Don't have time lately to post about the 25+ cards i posted Hls about lately but you know where it is at

Any word on how Santillan is now? Perhaps you might want to edit it out "enjoy" .

you're right edited sorry

Surprised there ain't more people totally disgusted with this

it was disgusting indeed... any further news on his current medical condition?

Argentina obviously has great boxing history and tradition but when it comes to medical safety of their fighters it looks like they have become a backward 3rd World country!!

RIP


Worse thing ive seen this sport produce in decades of scrutanizing every single fight i could get my hands on

Argentine boxer Hugo Alfredo "Dinamita" Santillan died Thursday in Buenos Aires of injuries suffered in the ring during Saturday's draw against Uruguayan fighter Eduardo Javier Abreu. He was 23.

Dr. Graciela Olocco from Hospital Agudos San Felipe confirmed the death on Thursday morning to media outlets.

Santillan underwent surgery for a clot in his brain and twice went into cardiorespiratory failure before he died of cardiac arrest at 12:35 a.m. local time Thursday, Olocco said.

Russian boxer Maxim Dadashev died Tuesday after suffering a similar brain injury during Friday's fight in Maryland against Subriel Matias of Puerto Rico. He was 28.

Santillan (19-6-2), a super lightweight, made his pro debut in 2015. Eight of his 19 victories came by knockout. He was the son of fighter Hugo Alfredo Santillan and was from the same region, Santa Fe, as Marcos Rene "Chino" Maidana.

According to ringside reports, Santillan's nose began to bleed in the fourth round and, though he raised his arm in victory after the fight, he passed out as the judges were announcing the draw -- scored 95-95, 93-97 and 96-94 -- against Abreu (10-1-1).

"Upon admission to the hospital, he had successive kidney failure and he did not come out of his coma," Olocco said. "He had swelling of his brain and he never recovered consciousness. The swelling continued to worsen, and it affected the functioning of the rest of his organs."

Absolutely terrible. I hadn't heard about this until this morning, but yes this is horrible. No Doctor there ready to tend to the guy, and why his own people weren't rushing him outta there to a Hospital ASAP I don't know. Just carelessness from all involved here.

RIP Hugo Santillan

What a damn shame.

Dreadful business. I'm reminded of the 'Merthyr Matchstick', Johnny Owen who died after fighting 'Lupe Pintor in Mexico. Allegedly the locals were spitting on him as he was being carried out on a stretcher. Neither are shining examples of man's better nature are they.

I’m echoing others but I have never seen such a shocking scene in a ring. Physically holding up a fighter in obvious distress, this is absolutely unforgivable...

I finally watched it. I wish I didn't. It literally brought tears to my eyes. No one knew what to do. A travesty.

Same here, I watched it three times in a complete state of shock. Absolutely unforgivable. It will be of no comfort to his family but the people involved should lose their licenses, not the other boxer of course, who must be absolutely devastated...

Now the tyc commentator commented to the tweet and said his father was the corner man amd thought he just had low pressure problems
