Sad news out of Mexico today, as 23-year old Marco Antonio "Texano" Nazareth passed away from complications after his fight with Omar Chavez.
The 23-year-old Nazareth was hospitalized after the fight, in which Nazareth was knocked down in the first round and knocked out in the fourth.
Nazareth underwent surgery after the fight, but his condition steadily worsened. His professional record was four victories -- three by knockout -- and four losses.
Rest in peace, Marco.

i dont’ think he was from texas.
i saw this on box azteca btw. it was pretty reminiscent of the oscar diaz incident from one year ago. iirc after he was KO’d, they did the whole “and the winner by TKO” without incident. It wasn’t until they came back from commercials that he was being taken away on a stretcher.
awful stuff
