Mexican boxer Jeanette Zacarias Zapata died days after suffering several blows to the head during a match. Video from the fight showed her falling unconscious and convulsing at the end of the fourth round. She was just 18.
Mexican boxer Jeanette Zacarias Zapata has died at the age of 18, five days after being knocked out in a professional fight.
Zapata was knocked out in the fourth round against Marie Pier Houle on Saturday night at the GVM Gala International in Montreal.
She suffered a series of power punches in the corner of the ring and was stunned by an uppercut towards the end of the fourth round, before a right hook caused her mouthguard to fly out, leaving her unable to return to the corner after the bell rang.
Zapata, who appeared to convulse while still standing, was joined by her partner and trainer Jovanni Martinez, who quickly laid her down in the ring. The on-site medical team rushed to her side and she was immobilized on a stretcher before being rushed to a hospital by ambulance.
Fight promoter Yvon Michel briefed on Sunday that Zapata had been placed in a medically induced coma, and confirmed her death on Thursday.

Wow it's almost like getting repeatedly punched in the face until your brain temporarily cannot support consciousness is not healthy or something

this isn't a brain damage thing. This almost certainly looks like an artery was cut with the break of a bone in either the jaw, neck, or clavicle (kinda just moving down the body so it gets less likely as you go away from the source but torque is still a thing). I don't have an XR or CT of this person, but i would most certainly guess that's what happened here. It even says they went into a coma, which i guess could happen after brain damage, but it can also happen from blood loss or herniation of the brainstem so it's hard to say. Either way, this is a risk you take in pugilistic sports and every fighter and practitioner knows this

I mean it kind of is just look at the injuries boxers get compared to the ones in the ufc I'm not saying that boxing isn't brutal but. That's just what I think

i would argue boxers have way worse injuries when it comes to brain damage and cte mma fighters do get cut more but they are usually superficial.

Regardless which is worse, there's still a ton of CTE in UFC unfortunately. Still enjoy it as a sport but there's a steep cost.

Oh she's having a ball in the clip, no sense denying the obvious. But it's worth remembering that while both fighters expected to be injured, neither expected to be killed outright. It's a unique circumstance compared to most of the murder vids or combat footage found on WPD. And again, I hope that the winner is able to navigate this in a healthy way.

Is the weight class the only thing that matters in setting up these matches - not experience level ?
The other fighter is 33 years old so in theory could have been boxing since before the other girl was even born.
Sad for her family, friends and very likely for victorious opponent too.
I hope her family back home was paid well for the loss because dyin' ain't much of a livin', is it ?

women shouldn't get into mma or boxing, they always look all fucked up after every fight, more than guys do. disproportionately so. they dont have the same reflexes to avoid getting all that brain damage.

Actually pretty much all data shows the opposite. Women take a punch better than men, pound for pound. Generally speaking women have a clean sweep, we just end up winning because of sheer size.
Im not gay so Ill trust your judgement on men looking better after a fight. We all got our kink.

the fact that they can 'take a punch' doesn't mean they're not at a higher risk of developing CTE or some blood clot in the brain or some shit, cause they get the shit beaten out of them more often.

All irrelevant, if those were your opinions youda lead with em. Quick check shows women ALSO have less bruising and clotting related health issues, and their brain is encased better than ours. Again, only thing we win in is size really, and that was enough for most of human history.
Thankfully in addition to being able to kill the abusers among us in their sleep, women can also get a gun.
