BREAKING NEWS: FILIPINO FIGHTER DIES IN THAILAND!


PhilBoxing.com


Filipino boxer Lito Sisnorio has died in a Bangkok hospital following his fourth-round knockout loss at the hands of Chatchai Sasakul last Friday in Thailand.

Bangkok-based journalist Scott Mallon, in a report to this writer, said Sisnorio died at the Piyamin Hospital in Bangpli District, Samutprakarn, Thailand due to 'bleeding on the brain' following the fight.

Reports coming out of Thailand indicate that Sisnorio was dropped by several consecutive right hooks to the head and was counted out, going back to his corner visibly groggy.

He had severe vomiting after the fight, so organizers led by promoter Virat Vachiraratanawong brought him to the hospital where doctors quickly decided to conduct brain surgery. He passed away at around 2AM today.

"I?m deeply saddened by Sisnorio?s death. He was a tough little guy who always fought hard ? and he was so young. All my past words scolding the Thais for their ridiculous mismatches have now reared their ugly head," said Mallon in an email.

"I don?t know whether or not Sisnorio stayed in Thailand after he lost to Wonjongkam but since when is GAB clearance ever needed by a Thai promoter? You and me both know the promoters could care less whether or not he had clearance. Some major reform is needed in Thailand but I wouldn?t count on it happening," added Mallon, who has been at the forefront of calls for boxing reforms in Thailand, especially concerning mismatches.

Insiders have informed that Sisnorio was flown out of the country without passing through the Games and Amusements Board (GAB), the agency tasked to regulate pro boxing in the country.

The GAB has been having problems controlling unscrupulous matchmakers who are virtually practising human trafficking for fights abroad.
