Wow, just tragic.
Should they have stopped the fight sooner? Did McGirt fuk up there? I know they rushed him to surgery.
What happened in the ring? Hard hits? No defense?
Just a fluke thing?

You know he took a lot of shots but no, no real knick out blow. I've seen dozens of dudes get hit harder and more often and still give a presser after. Maybe theres a freak deal or a pre fight drug that made veins in head susceptible. Who knows....but
McGirt saw something at the last bell and didn't stop it. He mentioned it, they have him on film too....and he let his boy go out there w 0 chance to win anyway. It was a kamikaze mission at that point.

Here's the fight. Even the announcer talked about stopping the fight during the 11th round.
