What would happen if I punched someone so hard, I killed them. (BOXING)?

Question

Would I be held responsible outside the ring? would I be stopped from boxing again?

Answer 1

Your life would be miserable people would not like you  ok

Answer 2

probably because even though it was an accident you are considered deadly weapon after that so any fights would have to happen while the other man has to sign a waver to fight u and tht wont happen

Answer 3

No way , it's Pure Sport .

if you punch someone whoever he/she , only God who knows will he/she die.

so , my point is just do Boxing do not defy or break the rule of boxing and use your brain as well your heart in the game.

If you do that , i believe if your opponent died because of the punches you made . You will not getting any punishment that equal as you kill someone on your own .

I hope this worth.

Answer 4

No that would be a shame but no u wouldn't be held responable u sign wavier n other paper b4 the match thats y u have a boxing manager they tell u all this

Answer 5

boxers have died in the ring b4 there would be no consequences at all it wouldent be your fault in boxing you always try to puch someone as hard as you can when im in a boxing match i always try to punch the guys head off of his body lol

Answer 6

nope but your conscience would bother you if you have one. you a s****t? nuts?

Answer 7

U ROCK DUDE!!!

Answer 8

No you will not be held responsible outside the ring unless it was intentional. Maybe when you kill someone in the ring you no longer have the heart to hurt someone anymore. Not only does it take all of your opponent away, a part of you goes with him I think. So no you wont be stopped from boxing but you probably wont have the heart. but their have been other boxers like Barry McGuigan After he killed a man in the ring he seemed to be more intense and vicious. Maybe he realized he could be killed and didn't want it to happen to him.

I hope I helped.

pe@ce

Answer 9

i'd cheer for you

Answer 10

In today's world you'd probably be the center of all media attention for days and weeks to come! Some people will hate you, some will respect you and many will fear you! Plus you'd probably get good billing for another fight down the road. That's if anyone would wanna fight you? And no, you wouldn't get into trouble in a sactioned boxing match. Max Bear the Champion in the mid 1930s actually killed a guy in the ring with one soild punch to the top of the head. Dr.'s say the punch caused the guys brain stem to break loose causing instant death. And he never got into any trouble.

Answer 11

Heheh, I don't think you'd get in trouble. Due to it being an accident. But you'd probably be banned from the sport.

... Did you?

Answer 12

I dont think that they would do anything to you. the person was boxing to. but if he was tring to get you to stop that might be another story

Answer 13

you would be an a*****e and you would go to prison if the fight wasn't sanctioned

Answer 14

murder

you'd be in jail

Answer 15

when you sign a contract to fight, there is a clause that talks about death/ injuries incurred during the fight.

you would not held liable (nor would the Athletic Commission, ringside doctor, ref and so on) if your opponent died in the ring as a result of the fight.

If it could be proven that you intentionally broke the rules of the fight to cause harm or death to your opponent, an inquiry may be made by the state athletic commission that licensed both boxers.  It would then be up to the state distict attorney to decide if charges should be filed.

I do not know of any boxer who has been prosecuted for killing another boxer.  

As of November of 2001, the Journal for Combative Sport reported that 1,101 fighter had died as a result of Boxing.  I do know that the number of fighters who have died in fights sanctioned by the major sanctioning bodies (IBF,WBO,WBC,WBA) is substantially lower (probably less than 100 - perhaps as few as 50, I am not sure).

Most fighters continue to box after they have killed an opponent.  With exceptions (like Sugar Ray Robinson who went on to win 46 of 48 fights, with 1 draw and 1 no-contest following the death of Billy Doyle) most fighters records after the fatal bout have significantly lower winning percentages than they did before.  

In the 1830's Simon Byrne killed Alexander McKay in a bare-knuckles fight.  He would later be killed by James Burke in a bare knuckles match.

Brad Rone died in 2003, suffering a heart attack when his friend Billy Zumbrun jabbed him to the chest.  It would be Rone's 27th (and final) consecutive loss.  Rone's death put a lot of attention on medical suspensions (Rone was suspended in Nevada but licensed in Texas).  Very little change has been made since.  Boxing website boxrec.com refuses to list Rone's death on its website in the notes under the record of the 2nd Zumbrun fight.

Following the Ray Mancini's defeat of Duk Koo Kim, the WBO changed the the number of rounds in title fights from 15 to 12.  Four months later Kim's mother committed suicide, and the following July the referee committed suicide as well - the same day that Kim's son would be born.

Sonny Banks died following a fight with Leotis Martin.  Banks was the first boxer to put Ali on the canvas.

Max Baer lost four of his next six fights after killing Frankie Campbell.  The media reported that Baer relentlessly punished Campbell despite Campbell being unconscience and only being held up by the ropes.  Baer would win 44 of his final 54 fights after the Campbell fight, including a TKO loss to James Braddock (Cinderella Man).

Yo Sam Choi, Felix Bwalya, and Kevin Payne all won their final bout by decision.  All three fighters were down in the closing rounds and all three passed away within days of their last fight.  The fighter who lost to Payne (Ryan Maraldo) would fight 6 more times losing all six fights.  He and Rone are the only boxers listed here with career losing records.

Gaeten Hart, who killed Cleveland Denny fought his last fight some 20 years after the fatal fight.  His record after the Denny fight was 14 - 11 - 1.

Emile Griffith ended the life of Benny Paret.  The documentary 'Ring of Fire' focuses on this bout.

Karbary Salem killed Randy Carver - an undefeated prospect- with a series of intentional headbutts.  Salem would fight 15 more times, winning 11, and being deducted points in at least two of those fights for headbutting.

Ed Sanders was an olympic gold medalist who died shortly after his 8th pro fight, all of them in a 9 month period.  1988 Gold Medal winner Robert Wangila would lose to David Gonzalez in 1994.  He protested the stoppage to Joe Cortez, but went home after the fight and died two days later.

Al West fought fighters with the names Stonewall Jackson and Jimmy Carter, but the 1940's boxer lost to Percy Bassett, and he would die several days later of bleeding on the brain.

Ernie Schaaf is possibly the best known fighter to die as a result of a boxing related injury.  He slipped into a coma following a loss to Primo Carnera.  He died on Valentine's Day.

I believe that the 1934 bout between Carnera and Baer is the only match-up between men who had previously killed a boxer.  Baer, too, had beaten Schaaf quite severely.  Schaaf was saved by the bell in their fight and was motionless in his corner for 3 minutes before being revived.

Angelito Sisnorio died last year after a fight in Thailand with Thai boxer Chatchai Sasakul.  Sisnorio was not sanctioned by the Philippine Boxing Commission.  The Philippines has since banned all Filipinos from boxing in Thailand.

Thirty-Four year old Becky Zerlente is the only woman (to my knowledge) to die in a sanctioned fight in the United States.  She in not listed on the boxrec website.  She was licensed to fight by the Colorado State Athetic Board.  

Greg Page has become little more than a vegetable since his 2001 fight with Dale Crowe.  He is not expected to live much longer.

The overwhelming majority of boxers who die in the ring suffer a subdural hematoma, followed by blunt force trauma to the head, and pre-exisiting conditions that get aggrevated during the fight.

Boxing related deaths are on the rise, despite increased scrutiny of medical records and shorter title fights.

Finally, on July 16th (wednesday night) welterweight contender Oscar Diaz collapsed on his stool following the 11th round of his fight with Delvin Rodriguez.  Following surgery to remove part of the cranium Diaz was in a coma and unable to breathe on his own.  While the hospital staff and the 'official' spokespeople for all the various groups with interests in Diaz have released 'optomistic' statements, this is something that you do not recover from.  It is eerily similar to the Leavander Johnson fight.

Answer 16

I think you'll turn into a butterfly,

Answer 17

id cheer for you

Answer 18

If it was consentual, or he initiated it, you should be all right...but im not a lawyer...i think if someone dies from a personal injury from someone else, i think it is mandatory to go to jail until an immediate hearing is in play.

Answer 19

**** happens,and no boxer wants to kill an honest opponent.bullies want to inflict permanent damage.this is everyones nightmare because it is an accident that can even happen to light hitting fighters.the answer is it is accidental,not punishable by a court of law.
