Isis Sio, 19-year old female boxer, in a coma

Isis Sio, 19-year-old female boxer, placed in medically induced coma after first-round knockout | Sporting News

Just saw this on Facebook, and it’s very sad. Sadder still that I saw the clip of the knockout. Then I read that this girl had been coming from a knockout loss on Jan 30th. Lots of blame to go around. First of all, it’s tough to see a 19-year old girl getting the crap beaten out of her. My first thought is about her parents. Surely they must be devastated at seeing their daughter being beaten into a medically-induced coma. Tragic. But beyond that… how about the boxing authorities?? (as usual). Where is the common sense in all this?
