Jimmy Garcia
Jimmy Garcia (October 12, 1971 – May 19, 1995) was a Colombian boxer who was best known for losing a WBC super featherweight title to Gabriel Ruelas and subsequently dying 13 days later from brain damage.[2] The loss to Ruelas was the only stoppage loss of Garcia's career, and the former Colombian Featherweight champion's corner was criticized for not stopping the fight earlier.[3] The Ruelas match had been Garcia's second unsuccessful title shot, having lost a unanimous decision to Genaro Hernández earlier.[4]

gollark: I forgot them.
gollark: This isn't really a good argument for central planning though? People know people will act in their own interest. The market system encourages that to be directed somewhat toward productive ends. Central planners don't have very good incentives that way.

gollark: Is this an array language?
gollark: That sounds noncommunistic and also bad.
