Videotape shows deadly Toughman bout
June 25, 2003 | ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) -- A woman who died after a Toughman amateur boxing match was hit repeatedly in the head even after she walked on wobbly legs to her corner, a videotape of the match reportedly shows.
The tape shows Stacy Young, a mother of two, taking several blows to the head and being unable to defend herself before she collapsed June 14, the St. Petersburg Times reported Wednesday. The tape, reviewed by a Times reporter, includes shouts from the crowd for the fight to stop, the paper said.
Young, 30, was declared brain dead two days after the match, which her family said she entered on a whim. Police are investigating.
The Times reported the tape shows that as Young headed to the safety of her corner, her opponent, 20-year-old Sarah Kobie, followed and threw three punches to Young's head.
Young collapsed and suffered a seizure while her family -- including her young daughters -- watched.
