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?
