I heard a report on the news this weekend about about a boxing match held in some city in Utah where one of the boxers died in the ring from heart failure. They were interviewing the man who owned the venue and he basically said that when it's your time to go you don't have a choice, that this boxer could have just as well died on the car ride over to the arena.

I bet he wouldnt have died if he didnt participate in that boxing match.

I read about that case too.

He was very devoted to his mother who died the day before and his coach did not want him to fight. But he was a professional boxer so the coach cleared him and he soon took a shot in the ribs which put him down.

It looks to me like the poor fellow just gave up.

Come on Yahweh, have a little compassion.

You know that has to be hard on the family loosing a mother and a brother within 24 hours of each other.

Specifically, he was trying to raise money for her funeral. Sad, but beautifully ironic.

I'll probably die in a similar way, but instead raising money to pay off lawsuits against me.
