A fight promoter says Mexican featherweight boxer Oscar ''Fantasma'' Gonzalez has died after being knocked out in the 10th round of a bout Saturday.

Make no mistake, the Knockout "Game" is deadly serious attempted murder, as this death of a properly conditioned and trained professional boxer shows. An unsuspecting stranger who's surprised and sucker punched into instant unconsciousness has none of the training and preparation this fighter had and is far more at risk than he was. The Mahdi, by not having DOJ move decisively against this abomination and supporting the persecution of George Zimmerman, was and is deliberately condoning and encouraging this subhuman, racist, criminal behavior by hundreds of black thugs. He should be impeached for that alone.

Probably nicknaming himself “Fastasma” (”Ghost”, no?) was a bad idea.

What does the article have to do with the “knockout game?” This is about professional boxing. Not everything is political or racists.

Not likely to get him an invitation to join Mensa.

It shows that even a well trained, fully conditioned athlete can be killed by a knockout punch, even one he’s been trained to expect and deal with. Thus, any such punch thrown at an unsuspecting stranger that lands unexpectedly can easily kill that stranger, meaning anybody who participates in the Knockout “Game” is a wannabe murderer and ought to be prosecuted for attempted murder.

“It shows that even a well trained, fully conditioned athlete can be killed by a knockout punch”

Exactly

“It shows that even a well trained, fully conditioned athlete can be killed by a knockout punch”

There are people who argue otherwise? He was also hit much more than once in the 10th round.

Lord, receive the soul of Oscar Gonzalez, and console in Your ways the conscience of Jesus Galicia.

The gamers are using a new technique, to increase ‘effectiveness’. They are carrying a pipe in their long sleeve of the striking arm. Eric the racist holder wants US to allow a first blow and perhaps even a second, before clarifying the gamer as assaulter.

It’s an example of why I dislike boxing and won’t watch.

It ain’t like the epic fight between John Wayne and Victor McLagen in “The Quiet Man”. They punch the heck out of each other (supposedly) yet no one is even bleeding at the finish.

Seen Muhammad Ali lately ?

Yah, he’s among the spirit world now
