I'm hearing from writer Dan Horgan that Oscar is in critical condition right now. I'd like to request that we put him and his family in our prayers tonight. What a warrior.

 

[Sweet Sugar]

Great thread Lance. He will definitely be in my prayers tonight. I really hope he's ok. This is the part of boxing I hate.

 

[TysonJones]

Same Here. I hope espn cares enough to keep us updated instead of talking about brett favre all night.

 

[SugarShane]

Some guy on boxingscene claims Dan Horgan told him he's in critical condition. I call that speculation and say BS. I hope he's ok. The damn ESPN crawler titled BOXING only said "James Toney defeats Hasim...." nothing about Diaz. This is bullshitt. I'm getting frustrated and may just go up there.

 

[SugarShane]

I can't shake this. I am unable to think of anything other than Oscar Diaz. I keep trying to read posts and respond, but I've been rendered incapable of doing so. I haven't been this shook up in...well a long time. Fukk ESPN for slagging this off.

espn is now reporting something serious too. Oscar has always been a good kid, never overly talented, but did everything his trainers and the public wanted him to do. He never complained and he never quit. God Bless him and his family. Oscar deserves a break.

God I hope surgery won't be necessary

He's in surgery now...

 

[SugarShane]

Such an odd feeling. This is all right down the street from me.

 

[2centsworth]

you in San Antonio.

 

[SugarShane]

I'm in the area...

 

[Sweet Sugar]

He's in surgery now...

Poor thing. My heart goes out to him

 

[2centsworth]

I used to work right across the street from the municipal at the coronado where they used to have a lot of local fighting. I remember when Oscar first got started and Lou Duva promoted him hard. I have a sense Oscar is gonna pull through.

 

[2centsworth]

right now all we can do is pray. we won't get word for another couple of hours at least.

 

[SugarShane]

Yeah I've been praying like crazy. It is an odd time to say this, but welcome to the boxingforum family brother. What a tragic night.

I'm praying for him as well...God bless him...
