  1. This kid needed medical help sooner, it could have saved his life, he had brain bleeds while he was told to fight on. Come on anyone can Dee that kid was in serious trouble . The doctor and the ref were to blame for this death of a young man, they left the care he needed too late.👎👎😱😱😱👎👎👎👎👎

  2. That ref needs struck off, disgraceful, and what was that doctor doing ? ? and his corner man couldn't care less. What a tragic and avoidable scenario. All 3 of these people should never be near a ring again, they should have been jailed for gross negligence. RIP Dennis.

  3. Ngl I kind of teared up a bit watching this video and knowing how badly those so called "professionals" failed that young man. Anybody with eyes and a brain can see he's not okay by the end of round 2. I would have stopped the fight then and there. But he was still at least defending himself. But any real pro would have stopped the fight within the first few seconds of round 3. His arms are dropped, he's not defending himself and he's staggering. Doctor was too busy on his phone, ref wasn't even paying attention, and his coach was literally propping him up like Weekend At Bernie's…just sad. Didn't have to happen.

  4. This is outright murder and why I think anyone who pushes someone after they clearly show signs of injury or unusual weakness, the result of neuro-shit-typicals using toxic patriarchy to justify murdering this poor kid! I would take every parent that beats their kids for not getting straight A’s, every coach who over pushes anyone at any age with no shame in how serious harm they cause mental, emotional and bodily and I would lock them all in a massive volt with 50bmg rated bullet proof glass and one by one I would take each of them and in front of the glass, gouge their lungs out with a hunting knife and cut doors in to their backs so I could very carefully take out their back lungs, then I would nail them to a cross, spread their lungs out on each arm of the cross with their limbs and nail them by the thick fleshy parts so they could still breathe while they hang on that cross till fucking death with NO FUCKING BREAKS ALL THE WAY TO THE HELL THEY BELONG! Demons deserve what they dish, infinite pain back!!!!!

  5. Referee for 4 decades my ass. That is the worst referee I’ve seen in the history of referees. This is such a shitty organized fight. You can def tell something is wrong w the guy just by looking at how he moves. I hope they individually got sued

  6. This is so Pathetic they call them selves professional and that they’ve been helping boxers for years and they lack in every aspect that they said they were “professional” in. This is so heartbreaking to see another young person dies from neglect…😢

  7. This is so sad. There are no words to describe the tragedy. Those who should have been doing their jobs should have had their jobs and licences taken from them, and be charged for negligent homicide.
