Sad to hear this as this young man can fight.

The two-time national champion from Capitol Heights, Md., was found unconscious and severely dehydrated early Friday morning, U.S. coach Dan Campbell said. Russell's roommate, light flyweight Luis Yanez, alerted the American coaches shortly after Russell returned from a run in a final effort to reach his 119-pound weight limit.

He was trying to cut from the 125 class down to 119... he would have slaughtered in that division.
