“My brother is still fighting, he is still alive. If he hasn’t stopped breathing, you can’t say my brother died. He’s breathing now. We saw it and we still saw it strong. We have faith, I know that God can do amazing miracles, we wait until the last minute for a miracle from God,” he said. Leonardo Quinonez, Luis’ brother in dialogue with the journalist Francisco Urruchurto.
Quiñónez, who was knocked out by his friend and partner Jose Munoz in the dispute for the national junior welterweight title, he entered the clinic “with neurological deterioration due to cranioencephalic trauma resulting from traumatic skull contusions secondary to his professional boxing activity,” according to the first medical report.
“A few hours after the fight, he showed progressive drowsiness and obtundation, with a depressed posture to central stimuli,” the medical center explained.
As the days passed, the athlete became more complicated, and the clinic announced that his condition was a “very reserved prognosis.”
Luis is an 18-year-old man from Barranque who arrived in the capital of the Atlantic five calendars ago with the illusion of being the world boxing champion.
