Death in the Ring!

There are people who dream of fighting, without ever realizing the risks this sport runs towards your health.  In 2010 when I made my debut for the NEOFIGHT promotion in South Korea, I had heard the story of the death in Gimme 5 where one of the fighters suffered a brain hemorrhaging after the fight that led to his death.

below is a video breakdown of the recent death in the Milwaukee kickboxing scene, which really highlights the dangers of fighting and the need to have a cornerman/ref who is looking out primarily for the fighter’s safety.

‘He’s too tough for his own good–‘  The problem when people treat the fight game as routine, or forget that its always better to live to fight another day.
