RIP Francisco Leal


Just read Dan Rafael's post on Francisco Leal's passing due to brain injury after being stopped in a fight against Raul Hirales over the weekend. Leal was taken out on a stretcher last year after being knocked out by Evgeny Gradovich, and according to reports was getting beat up during this fight (including a knockdown). Here is a post that includes an embedded video of the fight. Having seen the stoppage and aftermath, I must warn that it is a tough watch: you will witness Leal's brain gradually giving out as he appears to just fall into a coma while slumped in the corner. I'm not sure if I will forget the look on his face, frankly. Rest in peace.
