Franky Leal is dead because boxing fans and the boxing industry are hypocrites. I am. Even as I sit here cursing the sport that let an innocent man die for the amusement of others, I know my disgust will pass, my love for the sport will return, and I'll be eagerly waiting to plop down $65 to watch Manny Pacquiao fight next month. Manny Pacquiao. The guy whose last fight ended in a horrifying knockout.

I recalled him being taken out on a stretcher from reading about this incident and was shocked at how he could possibly have been allowed to fight again. Then again Jermaine Taylor was allowed to fight again. Dangerous stuff.
