	Not only did Kim lose his life after that fight, but the lives of many others who were involved were affected too: Mancini had to go through a period of regrouping, as he blamed himself for Kim's death. After friends helped him by telling him that it was just an accident, Mancini was able to go on with his career, but Kim's death would always haunt him. Kim's mother committed suicide in February of 1983, and so did the bout's referee, [[Richard ~~Greene~~]], four months later.

	Many reforms in boxing took place after this fight. The WBC, which was not the fight's sanctioning organization, was the first one to step up and admit, during their annual convention of 1982, that many rules and areas concerning fighter's medical care before fights needed to be changed to improve a fighter's chance of surviving a fight. [[WBC]] president [[Jose Sulaiman]] declared that, immediately after the Mancini-Kim bout, the WBC and their medical advisors had conducted a study that revealed that most fighters get injured more severely during rounds 13, 14 and 15, so the organization immediately decided to reduce the number of rounds in their championship bouts from 15 to 12. The WBA and the [[IBF]] followed the WBC in 1987. When the [[WBO]] was formed in 1988, they immediately began operating with 12 round world championship bouts.
