Granted, I don't watch boxing but my guess is there are very stringent regulations in place, even at amateur matches, to prevent this very thing from happening.

Some heads will roll, some cash will be payed out, and it will most likely happen again after some other horrible thing happens to push this one out of the news-cycle.

Damn.
