Death

edit

He collapsed after the end of an 8-round bout with Marc Joseph Costa in Caloocan, Philippines. The match had ended with a majority draw, the sole blemish on an earlier perfect 8-0-0 record with 6 KOs.[1]

Maquinto was rushed to FEU Hospital in Quezon City. He was diagnosed with subdural hematoma (bleeding on the brain).[2] Tests showed that a blood clot had developed in his brain as a result of blows received in the first round of the fight. Maquinto went into a coma; he died five days later in the hospital.
