Anyone catch the IBF lightweight boxing world title last weekend? Good fight--Leavander Johnson went down in round 11. Unfortunately, the fight bruised his brain that he died in the hospital on Thursday. Those lightweight titles are pretty rough sometimes--another boxer, a super lightweight, died in July.

I guess boxing's a pretty rough sport sometimes...

Dang. That's some serious punching.

I haven't been watching boxing recently. That's a shame he died though.

He was doing alright until he took a flurry of blows in the 11th round. He walked around the ring fine after going down but collapsed on the way back to his locker room.
