By this time, we all know that our very own Nonito Donaire Jr. just won by knockout against Fernando Montiel by a left hook heard around the world. As happy as I am for Donaire, I can't help but feel for Montiel. While the loss is surely devastating, the long term effects of such a punch cannot be discounted. Boxers have been known to exhibit symptoms of brain damage long after their careers are over. Judging from this photo and the way his body convulsed after the knockout, I can't help but worry for the poor guy. I can only hope that he didn't sustain any significant damage from the punch.
