Marco Antonio Nazareth, conocido en el ámbito pugilístico como El Texano, “es un campeón porque ya está con Cristo”, así lo expresó hoy su padre, Marco Antonio Nazareth, en el último adiós que unas 150 personas le dieron al peleador, luego que perdiera la vida a causa de un derrame cerebral como consecuencia de la pelea que sostuvo el sábado pasado en Puerto Vallarta ante Omar Chávez, hijo del ex campeón mundial mexicano, Julio César Chávez.
Marco Antonio Nazareth 23 died after induced coma due to brain injury from the blows received during his fight with the son of the legendary Julio Cesar Chavez.
A tragic end to such young life. Family, friends, fans and Mexican boxing community mourn his death.
May he rest in Peace
El mexicano Marco Antonio Nazareth falleció luego de permanecer en coma inducido tras perder por paliza ante Omar Chávez, hijo del legendario Julio César Chávez, informaron sus familiares.
Marco Antonio Nazareth died Wednesday at a hospital in Puerto Vallarta, where he had arrived some days before after he suffered from a cerebral hemorrhage during the fight against Omar Chavez, Julio Cesar Chavez's son.
The 23-year-old boxer's health worsened after doctors performed a surgery that did not produced the expected results as surgeons could not control blood flows.
Nazareth suffered from cerebral hemorrhage during last Saturday's fight against Omar Chavez, in which he was defeated in the fourth round by knock out.
¨I´m very sorry, I prayed for him, I feel bad, confused and with many questions¨
El mexicano Omar Chávez, de 19 años, hijo del ex campeón mundial Julio César Chávez, dijo que está "confundido y triste" tras la muerte del boxeador Marco Antonio Nazareth, ocurrida luego de la paliza que le propinó een combate. "Lo siento muchísimo", afirmó Chávez en un comunicado, en el que agregó que está "con la familia" de Nazareth y que con su propia familia "rezó mucho por Marco. Me siento muy mal, triste, confundido y con muchas preguntas", agregó Omar Chávez.

Thanks for this. So sad.
at 10:30 on July 22nd, 2009
It is very sad. He was so full of life and so young
at 12:25 on July 22nd, 2009
Boxing is so dangerous, and only 23... wow, so sad.
at 12:53 on July 22nd, 2009
Wow. That is really sad. Both of them are so young, too.
at 14:38 on July 22nd, 2009
Very sad. He should have had decades of life ahead.

It's time for this family to get real rivals, I think that the boxin people just want's to kiss Julio Cesar Chavez ass.. I've seen Julio Cesar Chavez JR ass getting kicked a couple of times but still he win's.. that's a bunch of BS I hate the Chavez family. I dont have more words to describe what I feel I'm just so dissapointed.
at 17:12 on July 22nd, 2009
I think you're a little harsh on the family. If there is anybody to blame it would be the people who continue to make and/or made mass amount of money out of them. Those people are the true disease in sports.

what do u know about boxing irma

mi mas sentido pesame para la familia de Marco Nazareth. R.I.P. MARCO NAZARETH
at 20:23 on July 22nd, 2009
what a tragedy-- two young lives changed forever. May Marco RIP and may Omar Chavez get some therapy. I don't see how one can deal with this type of situation even if it is part of the sport.
I agree with TonyG, you can't blame the Chavez's for what the promoters do. That said, I don't think Chavez Jr. is "boxing material", but Omar is.
Mi mas sentido pesame para la familia Nazareth.

Maybe Omar was boxing material , this has to be hard to deal with;knowing someone died because of you has to be a very hard thing to deal with!!
at 08:10 on July 23rd, 2009
The problem is the referees @ most times. I think he got hit to much. Yes they have been getting boxers that arent really that good for Jr. I didnt even know about this younger brother. I really dont even follow Jrs career at all. They are just trying to build a good record. Hell if i was given the oppurtunity of just getting in their for 1K id do it and i know i could whoop his ass, no joke. I feel very bad for the family, somebody should of stepped in.

La muerte del boxeador Marco Nazareth es dolorosa y triste.Un hombre joven con suenos
que han sido truncados.Escogio un dificil camino para alcanzarlos.
El Joven Chavez tiene que comprender que la practica del boxeo es extremadamente riesgosa.Que el no es culpable porque no hubo ni intencion ni dolo y que este acccidente
no puede detener su carrera.
Nuestra condolencia a la familia de la victima

Julio Cesar Chavez has these two pussy sons of his so spoiled he's afraid to match them up with real competitors. Whats really sickening is how blind people are thinking these two punk asses are great fighters. They suck. Chavez is gonna keep on cashing in on this circus until people realize and get bored of these shitty fights or till chavez runs out of poor out of the street shoe shiners who are willing to risk their lifes for a little food money fighting these punk asses.

I can't agree with you more. I was a fan of their dad, Julio Sr., but since I've seen his son's opponent's records, you can kiss that goodbye. When I saw the other son fighting someone with a losing record I remarked that it shouldn't be allowed. When I saw Nazareth's record before the fight, I told others watching that Nazareth had too little experience (although he did seem to have potential) and that all who were sanctioning the fight should be held criminally responsible if something were to happen....then it happened. If I were his parents I'd sue the promoter's ass, Julio Sr.'s ass, and the governing body who sanctioned the fight. Although I feel bad for their son's death, what were the parents thinking? And to all who who say it was a terrible accident of the game, wise up!

Ok tough guy lets see you get in the ring with any Chavez member and see what happens. his sons are just following in their fathers footsteps, and not everyone wants to be a garbage man like you and your dad.
at 12:07 on July 23rd, 2009
First of all Julio Cesar Chavez is a great warrior who deserves respect. Boxing is a sport and you really can't balme anyone.May you rest in peace Marco Nazareth.

this is a sad sick sport people pay money to see other humans fight and hurt them selfs but do they ever thing about the concequences of this sport or the family of each boxer. We live in a messed up world with crazy people around us killers and rapist and we say that something is wrong with there brain what do you think is wrong with us when we feel joy when a person gets beat up and looses in a fight. the law bands dog fights but they let humans destroy each other in other words dogs are worth more than humans we protect them but we dont band human fights its a power thing or maybe is a way of letting the human race destroy it self just like gangs and drive by shootings, we dont need evil we do it all ourselves.
my prayer go to his family, at least were he is going he wont be hurt again

cadacual hace con su vida lo que quiere.nadie puede decir ni hablar de record.todo boxiador
en su peso pelea quien le pongan al frente,pero creo que no tiene nada que ve con esperiencia
ni con el papa ni promotor.solo que algunos pueden cojer los golpes y otros no.es muy triste cuado algo asi pasami opinion es que la esquina y el refere tienen que estar un poco mas pendiente a los peleadores.el refere porque tiene miedo a una mala actuacion no para la peleas y la esquina tiene que saber las limitaciones de su peleador.yo personal culpo la esquina porque son los que trabajan dia a dia con sus pupilos. que DIOSbendiga a las familias y que OSCAR siga hacia adelante y que se cuide porque el muerto puede ser cualquiera . cuando DIOS nos llama no se puede hacer nada

Indeed his father is a great warrior. Both these young men knew of the consequences before they stepping into the ring. Marco Antonio died doing what he loved, I'm sure not many of you can say you will die doing what you love. Boxing is just a sport - no one is suppose to die and if you think that boxing should be banned then you should probrably start with wars, corrupt politicians, world hunger and poverty. Rest in peace Marco
