- It's been one year since Daniel Franco stepped in the ring as a pro boxer after his televised main event against Jose Haro on June 10 in Iowa. A knock out in the 8th round left him with a near fatal brain injury.
Not only is this guy lucky he survived, but he’s even more lucky he didn’t become a vegetable AFTER a surgery like that! Much like what happened to that boxer Pritchard Colon who has been a complete vegetable after his brain surgery! God help him
Young Yoda Exactly man! That guy that reffed Pritchard’s fight should be in jail! Letting that dude repeatedly punch the dude in the back of the head without disqualifying him!
Let's Pray God Jesus Christ rests his soul and keep him in peace! Orthodox Christianity is the original and true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and you can feel God through the holy mysteries after baptism , confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God. Spread the word and positivity and God Bless !
Well if he recovered why doesnt he box again? I dont get why he just quit
@@mattheww797 dude hows he supposed to compete at the level as before? He’s never gonna be back at 100%, he should enjoy his life
@@mattheww797 and risk becoming a vegetable? Buddy you are dense and clearly know nothing about head injuries
I’m so glad you have recovered to the point you have Daniel !! You have a great loving family too.
I was at the fight you were injured in. I am a nurse. I was astounded at the length of time it took to get you evaluated and then to the hospital. I kept telling my brother who was with me “they need to immediately get him to the hospital they are delaying way too long”. I was soooo frustrated. I compliment the Medical professionals who saved your life and later rehabilitated you. I’m so glad you made it Daniel !!
Glad my mentor and coach recovered
I'm glad he's doing OK and he manage to get a title which is what every boxer or fighter ever want... some are unlucky and never get 1. And like he say. Experience winning it and get he's hands rise up
If you look at the last three fights he had. All happened in less than three months, which is absolutely crazy to even do. He was mismanaged and he shouldn’t have never fought right away after his 1st fight in which he got knocked out. No wonder this happened to him, the brain isn’t supposed to take that much damage in such a short amount of time.
It’s cumulative anyway. Would a break have helped? Sure. But getting knocked out, IS brain damage. Youl never go back down to 0% brain damage. The rest may help. But it’l never fully heal.
A lot of these brain issues seem to happen with sub concussive damage. As in the person isn’t knocked out. Just jostled. Repeated, non knockout blows to the head seem to be devastating over the course of years.
This brain damage stuff is serious business. Anyone considering a pro career in any combat sport needs to seriously factor in these risks
He should have fought amateurs for atleast another few more years. You dont have a raw kid fighting bums in Tijuana at 19. I am just glad he took the same route as me, coaching now. Great way to stay in the sport, still fight but keep your head from getting broken
God loves you bro, max went through the same thing but didn’t make it. RIP MAX
Stay positive Daniel
May the true God Jesus Christ from the ORTHODOX christianity religion bless us!, btw Orthodox Christianity is the original and true form of christianity that Jesus taught us when he came to earth, and you can feel God through the holy mysteries after baptism , confession and holy communion in the orthodox christian church, something that completely changes your life and turns you into a happier person with a meaningful life and also saves you by strengthening your bond with God.

He is one of my coaches to this day. He is doing a lot better and isn’t slurring his words. He is somebody that i look up to in my life along with other fighters out of our gym
God bless this guy.

GOD is good. Daniel Franco .. your a true warrior brotha
Great to see that he’s flipped tha life changing experience into a positive one
Hey Daniel.....
It's Ivan Stovall....... hope you remember me. Used to train at Warzone a few years back I believe in 2015. I have so much respect for all the shiiit you went through my brotha........ proud of you no matter what..... i'm 40 and i'm still trying to get back in the ring. It's hard to leave this sport.... lol
Your luck is unbelievable most people become veggetable after that kind of damage
Daniel was my boxing coach at Cobra Kai (Joe's gym at the time). He was awesome! He taught me well. His Dad and brother were great coaches too.
This young man actually seems to be fine
Hes very well spoken and sharp
it’s not just speech, it also manifests in headaches, depression, memory loss and other such symptoms.
@@NatRantsgood point 🤔
Thank you for this! Your recovery is inspirational.
It's so good to see you recover Daniel. I went to school with your brother Mike and your family is highly regarded. Much respect to all of you.
Shit like this is why I do everything but spar. I box for fitness. I've nothing but respect for the warriors that get in the ring, but I can't do that shit.
I want to put my boy in boxing but watching these devastating stories makes me reluctant towards the sport.
Start them in grappling or judo or something like that
This only happened because of a bad ref and roc nation
RigbysAttic not really, it can happen to anybody. Boxing is a rough sport it’s not for everyone & one punch can be life changing.
The workout regime of boxing itself its really good for anybody, talk to the gym coach. I myself go to the gym rarely spar but it has given my tools to go on in life. Now, if you want him to compete that's another story...
do brazilian jiu-jitsu instead. no head trauma.
Man this sucks. I love to spar but brain damage scares me. That's why I only body spar in my art.
Some people dont like how I spar but I think it's worth it then getting dementia.
You can tell his speech has already slurred, even at his young age.
@@harorider96 yeah gotta box smart at all times but with strength
But if you already slurred and didn’t have good education like some of these fighters e.g Nate Diaz. How can you tell what’s brain damage and what’s not ?
Dude you're reaching
Whoever coached Danny never should have let him jump to pro without more of an amateur career, it is so damn important and why we now see Europeans who were amateurs till nearly 30 excelling.
I mean you have a 19 year old kid fighting bums in Tijuana. Just glad he is doing so well and coaching like me. You still get to box and you dont get hit as hard
You are a warrior. All the best to you.
Wow my name is also Daniel Franco.
No, its NotYourPlayer
Danny Frank
Im glad hes doing ok ive been following him since he called out mcgregor looks healthy again
Man IDC what anybody has to say this guy. A Fucking Soldier!!
Glad he’s ok man. It could’ve been worse. 💪💯
I already knows that my skull isn't made for that sport
I pray that all boxers have no long term health problems
Daniel , glad you recovered
It sucks when shit happens bro luckily you could have a good recovery
Inspire the others to be a even greater fighter than you once were , nurture the young ones
And tell them to protect themselves at all times
Boxing is indeed one of the most dangerous sports
Yup it is :(
Wow..wish you the best
I started doing Brazilian jiu-jitsu because of CTE. Avoid getting hit in the head, life is short, keep your brain safe!
It's good he shares this we look at boxing mma kickboxing muay thai and love a ko meanwhile cte is on the rise especially in mma stomping people out while already on the deck,the should ban that you dont do someone on the deck.
So glad he is here to tell the story.
I hope he wins his lawsuit.
idm4christ Jay Z has nothing to do with him getting brain damage.
finger paintings that’s the point. He did nothing. Daniel fought for roc nation expecting to help him out and what does he get? Nothing. Not a single call. Jay Z will only care about you if the money is coming in but as soon as it stops, he will abandon you. That’s why he’s such a waste of human life. He let the fame change him.
Thats fucking crazy what he survived most guys end up in the helmet forever or end up slow or have some sort of neurological disorder the only problem he seems to have is sometimes when he was talking there was a slur or like a slowed delayed moment in sentence hes like not slow mentally at all but you can tell theres a slur in speech a bit fuck it some of the master class boxers have slurs god bless that guy
This fight actually ended two careers. Nobody will step into the ring with Jose anymore, either. He's had multiple fighters agree to fights and then pull out a few months before they were supposed to fight.
This title win was supposed to jumpstart Jose's career and instead, it ended it because of this result.
Why because they're scared?
how did he survive all that?
You can see how hollow his strength is now
🙏🏻🙏🏻🇺🇸
I was there on the undercarriage. He kept hitting you with some crazy ridiculous uppercut. You were coo when you left. You waved at everyone and everything
Could have been so much worse for him. I mean,just think of Pritchard Colon. Such a shame.
Daniel franco last fight
Boxing is terrible.
Y doesn't he start fighting again? He looks fine.
Not a good idea with an injury that severe. Brains don't truely heal and the damage shows up later. I personally think it is worth the risk to get injured but not worth it to continue after an injury. I tend to get obssessed with training but the truth is there is more to life than just fighting
Dosen’t work like that. His head needs peace if you could say it like that
nick blackwell seemed fine after his brain injury in his fight with eubank even did an interview on tv and sounded complelety normal he then went and sparred again and u should seem him now
Can u see into his mental state? Then u don’t know he’s fine. Just like with any mental health illness just because u look fine people expect u to be normal when in fact u can’t help the way u are. God bless us all.
He looks fine but if he takes another hit to the head he will probably die. He also has no sponsor anymore so that's a problem too
Lol he got rocked he beat a bunch of nobodies and got sat down by a real fighter
You act like that a good thing. Danny got beat so bad that nobody will fight Jose anymore. Both their careers are over because of this fight. You people always brag about how jose is a "real fighter" when to be one people have to actually go into the ring with you.
@@johnfingkennedy1091 Jose? Sorry I'm new to gis story
I’m not even a boxer and I would enter the ring with Jose haro lol dude is not scary at all.
@@asherweck Yeah. Ok tough guy...
@@dpatanduk1 easy.
