A teenage kickboxer died from a brain hemorrhage one day after being knocked unconscious during a match in Thailand on Saturday night.
Anucha Tasako, 13 was hit with five punches in quick succession by his opponent Nitikron Sonde, also 13, in the bout in Samut Prakan.
Anucha was already struggling and been knocked down earlier in the match when the five-punch combo almost sent him crashing out of the ring.

Anucha Tasako, 13, died on Sunday after being hit with five punches in quick succession by his opponent Nitikron Sonde, also 13, in the bout in Samut Prakan the first (left) and second (right) punches pinned him against the ropes
Mobile phone footage from specators shows Anucha - who was not wearing protective headgear - being pinned against the ropes by two right hooks, then being knocked-out by a third.
The referee watches as Anucha's limp body is hit with yet another right hook, followed by a left-hook that sends him flying to the ground.
The teenager was rushed to Bang Chak Hospital with a severe head injury and later he transferred to Samut Prakan Hospital.
The third punch (left) knocked 13-year-old Anucha out, but was still followed almost immediately by a fourth right hook
He was diagnosed with a severe intracerebral haemorrhage, which is caused by bleeding within the brain tissue itself and is a life-threatening type of stroke, and died the next day.
His death has reignited controversy over the sport of Muay Thai - a combat martial art sport played in Thailand, that is sometimes referred to as the 'Art of Eight Limbs' because players can use eight 'points of contact' (punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes).
It is less regulated than other contact sports like boxing, which uses 'two points' (fists) and kickboxing, which uses 'four points' (hands and feet).
Muay Thai fighters start from a young age - motivated by dreams of glory and wealth.
The final punch, a left hook, sends Anucha crashing to the ground and almost knocks him out of the ring. He died the following day
Opponents say the sport is dangerous and can cause serious injuries to children. Thailand's Mahidol University published a study last month which said that allowing children under 15 to box could result in various types of brain damage.
But Sukrit Parekrithawet, a lawyer who represents several boxing training camps, said fighters need to start young in order to develop 'boxing bones'.
He said: 'If you don't allow younger players to learn their way up, how can they be strong and experienced enough to fight? 'We call it 'boxing bones.' You need to have boxing bones built from a very young age.'
Thai politicians are considering legislation proposed last month banning children younger than 12 from competitive boxing.

Thais have reacted with shock and anger after Tasako died during a charity bout, reviving calls for a ban on fights between children in the brutal Muay Thai martial art
The legislation has been forwarded to the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, which has already drafted a revised version.
Anucha, who had been a Muay Thai boxer from the age of eight and competed in 170 matches, had lost his parents and was being brought up by his uncle.
The uncle, Damrong Thasako, 48, said the boy had taken up boxing to pay for his schooling and to help out with household expenses.
Nitikron Sonde, Anucha's young opponent, said he was following his instincts and did not know his punches would kill someone.
He said: 'I had never wanted this to happen. I am sad, but when in the boxing ring, I had to do my best. If I was weak, it would have been me who was attacked.'
The victor and other winning boxers have decided to auction off their boxing shorts to raise funds for Anucha's family. Nitikron also said he would get ordained as a novice monk in dedication to Anucha.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
