Dundee boxer Mike Towell fighting for his life in hospital after being knocked out in his British title eliminator last night

 

Hope he pulls through

Best wishes to him for a full and speedy recovery.

Watched him during a short interview on TV just a few nights ago. He came over as a decent fella.Shocked and really saddened to hear that news above.

I've got strange views about boxing. I can understand the attraction (And I like watching boxing) But I also think it's wrong. Hope it all turns out OK for him.

Mike is a Dee/Tim and visits Dens a few times a season. Wishing him all the best.

I was told earlier that he's sadly passed away. The reports online don't say this so hopefully misinformation.

Watched the fight last night and mike was in the fight until the knock out. Think Evans was maybe too much too early in his career but he acquitted himself well  

Thoughts are with him and his family and I hope he pulls through. Respect to anyone who steps into the ring.

Hope he pulls through alright!

Feel for the other boy as well, he must be feeling terrible!

[WESTENDDEE]

He was definitely winning till that happened. Maybe lost the first round 

hope he pulls through great lad Mike is.

First round must have been a 10-8 because of the knockdown

Agreed. Evans has been in with some classy opponents,but he was doing well till the 6th.

Hope everything is okay

Reports confirming that Mike has indeed passed away. Terrible news. Tragic. RIP

Wouldn't believe that site it looks very dodgy indeed. Not confirmed anywhere else yet and hopefully it's not true.
