Sad to hear this kind of news specially for boxing fans. He is still young and who knows maybe he can become a champion in the future.

And it just show how brutal this sports is and every time this boxer fights, their lives is on the line For sure the one that knock him out Jose Munoz will be affected for the rest of his life and I have a feeling that he might quit boxing for good because of this unfortunate incident.

Accident happens in the ring, sadly this case is one of it.  I feel sorry to the boxer who caused the death of his fellow boxer since, as you said, it will affect his life and career.  Hopefully, Munoz can move on from this incident.

All boxers know that when they enter the ring, they have one foot in the grave. It is a brutal sport. That is why they have licenses, not just because their hands are lethal weapons, but also to make sure they are fit to enter the ring. I do not think Munoz should blame himself for the death of his opponent. It could have easily happened to him also. Conditioning is very important in this sport since a knockout could also mean your death. Without proper conditioning, the body cannot endure all that blows to the body and the head.
