Sanaysay at saliksik ni Gregorio V. Bituin Jr.
Marami na palang boksingerong namatay dahil sa aksidente sa kotse. Namatay habang nakasakay sa kotse, at namatay dahil nabangga ng kotse. Hindi sila namatay sa pakikipagbakbakan sa boxing ring, kundi sa aksidente sa kotse. Nalaman ko ito nang magsaliksik na ako sa internet.
Nagkainteres akong isaliksik ito nang mapanood ko sa You Tube ang 25 Asian Boxers of All Time, na nasa kawing na https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cy8k604Hk1k. Sa nasabing youtube. number 1 si Manny Pacquiao bilang greatest Asian Boxers of All Time.
Nasa ika-15 ranggo naman si Masao Oba, na ang nakasulat na detalye ay ito:
35-2-16 KO, WBA Flyweight Champion (5 defenses of Title). If wasn't for unexpected death he was highly regarded to become greatest Boxer from Japan. Died in a Car accident at the age of 23, 22 days after making his last fight. (Fun Fact: Salvador Sanchez as well shares these details. 2015 Oba was inducted into the International Boxing Hall Of Fame.
Si Masao Oba, o Masao Ohba, ayon sa wikipedia ay ito:
Nababasa ko na noon si Salvador Sánchez, at batid kong isa siya sa pinakasikat na boksingero ng kanyang panahon. At nabasa ko sa pahayagan noon ang kanyang pagkamatay dahil sa aksidente sa kotse. Ito ang deskripsyon ng wikipedia tungkol kay Salvador Sánchez:
Salvador Sánchez Narváez (January 26, 1959 – August 12, 1982) was a Mexican boxer born in the town of Santiago Tianguistenco, Estado de México. Sanchez was the WBC and lineal featherweight champion from 1980 to 1982. Many of his contemporaries as well as boxing writers believe that, had it not been for his premature death, Sánchez could have gone on to become the greatest Featherweight boxer of all time. Sánchez died on August 12, 1982 in a car accident from Querétaro to San Luis Potosí He is also the uncle of Salvador Sánchez II.
Kapwa edad 23 anyos sina Masao Ohba at Salvador Sánchez. kapwa namatay sa aksidente sa kotse, at parehong sinasabing kung hindi sila namatay ay magiging greatest boxer sila ng kanilang panahon.
Marami pang ibang boksingerong namatay sa aksidente sa kotse. Iba't iba ang dahilan. Si Pernell Whitaker ay tumatawid ng kalsada ng mabangga ng kotse. Nasagi naman ng kotse ang nagbibilikletang si Andrew "Six Head" Lewis. Na-hit-and-run naman ang Irish champion boxer na si Kevin Sheehy. Mas marami ang nakasakay nang maaksidente ang kanilang kotse, nabangga sa poste, atbp. At may isang boksingero naman ang buhay nga ngunit nakapatay ng buntis habang nagmamaneho, na siyang nasa ika-20 at huli sa talaan.
Sa talaang ito, nauna ko nang natalakay batay sa unang nasaliksik sina #1 Masao Ohba, at #2 Salvador Sánchez. Muli, ang bilang # ay batay sa unang nasaliksik.

Featherweight contender Luis Rosa died in a car accident early Sunday morning.
Lou DiBella, Rosa’s promoter, confirmed Rosa’s death through Twitter on Sunday morning. Rosa was 26.
Born in Puerto Rico, Rosa lived in New Haven, Connecticut, and fought mostly in his home state, New York and New Jersey during his seven-year pro career. Rosa went 23-1, including 11 knockouts and two no-contests, during his career.
The rugged veteran lost for the first time as a pro in his most recent fight, a highly entertaining battle with Yuandale Evans that Showtime televised November 10 from Evans’ native Cleveland. Rosa lost that closely contested, 10-round bout by split decision to Evans (20-1, 14 KOs).

June 10, 1946: Jack Johnson died in a car crash on U.S. Highway 1 near Franklinton, North Carolina, a small town near Raleigh, after racing angrily from a diner that refused to serve him. He was taken to the closest black hospital, Saint Agnes Hospital in Raleigh. He was 68 years old at the time of his death.
He was buried next to Etta Duryea Johnson at Graceland Cemetery in Chicago. His grave was initially unmarked, but a stone that bears only the name “Johnson” now stands above the plots of Jack, Etta, and Irene Pineau.
John Arthur (“Jack”) Johnson , nicknamed the Galveston Giant, was a boxer. At the height of the Jim Crow era, Johnson became the 1st African American world heavyweight boxing champion (1908–1915).
In a documentary about his life, Ken Burns notes that “for more than thirteen years, Jack Johnson was the most famous and the most notorious African-American on Earth.”
While incarcerated, Johnson found need for a tool that would help tighten loosened fastening devices, and modified a wrench for the task. He patented his improvements on April 18, 1922, as US Patent 1,413,121.

CLEVELAND -- A nationally renowned female boxer is killed in a bizarre car accident. One woman was arrested after an incident that police say began as an argument and fender bender.
"She won three national titles. She won USA National three years in a row, then she went to the world, and got a bronze metal in Russia," said Renard Safo, who coached and trained 26-year-old Cashmere Jackson.
Safo says boxing was her passion.
"She started when she was 14 years old," Safo said.

by KVAL News, Saturday, January 18th 2014
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. - A teenage boxer who won state and regional titles and hoped to compete in a national championship later this month has died.
Carlos Daniel Perez was 14.
The boxer died Friday, January 24, from injuries sustained when his boxing gym's van collided with a tanker truck on Interstate 5 on Saturday, January 18.
Perez had been in critical condition in the ICU at a Portland hospital since the crash.
"I loved Carlos like he was my own son. I was very very proud of him," Heron Mendez said Friday.
Mendez coached the young boxer and was driving when the van collided with the tanker truck.
"He was one of the most humble kids I've ever come across," he said. "Very hard worker. Everything he did, he put out to the max. He was just one of the greatest kids and fighter I have ever come across.
"I pray that God takes care of him, because I know that he'll be sitting next to God."
"My focus is on nationals but after that, hopefully I get to go to the Olympics and win that. And then, maybe one day I'll be a world champion," Perez said in an interview just days before the crash.
Perez spends hours practicing his skills at Mendez Boxing Club, which is housed in space donat

A group of Sonoran boxers died in a car accident.
It was an amateur boxing team originating from Puerto Peñasco, Sonora. This group was returning from a regional competition.
The accident would have happened shortly before 2 a.m. on Sunday, as the emergency call was received at 2:20.
29 people were traveling on the bus, of which 6 were killed, including coach Jonathan Oros, a character especially recognized in Sonora for his boxing work, but well positioned within the appreciation of the country's coaches.
Ernesto Munro, mayor of Puerto Peñasco, issued the order to assist the relatives of the deceased, as well as those who were injured. He requested immediate attention for the needs of each person affected by the accident.
10 people were injured, six minors and four adults (within the same group of Sonoran boxers), who are being treated for their different injuries.
Even the super flyweight champion of the World Boxing Council, Juan Francisco Gallo Estrada, pointed out that one of the wounded is his 12-year-old nephew and asked for prayers for him, because he is in poor health.
The country's boxing community has expressed its condolences for this accident.

WBF boxing champion gets 10 years for drunken crash that killed woman, unborn child
Boxing champion Marcos Forestal-Coutin was sentenced Thursday in a Southern California courtroom to 10 years in prison in the 2018 drunken driving deaths of a woman and her unborn child.
Forestal, 29, of Burbank, pleaded guilty in March to gross vehicular manslaughter while driving under the influence. The 10-year prison term is the maximum sentence under California law, said Riverside County District Attorney’s officials.
Riverside County District Attorney’s officials announced the sentence in the Sept. 9, 2018, head-on collision in Hemet that killed Krystil Kincaid, 29, of San Jacinto, and Kincaid’s unborn daughter, whom Krystil and husband Zach Kincaid, planned to name Avalynn Onix. Hemet is approximately 90 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
Krystill Kincaid was eight months pregnant. She was on speakerphone with her husband when Forestal’s BMW swerved into her lane and collided with her minivan, her husband would later say.
Maraming sikat na boksingero ang namatay sa aksidente sa kotse. may kasabihan nga, "If you drive, don't drink. If you drink, don't drive." Ito'y paalala, hindi lamang sa mga boksingero, kundi sa lahat ng nagmamaneho upang maiwasan ang aksidenteng maaaring magdulot ng kamatayan.
Maraming boksingerong naitala rito ang namatay nang maaga o bata pa. Nariayn sina Masao Ohba, 23; Salvador Sánchez, 23, David 'Tornado' Sanchez, 25; Dmytro Lisovyi, 24; Luis Rosa, 26; Greg Torres, 28; Carlos Daniel Perez, 14; at ang mga amateur na boksingero mula Puerto Peñasco, Sonora.
Mag-ingat sa pagmamaneho at mag-ingat sa pagtawid sa kalsada. Kailangan ding huwag mainit ang ulo sa pagmamaneho at trapik, tulad ng nangyari nang binaril ni Rolito Go ang estudyanteng si Eldon Maguan ilang dekada na ang nakararaan.
Kahit ang humahamon ngayon kay WBA Welterweight champion Manny Pacquiao, na si IBF and WBC Welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. ay naaksidente sa kanyang Ferrari dahil siya'y nagmamaneho ng nakainom o lasing.
Ang mga talaang naririto ng mga boksingerong mamatay, sana'y hindi na madagdagan pa. Subalit paano nga ba maiiwasan ang mga aksidente sa kotse o sa anumang sasakyan, tulad ng bus, trak, motorsiklo at bisikleta?
Sa artikulong "7 Tips on How to Avoid a Car Accident" ay ganito ang kanilang payo:
(1) Limit distractions. There are so many distractions in our lives these days. Using your cell phone, texting, and fiddling with the radio or GPS should all be done when you are at a complete stop or avoided altogether. Give 100% of your attention to the road. The text message can wait. Your friends and loved ones should understand that you are driving and that your safety and the safety of others is far more important.
(2) Scan the area and beware of blind spots. Make certain that your mirrors are in the correct position. However, you shouldn’t put complete faith in your mirrors. Quickly turn around and look before changing lanes or entering the highway to make certain that you are not about to pull out in front of someone. Also, try to avoid the blind spots of other drivers, especially semi-trucks. If you can, limit the length of time that you have to be in their blind spot.
(3) Limit nighttime driving. No matter how good your eyes are, night driving is still more difficult and comes with a higher risk of accidents. Not only is your visibility reduced when it’s dark out, but also drunk drivers tend to be out on the roads much more during this time. If you have to drive after midnight, make sure you stay extra alert for reckless drivers.
(4) Avoid the fast lane if possible. Did you know that most highway accidents occur in the far left lane? Many people just speed too fast in that particular lane. If you are in the center or far right lanes, you are more able to maneuver away from a potentially dangerous situation than if you are in the fast lane.
(5) Never assume. Never just assume that a driver is going to stop or turn. It’s better to assume they may not! For example, when going through a red light, still look both ways to check if anyone is going to run the light. Not only do drunk drivers often run red lights, but so do distracted drivers. Remember, it may be an accident that their turn signal is even on. Better to drive cautiously.
(6) Keep your car in tip-top condition. Always stay up-to-date with car checkups by taking it to an experienced auto technician in your area. Also, don’t drive on old tires that could blowout at any moment, potentially causing a wreck. Get any odd noises checked out before getting on the highway. Take pride in your vehicle and do all you can to make sure it is running properly.
(7) Learn to maneuver like a racecar driver! Perhaps surprisingly, car experts often advise drivers to improve their driving skills by attending a high performance driving school. Edmunds states, “You’ll learn what it feels like to drive a car ‘at the limits’ and have an opportunity to practice accident avoidance maneuvers and skid recovery in a safe, controlled environment. Understanding how to make your car do what you want it to do in emergency situations could save your life.”
Sana'y nakatulong ang ilang payo upang maiwasan ang aksidente sa sasakyan. At nawa'y wala nang mamatay pa dahil lasing na nagmamaneho, o mabangga, o mawalan ng preno. Naligtasan man nila ang mga suntok ng kalaban, subalit hindi sila nakaligtas sa aksidente sasakyan.
Maraming salamat sa iyong pagbabasa, at sana'y kapulutan din ito ng aral, kahit munti man.
