Cisse Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hector "Macho" Camacho has passed away. He was shot on Tuesday on his head and had been in life support since. His mother made the decision to take him out of life support because she felt she had already lost his son. In my mind Camacho was one of the last proper fighters and I think he will be greatly missed. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex W Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Ocar De la Hoya said that the guy had been insulting him before the fight they had but once it was done Camacho came up to him and apologised for all of it, said something along the lines of "I'm sorry if I offended you, it's my job." Seemed a very troubled guy, but he was one hell of a fighter. He fought everyone in their prime, didn't shy away from anything when it came to opponents. You've gotta respect that.

Cisse Posted November 26, 2012 Author Share Posted November 26, 2012 Yep, once Camacho got to the top he fought the toughest opponents available and didn't concentrate solely to build up his statistics. That tells a lot about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Shame he got into taking/dealing cocaine, which more than likely resulted in him being shot. Feel sorry for his wife and family who pretty much watched it all happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
