After her knockout Saturday, women’s junior flyweight boxer Isis Sio has been placed in a medically induced coma, ESPN reported Sunday.
...
The 19-year-old was knocked unconscious after multiple hits to the head in her fight with Jocelyn Camarillo at the Orange Show Event Center in San Bernardino, Calif. Camarillo landed an early left hook and three more punches before Sio fell to the ground.
The fight ended after 78 seconds.
She received immediate medical attention following the knockout and was stretchered out of the arena before being taken to the Intensive Care Unit at Loma Linda University Health Medical Center. Sio could be seen convulsing as she was taken out, the first sign her injuries were more devastating than a typical knockout.
Sunday’s knockout follows another during her most recent match with Perla Bazualda on Jan. 30 after several crushing body blows.
She currently has a 1-3 overall record after falling unanimously to Jessica Radtke Maltez in her debut. Her lone win came against Katelyn Radtka.
Sunday’s result moved Camarillo to 6-0

Call me a neanderthal, but women should not do boxing.
What is Jocelyn’s birth name? Joseph?
:: women should not do boxing ::
What was the Vegas payout on Camarillo?
I’m starting to think nobody should do boxing, at least without serious protective gear. Too much head trauma.
Here inlies the problem. The boxing suspension is 45 days for knockouts from head shots, but 30 days for others.
This contest occurred 48 days after the last contest. She would not have been able to train for 30 days. Only 18 days available for training?
The boxer in question should have been slapped with a 60 day no contact suspension. The WBA, for example, in championship fights, states, “Any boxer who has suffered an actual knockout shall be suspended for a minimum
of sixty (60) days and shall forthwith surrender his license card to the Commission. The Boxer must submit to Medical testing as instructed by the Ringside Physician and cannot be reinstated until he has submitted to a medical examination performed by a Consulting Licensed Physician that includes neurological clearance. The Consulting Licensed Physician will submit to the Commission and the Medical Advisory Committee a letter of clearance (including neurological fitness).”
“If such a boxer suffers a knockout in his next bout, or within three-(3) month following a previous knockout, he shall be suspended from boxing for a period six (6) months.
During the six-(6) months interval he shall refrain from any contact training in the gymnasiums. It shall be the responsibility of the boxer’s manager to see that he complies with this rule, and any violation shall result in indefinite suspension of the boxer and/or his manager.”
Her manager could be suspended too.
I agree. And MMA is even more difficult to watch.
TBH, watching guys MMA is kinda brutal, as well. When I was a kid and a younger adult, I used to prefer good old-fashioned professional wrestling.
My medical doctor cousin once described boxing in medical terms to me, which I cannot quote exactly, but was something like: “The object is to strike your opponent with sufficient force to drive his (brain) into his (skull) with sufficient force to damage his (brain) to the point where consciousness cannot be maintained and your opponent falls unconscious onto the matt.” Or something like that.
Maybe you can tell I’m not a fan of boxing.
I agree, but I also think men’s pugilism/MMA is bad as well for your noggin.
In my gym about a 1/3 of the tv’s everywhere run the “One” MMA fighting network (the others are usually stupid betting talk shows and bracket crap during the pre-evening when I am there). I don’t watch it, but you see glimpses of it as you work-out. Aside from it not looking very good as a sport, it saddens me to see the women fight.
If you look at this and what happened to Cassius Clay, boxing isn’t a good career path considering the health risks.
Her record indicates no previous knockouts.
One good win does not a pro boxer make.
I get grief when I replace the gym televisions on betting shows and last night’s scores with morning markets and weather. They believe the world revolves around themselves. I notice it’s racially motivated because they find conservatives who push live markets are racist and believe they are entitled to their little boxes of betting shows.
> I’m starting to think nobody should do boxing, at least without serious protective gear. <
Agreed. Every last NFL player wears protective headgear. The same should go with boxers.
But I guess the excitement of seeing a knockout trumps all.
People should not be boxing. IT is a brutal “sport” where people try to knock each other out.
There's a Super Bantamweight Japanese boxer named Naoya Inoue whose nickname is "the Monster" (given to him by Mike Tyson) who is absolutely marvelous to watch.
If anyone enjoys boxing, watch him on Youtube....
Or go back to bare-fisted boxing.
