Been watching this show every week, the the final fights have show great heart by the boxers every week, but i was shocked after tonights show to find out one of the boxers Najai Turpin commited suicide. Leaving behind his wife and very young daughter. The show have distanced themselfs by saying his suicide had nothing to do with the show.

Damn man... I just watched the re-run and was sad enough when he lost because he thought he'd let his family down... the fact that this then happened is ****ed, this isn't supposed to happen... Shed a tear for him.

I knew that one of them was going to commit suicide but didn't think it would be him.
He left his wonderful daughter behind which saddens me the most.
It's a great shame.

The look on the guys face when ever his daughter was present is the only thing I think will make this any easier, she will have a reminder that no matter what demons or issues Najai had he did love her.
It's not always enough though
