<BLOCKQUOTE> US fighter Johnson dies, aged 35
American Leavander Johnson died on Thursday five days after he collapsed following his defeat to Jesus Chavez.
The 35-year-old complained of headaches after losing his IBF world lightweight title to the Mexican in Las Vegas on a technical knock-out in the 11th round.
He collapsed in his dressing room and was taken to hospital and remained on life support following surgery to stop bleeding on the left side of his brain.
Dr William Smith told reporters: "He passed away peacefully."
Dr Smith said Johnson had suffered "very severe injury to the brain" and that the boxer's family "very correctly took the decision to remove care (after) we had no further mode to improve his prognosis."
Johnson's promoter Lou DiBella led tributes to the fighter.
"What a wonderful guy this was," she said. "I've never met anybody so proud or so grateful to achieve his dream.
"If there's any solace to be taken in this, it's that he died doing what he loved. He died a champion."
Born in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Johnson spent 16 years as a professional boxer and finally won the 135-pound division title in June.
But in his first defence on Saturday, Chavez had the champion in trouble from the start and referee Tony Weeks stopped the fight 38 seconds into the 11th round.
Johnson managed to walk from the ring on his own but began to struggle as he got closer to the dressing room.
Johnson's father was his trainer and his brother was his manager and both were among those family members at his bedside when he died. | He got some serious punishment, the ref seemed to take an age to stop it as well  </BLOCKQUOTE>
Holy F.CK
I remember commenting on him looking extremely dodgy in the fight thread |

Sorry mate but just because this has happened does not mean you can point the finger at the referee. I had a **** up with the tape recorder so I missed this card last week, but I have it on good authority that the fight was stopped at the correct time and that the referee was not at fault at all. It's easy to point the finger, but no one expects something like this and referees are constantly criticised for stopping fights early, they can't win.

listen the referee was late in stopping it and i will not sway from that opinion.Im not laying all the blame on him nor all referees who stop fights early,its just there are certain times you know a fighter isnt looking very well and that was exactly how Leavander looked.

Ruiz vs McBride will be the greatest hugging match in history. If anyone buys a ticket for that fight they are brain dead. Let's just pretend it's not happening, then after it's happened pretend it never happened. The only good thing about it is that it will get rid of one of them as McBride takes a tumble back down to the club fighter level.

If anyone should be blamed it's the ringside doctor. She was the same doctor who stopped Wayne McCullough going out in the later rounds in his rematch with Oscar Larios recently despite McCullough being adamant he could continue. So if it was so obvious Johnson was badly hurt what was she doing?
On a side note, turn sky sports 2 on now, cracking fight between McKeever and Betts, amazing stuff.
