Boxer Paco Rodriguez, the former Golden Gloves champ known to Chicago fans as “Kid Aztec” collapsed in the ring in front of his father and brother, two former boxers working the corner as his managers. He had suffered fatal injuries at the end of a brutal slugfest with another fighter on November 22, 2009. He died but his death brought life to 5 people who were able to live because of the organs he donated. One of these five is our friend Meaghan Kingsley, who received a liver transplant. Meaghan suffers from NF2.
