Never was matey , it's hard on these forums to get any form of humour across , but if you remain an Arsenal Fan for the rest of your life , or any other team for that matter, you will meet this kind of micky-taking and hopefully enjoy it.

I've learned to enjoy it mate, after i was flamed so badly.

LAS VEGAS - Boxer Leavander Johnson, critically injured in the biggest fight of his life, died Thursday at a hospital where he was rushed with bleeding on the brain.

The 35-year-old╝s kidneys had failed and his heart was not pumping on its own when family members decided to remove him from life support, his doctor said.

ôWe had no further mode to improve his prognosis, so the family very correctly made the decision to withdraw care,╜ Dr. William Smith said. ôHe passed away very peacefully.╜

Johnson collapsed on his way to the dressing room after taking a beating in his IBF lightweight title defense Saturday night against Jesus Chavez. Doctors were operating on him within 40 minutes to relieve pressure on his brain, but he never came out of a medically induced coma.

Smith said he performed a second operation Monday to remove a blood clot but Johnson was too gravely injured to survive.

ôHe suffered a very severe injury. The problem is that the injury was to the brain itself,╜ Smith said. ôIn some cases, the punishment is absorbed by the skull, but in this young man╝s case, the brain absorbed the punishment itself.╜

Johnson╝s promoter, Lou DiBella, said Johnson╝s family members were present when he died. Johnson╝s father was his trainer and his brother was his manager.

ôWhat a wonderful guy this was. And I╝ve never met anybody so proud or so grateful to achieve his dream,╜ DiBella said. ôIf there╝s any solace to be taken in this, it╝s that he died doing what he loved. He died a champion.╜

Doctors were initially unsure Johnson would make it through the night after being injured during the fight at the MGM Grand hotel-casino, but the next day Smith expressed cautious optimism after tests showed improvement in brain function.

Johnson, who was from Atlantic City, N.J., spent 16 years as a professional fighter before finally winning a version of the 135-pound title in June. But, in his first defense, he took a beating from Chavez before finally being stopped by a flurry of punches in the 11th round.

He walked from the ring, but on the way to the dressing room began showing signs of an injury. He was rushed to University Medical Center where Smith operated on him to relieve pressure from a subdural hematoma, or bleeding on the brain.

ôThere╝ll be a lot of people who╝ll take pokes at boxing for this. We can be better for protecting our athletes. But this was not a situation where anyone failed Leavander Johnson,╜ said DiBella, who knew Johnson for more than 10 years. ôIt was just God╝s will. It╝s a sport that╝s inherently dangerous.╜

DiBella said Johnson╝s father, Bill, said Chavez was ôblameless in this tragic situation.╜ Chavez visited Johnson in the hospital the day after the fight.

Smith said it was not clear whether one punch or an accumulation of punches in the fight caused a swelling so pronounced that it pushed Johnson╝s brain from the right side of his skull to the left.

He said doctors also don╝t know for sure whether fighters who take a lot of punches during their career are more susceptible to brain damage. Johnson was in his 41st pro fight and had more than 100 amateur fights.

ôIt╝s a tough question to answer 100 percent. Certainly, some evidence suggests repeated blows over time will make a person able to resist a major injury less well,╜ Smith said. ôHis reserves for recovering from this were much less than had he never had taken the blows over time.╜

Johnson╝s death follows the July 2 death of Mexican boxer Martin Sanchez, who died a day after he was knocked out by Rustam Nugaev of Russia in a super lightweight fight in Las Vegas. That death was the fifth in the ring since 1994 in the city.

Before Sanchez died, two other fighters suffered brain injuries but survived after fights this year in Las Vegas.

Sad story. But the guy Jesus had boxing with him so wasnt "Jesus" supposed to resurrect him? I thought Jesus was supposed to raise people from the dead.

[What? 10,000 pounds?????? Thats too much!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

How can you have 'too much' going to a charity?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Is it going to charity or is it going to Moore?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The money will go to a charity of Moore's choice.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Maybe it depends on Moore then.

Dont get hyped up here, dudes. No offense was meant to anyone from me. I really never heard Yids before, and i admit it. I didnt blame anyone nor ThaiPauly of not being an Arsenal fan but i just wanted to joke around as he didnt like me starting threads about Arsenal. So please chill and be cool.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Classy response from one so young! Don't worry Shivek , in the UK pi$$taking is all part of the culture between football fans.

For the records , I am a Tottenham Fan , the rivalry between Tottenham and Arsenal is legendary. Ok Arsenal have been more successful in the last 10 years but Spurs have been fairly even before then and I think things may change soon.

I'm, assuming you haven't lived in the UK otherwise you would have found this out at school. The rivalry is similar to Manu / Man City , Liverpool/Everton, Newcastle/Sunderland.

London derby match. Thats why they are rivals. I never u r Spurs fan, but we drew Hammers yesterday. And the best thing is Man Utd lost Blackburn. Moore scored against Chel$ki but still Lampard 2 goals and they won again.
