Tools
There was good news today on the condition of bantamweight Z Gorres, who collapsed in the ring Friday following his win at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay.
According to Top Rank and Nevada Athletic Commission officials, Gorres, 27, was in stable condition and responding to stimuli at University Medical Center following treatment for a subdural hematoma.
Gorres had just won a 10-round unanimous decision over Luis Melendez when he collapsed in his corner. He had to be carried out on a stretcher and was taken directly to UMC for treatment. He was operated on late Friday by Las Vegas neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Seiff.
Details of the operation were not known. Gorres is expected to be hospitalized for the next few days.

They stopped the real fight tonight (Saturday) in the 12th round.
Obviously, they didn't want the publicity of ambulances delivering two boxers, on two consecutive days, to the waiting, top-notch, UMC craniotomy neurosurgeons. One boxer was enough. That happened on Friday. How much did the neurosurgeons make for being on call for these fights?
However, (loser) Cotto may already on his way to UMC to join his comatoxe fellow boxer in the ICU room next door.
Well, wait, his fellow boxer won the fight Friday night.
Maybe Pacquiao, also the (winner) will also end up in ICU at UMC.
That's boxing for ya'.
