Super feather Daniel Aguillon and top Mexican prospect Alejandro Sanabrio were the main event in Mexico City's card on Oct 15th, he was declared brain dead and passed away on the 18th. He was 24 years old with a wife and 2 children. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aKO1BPIH-I http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wl2_eiGDpTM My prayers and thoughts go out to the family of this fallen warrior ray:
Sorry to hear that, but in boxing, that's business. Aguillon was trying to kill him as well, and that is why professional boxing is the toughest racket in the world to make a buck at.
True Free,.. I think we all should conceed,.. that there are too many deaths in boxing below 140lbs,...it's time to do something, and ban these divisions to save lives.
RIP brutal clip there...his reaction to that punch.....didnt even seem like a big punch was it just that punch in the 12th round that did it? or was he taking alot of shots throughout the fight?
I didn't watch the fight. I might look for it later on youtube. From all accounts it was back and forth and close on the cards. Looking at boxrec it says Sanabria was down in the 4th, and Aguillon down in the 1st and 12th round.

Thanks dsimon, that is exactly what I meant. Everyone needs to remember what Sugar Ray Robinson said to a reporter after the fatal Jimmy Doyle fight when Ray killed him. The reporter asked Ray.."Did you mean to hurt Doyle?" Ray's famous reply was "Mister, I'm in a hurting business!"
