A South Korean boxer who lost consciousness after winning an WBO intercontinental flyweight bout last week has been declared brain dead.Choi Yoi-sam was declared brain dead Wednesday after a series of brain tests, said Ko Seung-kwan, a spokesman at Asan Medical Center. Choi had been in a coma since shortly after winning the fight against Indonesian challenger Heri Amol in Seoul on Dec. 25.
In 1982, South Korean lightweight Duk Koo Kim died four days after being knocked out by Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini in a title fight in Las Vegas. Another South Korean fighter, bantamweight Lee Tong-choon, died of acute swelling of the brain in 1995, four days after losing consciousness following a fight against Setsuo Kawamasu in Tokyo.
Wow, at least he won the fight. I'd hate to see what happened to the other guy. ZING! Seriously folks, that sucks. South Korean's should stay out of the ring. It should be illegal to wear boxing gloves in Seoul. The only way to celebrate Choi Yoi-sam's life is to put up a pic of some South Korean hottie. I think a Japanese chick would be more interesting. All I know is that the weird porn comes from Japan. Sick bastards.
