    Yoi-sam lost conciousness after winning bout. Even if he survives, won't be able to resume boxing career.

    This has to be one of the top five lines of the SJ year.

    I once covered a fight where a guy died five days later. I was sitting next to the ringside phsyician. A few minutes fater the fight was over (it was a draw) somebody told her to go into the guy's dressing room. He collapsed. A few minutes later, I saw the EMTs sprinting out of the dressing room with the guy on a stretcher.
    The hospital was right across the street from the arena, but it didn't make a difference.
    It was a long time before I could even watch boxing on TV after that.
