Z Gorres Collapses After Win In Vegas

By David A. Avila

LAS VEGAS-Filipino contender Z. Gorres slumped to the floor after out-pointing Luis Melendez and was taken on a stretcher to a nearby hospital on Friday. Gorres was knocked down 30 seconds before the final round ended, beat the count and was given the decision by the judges. The 27-year-old was then was celebrating around the ring when suddenly his knees buckled and the fighter was immediately put on a stretcher.

The popular Filipino fighter was taken to the University Medical Center in Las Vegas where he was placed in critical condition. No word on the outcome or whether Gorres (31-2)  will undergo an operation. The Top Rank fight card took place at the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.

cryogenix:  This guy never had any warm-up fights.. His fights are always against tough fighters.. Melendez is no different as he is a KO artist.. I feel bad that he is not getting that much publicity compared to the others.. Now I feel worse that he is in the hospital after winning a fight. He can handle this. He will. He has to.

Photo/friend of TSS "The Iceman" John Scully reports there were only pleasantries exchanged. Goody didn't debate the split decision victory enjoyed by Leonard, which to this day Hagler disputes.
