Former boxer 'Macho' Camacho shot in Puerto Rico
The Associated Press


Police in Puerto Rico say former boxing champion Hector "Macho" Camacho has been shot and critically wounded.

Camacho was shot in the face while in a car outside a bar in Bayamon, one of the cities that make up the San Juan metropolitan area. A statement from police in Bayamon said he was shot Tuesday night.

A second man also was shot and killed but authorities say it is not clear what relationship, if any, Camacho had with the other victim. The motive was unknown.

The 50-year-old former boxer was unconscious as he was taken to the trauma center at Centro Medico in San Juan. Hospital officials told reporters he was in serious condition.

Camacho won super lightweight, lightweight and junior welterweight world titles in the 1980s.

From fightnews.com

Wednesday night it became known that Camacho still has brain activity (3-4%) and doctors are not making a diagnosis of brain death for now. Further EEGs are planned for tomorrow and a 9:30 AM press conference has been scheduled. Unofficially a decision has apparently been made that in the event of Camacho’s death his organs will not be donated.

Was never a fan... but I was still pulling hard for him after he got shot.  Was stunned by how negative the prognosis was a day out, and sadly it proved to be accurate. 

RIP

Look like de funeral an all went 15 rounds :o



Catfight breaks out at funeral of slain boxing champion Hector 'Macho' Camacho as his ex-lover and sisters come to blows with woman claiming to be his girlfriend next to his open casket

The funeral of boxing legend Hector 'Macho' Camacho erupted into chaos after a fight broke out between a woman claiming to be his girlfriend, a former lover and his sisters.

Family, fans and fellow boxers had gathered in San Juan, Puerto Rico on Tuesday to say goodbye to the slain former world champion fighter, known for his flamboyance in and out of the ring.
The brawl broke out after 28-year-old Cynthia Castillo, dressed in a pink T-shirt emblazoned with Camacho's face, leaned down to kiss his body in the open casket.
She then walked into an area reserved for family - causing tensions to spill over with the boxer's sisters and former lover, 50-year-old Gloria Fernandez.

The scuffle migrated outside the memorial service, followed by a pack of journalists brandishing camera phones and police who separated the women.
Miss Castillo said she was the boxer's girlfriend before he died, calling him 'my partner, my friend, my brother', according to El Nuevo Dia.

Police urged the young woman to leave the scene while the sisters returned to the service.

There were emotional scenes throughout the day as members of Camacho's immediate family approached the coffin.

The boxer's mother Maria Matias wept and caressed her son's face in the coffin, which was draped in a Puerto Rican flag. 'They killed him,' she wailed at one point.
Hundreds of people filed past Camacho's open casket, displayed inside a gymnasium decked out for the occasion with black carpet and curtains
