Z Gorres - Filipino Boxer

(Reader Contribution to 9 of the Worst Boxing Injuries of All Times)


On November 13, 2009, after winning a 10 round bout against Luis Melendez in which he was knocked down with 30 seconds remaining in the final round, Gorres collapsed in the ring and was removed on a stretcher. He underwent surgery to relieve swelling to the left side of his brain. Originally, doctors were going to keep him in a medically induced coma for a few days, but Gorres reacted to the treatment much better than anticipated and came out of it. As a result of his injury, his boxing career is likely over.
