Mexican boxer Marco Antonio Nazareth passed away this morning. He underwent emergency surgery for a subdural hematoma Saturday night after a boxing match against Omar Chavez. Nazareth remained in critical but stable condition until Tuesday when his condition worsened, and doctors said that possibly only 10% of his brain function was working. Sadly, he passed away this morning at the young age of 23.
Rest in peace.
