Another Fallen Warrior.

We are sad to inform the fight community that Texas boxer Benjamin Flores (19-4, 6 KOs) passed away this morning. Flores was hospitalized following his NABF super bantamweight title fight in Dallas, against Al Seeger last Thursday. Seeger was awarded the TKO win in the eighth, and Flores was helped to his stool. Soon after, he was taken out on a stretcher, unconscious, to Parkland Hospital where he died five days later. Flores also fought in a 2008 fight against Vernie Torres, on the Margarito vs. Cotto undercard in Las Vegas.
RIP.

Get your facts right.
DG has a ritual before EVERY FIGHT.
I pray no one gets hurt -good even fight and my fighter wins.
Get your facts right.
Once I knew Hatton was ok, I celebrated.
Do you have the same 'ritual'?
Oh, lets see, you oil your body up and then prance around in your leather chaps while listening to Frankie Goes To Hollywod 'Relax'?
Yes, that sounds about right.

I show huge reqpect to the fallen fighter and his family - huge
My point being you have trolled on loads of threads re-joicing in how Hatton got ICED, STRETCHED ETC ETC
I am sure you have then at some point posted a picture with Hatton lying prone on the canvas with some witty (in your world) comment next to it yet come on here and try and play the nice guy etc etc - if you can't see the irony then your thicker than we all thought.
You say its ok to take the mick once you know the fighter is ok?? - how do you know Hatton won't suffer complications from the KO he received on Saturday.
You can't have it both ways

Respects to you dude, one of the rare hazards of boxing. Sorry it had to happen, I hate it when it does but part of me knows there's always that risk for those who step into the ring.
Regards to his family.

Why???
Your the big fella when it comes to discussing Hatton - bla bla bla bla bla he got stretched, look how funny he looks stretched on the canvas bla bla bla bla yet try and play the nice guy when it suits.
Listen if you want to discuss it then do so on here in the open, I am happy with my stance here and think I have highlighted your stupidity and double standards.
In your words - will I PM you??
I say No, no no
