Thanks to the generosity of fight fans when the hat was passed around during the ?One More Time? fight card in which stylish Z ?The Dream? Gorres scored a shutout 100-90 win over resilient Kenyan Nick Otieno, the family of the late Dommy Ursua was able to bury him on Sunday.

The wife of Ursua who fought for the world bantamweight title but lost by an eleventh round stoppage against Mexican great Raul ?Raton? Macias and lost a fifteen round decision to flyweight champion Pascual Perez of Argentina received the donation at the fights.

Respected boxing promoter Tony Aldeguer invited Ms. Ursua, the former Rosita Ramos to the Waterfront to receive the donation in an emotional moment. She was in tears as she received the money and thanked those who helped.
