can surely see the ill effects on him.

Their conditioning is crucial and also the weigh-in is carefully checked because the overweight can throw harder punches to hurt their opponent and can be fatal as what has happened in the last decades when they don't really care about their body weight back then. Right now they are extra careful and they even cut the maximum rounds to 12 to minimize the risk of unnecessary accidents. Furthermore, the boxers are aware when their opponents are not competitive when they hurt them so much and some of them ask the referee to stop the fight.

Did he literally died inside the ring? I mean dead on the spot?
AFAIK, boxers or fighters from different types of combat sports don't really die inside the ring, but will brought to the hospital first and then eventually die.
Fighters however already knew this might happen to them, especially when they're hit somewhere that'll put them in a comatose state.
If luckily they survive the heavy punishment all throughout their fighting career. Side effects will eventually surface once they're getting older and older.

Standing count and the 12 rounds, because of Kims dead, WBC was the first to implement it after that, the other body follow as well.

It was really a big impact on the boxing world, Mancini continue to fight after that, but there are many observers who says that he lost his killer instinct and doesn't want to go for the knockout anymore.

And for Pinoys, there are also death on that list as well. But at least in recent years, the number of deaths have been reduced thanks to 12 rounds and also referee making the right decision to stop the fight when they see that something is wrong.

Yes, it will may happen as an accident is always behind, but it's good to know that they put something to lesser the chance of repeating that kind of situation and with how the ref judge things during the fight. Everything will be in his hands while two fighters are exchanging solid blow. If he mistakenly judges his call, there might be danger from both ends.

It's just a kind of good judgement in terms of making the decisions. All will remain safe till the fight is guarded properly.

True, but boxers who enter this game have to be aware of the risk, and he has to accept the risk. That's why they need to have the right training so they will be 100% ready and they can take the punches from their opponent. Referee has a big role in boxing, they have to make sure that they are doing their job well to protect the boxers and to make it a clean fight.

The rules have been adopted a lot too to protect the boxers.

I think in the 60's they are allowed to slug it out until one of them drops but these days, when the referee sees that the fight is already one-sided and one player cannot defend itself anymore, it will be stopped and declared TKO. I think the Standing Count rule was introduced because of the death of Kim Duk-Koo.

There is lesser death these days but unfortunately, it may still happen because of the nature of this sport. 

So I try to research about deaths of boxer inside the ring,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deaths_due_to_injuries_sustained_in_boxing

And i guess this is what the rounds was readjusted in the 80's. Before boxers fought at 15 brutal rounds but was reduced to the standard that we are using today at 12 rounds.

The infamous fight that comes to my mind is Mancini vs Duk Koo Kim who collapsed in the ring and die. Then after several months the one that referee the fight committed suicide and so is Kim's mother. And it still haunts Mancini up to this day.

All boxers know that when they enter the ring, they have one foot in the grave. It is a brutal sport. That is why they have licenses, not just because their hands are lethal weapons, but also to make sure they are fit to enter the ring. I do not think Munoz should blame himself for the death of his opponent. It could have easily happened to him also. Conditioning is very important in this sport since a knockout could also mean your death. Without proper conditioning, the body cannot endure all that blows to the body and the head.

Accident happens in the ring, sadly this case is one of it.  I feel sorry to the boxer who caused the death of his fellow boxer since, as you said, it will affect his life and career.  Hopefully, Munoz can move on from this incident.


It looks like Floyd is enjoying his exhibition matches, less risk bigger reward.  And he doesn't need too much dedication to the gym to shape up. Since the result may probably scripted too 

Well I am one of the people who think that Manny lost only because he did not have enough preparation and therefore he did not prepare himself properly, for me that if Manny had not accepted the Mayweather fight, the fighter would currently be unstoppable, for me His entire decline was from that fight, which was arranged for me, so whatever you think and whatever you say, the fight was won by Mayweather because there was a lot of money involved, because a boxer goes with another to fight, to box, not to run in the ring, and I think that if they put on that fight right now, PACQUIAO would win easily, and obviously if Pacquiao wasn't letting himself be captivated by politics.


We all know how cunning Floyd Mayweather is, and if he goes after a Japanese, he will, with the $20 million. where the real millions of dollars are earned, another thing is that we do not have access to that type of information, that is why Mayweather is very involved in business, and takes advantage of the fact that he has gained a lot of experience, the fact that he is traveling to all No It is because he is wasting his time in those countries, there are many businesses that he is looking for, I don't blame him, he developed a great business model for his benefit and at the same time he frees himself from taxes by doing exhibition fights, the truth is that he is very astute.

Same here, I'm really curious about that as well. Maybe $20 Million is nothing for them compared to their total earnings from that fight because as far as I know, Japan is also a huge fan when it comes to boxing and bringing a legend to Japan will generate hundreds of millions. Anyway, Mayweather has earned $30 Million for the fight because he won and PPV sales are not included in that yet.

I won't be surprised if that bout will happen next year or in December this year, both camps will earn millions again and honestly, they wouldn't let this fight slide as long as the people wanted it.

He should be careful tho because he might find an Otsutsuki in his quest instead of Naruto

Unfortunately, this kind of accident really happen in boxing and yes, they know the risk involved when they go inside the ring and punch each other out that they can either be killed in the ring.

I do agree that it's brutal in a sense, just like any contact sports. As for Floyd, for sure he didn't see that this kind of exhibitions will be a big hit, and so he is capitalizing on it while sports fans are willing to pay the price. Nevertheless, he has build enormous wealth already so even if he retires, he will still live comfortably and thanks to his talent.
