Two Fighters Out, One Card Too Many Punchlines
In an event that’s got 'surreal' tattooed on its boxing gloves, Shigetoshi Kotari and Hiromasa Urakawa both passed away within a day of each other after separate bouts on the same card. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where fighting twice on a single event turned into a 'death match'? The article states plainly they 'pass away within a day of each other after separate bouts on the same card,' which is simultaneously tragic and absurd. So let me get this straight: a boxing card turned out to be less a night of sport and more a bad punchline no one wants to hear?

Nothing says ‘great entertainment’ like two fighters dropping out permanently after the same event. If UFC keeps this up, their rings will need morgues instead of medics.
Boxing: Where getting knocked out twice on the same card should definitely come with frequent flyer miles… to the afterlife.
Same boxing event, two fighters gone? That’s less a sport and more a live-action game of ‘Don’t Get Knocked Out or Dead.’
