Good on Holm for biding her time for that shot, too. It felt pretty absurd when Goddard had to step in and warn both fighters for timidity, that was not a fight I was expecting to end with a KO.

Saw footage. Dude hit the ground at least four times. Referee hosed up really badly and never called a TKO when one was needed.

First knock down at 01:23.
Second at 02:25.
Third at 03:03.
Fourth at 04:22.
KO blow at 05:25.

It's so screwed up that the most (arguably) dangerous contact sport is run by only the most incompetent athletic commissions. But I also can't figure out why his own corner didn't stop the fight- Hague was clearly outclassed and the fight wasn't going to sway in his favor at any point. The whole situation's just heartbreaking and infuriating to watch.

Like with that kid who died in the kickboxing fight last year, it's genuinely upsetting that the corner, the referee, and the doctor all drop the loving ball. You'd think one of them would give a gently caress. To be fair, this thing is very rare, but there are a few people who should have Hague death weighing on their conscience.

Does boxing have a proportionally higher rate of death than other combat sports? If so, why?

definitely more than mma where theres no standing 8 counts or poo poo like that where guys take prolonged horrible beatings or are knocked out multiple times in one fight

Bethe Correia being knocked out mid-taunt would have been way better if the taunt hadn't been 30 seconds of her going "come at me bro" while Holly Holm bobs up and down outside of punching range, and it would have only been "good" if it hadn't been preceded by two rounds of Bethe trying badly to fight while Holm bobbed up and down just outside of punching range.

Because instead of getting stunned, knocked down, and tko'd like in mma you get repeatedly battered to the brain by a guy with enough padding on his hands to just daze you slightly over and over.

After that occurs for a long time, it's really bad on your brain.

Usually it's the fights that go 10 rounds. Crazy that happened in 2.

The fact that that happened in Canada is hitting really close to home for me. It reminds me of that Roufusport kickboxing vid as well, the ref doesn't notice the affected gait of the athlete and just keeps letting the fight go on.

I think the third knockdown was waved off as a slip which started to really make me upset. I feel terrible for everybody involved.

It was funny/insanely brutal how Bethe put her hand up like "check please" and Holly just dived in Hendo style to make sure she was dead.

She was signalling to the fan-man to get her out of there. Sadly, he's been dead for fifteen years.
