The Worst Boxing Accident in History

November 1st, 2011

The big fight between Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manual Marquez is due to take place on the 12th of November 2011 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Any boxing match is always tense and a good time to remind ourselves of what can go wrong during boxing.

The worse boxing death, still engraved in the minds of many, has to be the fight between Duk-Koo Kim and Ray Mancini.  They fought each other for an incredibly impressive fourteen rounds in Ceasar’s Palace, the outdoor arena in Las Vegas.  In round 13, Mancini attacked with all that he had and landed 39 punches.  In the next round, Mancini landed two straight punches on Kim’s head and he dropped to the floor.  Although he was able to get up before the referee counted to ten, hence not being knocked out, the fight was immediately stopped and Kim was rushed to hospital where he died four days later.  Following Kim’s death, both the referee of the bout and Kim’s mother committed suicide.  Mancini did continue to box until 1999, but he was never the same again and suffered from extreme depression for many years, feeling he had blood on his hands.

This awful boxing incident changed some of the rules of boxing, mainly that the maximum number of rounds is now 12, rather than 15.

This is just one of many examples of boxing gone wrong, and it caused great discussion on the validity of boxing as a sport.  The effects of this accident, as you can see, were far reaching and affected many people, even those outside the ring who were witness to this fight.  A tremendous feeling of guilt fell over them, as they cheered for a man’s death, and many suffered from serious depression afterwards.

We invite you to watch Pacquiao vs Marquez live streaming and judge yourself whether boxing is to dangerous or not!

Pursuing Motor Accident Claims

May 13th, 2011

The motor accident claims procedure can be handled in numerous ways. Auto insurance companies offer three major ways that you can get in touch with them to get your claims processes going. These three ways are: claims by phone, claims by internet, and brick and mortar claims.

Making your motor accident claims by phone has traditionally been the way most insured filed. All you have to do is call up the company and start the process to get money for your accident. They will usually just ask a few facts from you in order to get the process going. It’s a fairly painless way to do things.

One of the more popular ways now is to file directly over the internet. The major benefit of this is that you don’t have to actually talk to a claims adjuster right away. Some people have trouble remembering facts when on the spot, so this offers a way to get all the facts in order before they put the information into the web based form.

Actually going to the insurance agencies office is the least convenient method of doing things, but some motorists prefer to do things on a face to face basis. Many older motorists prefer to do things this way out of habit as well.

No matter which way you decide to file your motor accident claims, it’s important to do things as quickly as possible. The faster that you can get the wheels in motion the easier the claim is going to be. Usually your agency will contact the insurance agent of the other driver in order to come up with an amicable agreement depending on who they view was at fault. In the event of a disagreement they will start the process of getting things figured out. This is why it’s also important to try to get a police report when possible. It can make the decision making process go much more smoothly in some situations.

Usually it’s a pretty easy process that doesn’t require you to do much. You pay the auto insurance agency to do all of this so that you don’t have to deal with it. Things can get more difficult if the other party is not insured. Most modern coverage plans anticipate this situation though and you are usually covered. It’s important to take a look at your policy to see if this is provided. If it isn’t then you may wish to add it to your policy.
