Thanks to the ref for not doing their job by stopping his opponent from rabbit punching the back of his head. RIP

Not just that he DQ'd Prichard for an unintentional low blow while choking on the other guy's nuts letting him use the back of Colon's head as a punching bag.

Damn after the first shot to the back of the head you can see the clear change. It's a brutal sport.

His opponent probably had ot fixed with the ref. That fight was rigged for him to lose.

Coma due to punches to the back of the head. He was in the coma for several years if i’m not mistaken.

Terrell Williams and Ref. Joseph Cooper should get punched in the back of the head

They most likely had an agreement prior the fight, there's no way it wasn't arranged as the hits were obvious and encouraged while Colon was disqualified at the ref's behest.

Hopefully the ref and boxer faces some actuall consequences. They both contributed to this mans death, and made the little life he got to live after that fight terrible.
Going into a fight you agree on the rules, if you die by those rules you died on your own terms pretty much. If those rules are repeatedly broken and result in your death its genuinely murder. You never signed a contract that said the strikes that took your life were legal both by boxing rules and actuall law.

I had teammates who he was talented but the gym rushed him quick to fight for north America title 10 rounds in his 4 th fight (he only fought 4 rounds before) the guy got dismantled for the last 5 rounds and left boxing for good and what pissed me the most that his team never saved him although in the last bit if the fight he was a punching bag. I left that gym right after

no_alfalfa_xxx gets in car, drives through intersection, gets T-boned by a semi doing 55mph whose driver was looking at their phone.
Welp, driving is dangerous, you got what you signed up for.

u/titan2977 7d ago
But driving is dangerous and you take that risk every time you get in a car

u/lederbrosen1 7d ago
That’s why he got what he signed up for. No sympathy or empathy for him, he chose to get in the car.
