LAS VEGAS (AP) -- Veteran boxer Leavander Johnson underwent brain surgery and was in critical condition Saturday night after collapsing in his dressing room following his IBF lightweight title loss against challenger Jesus Chavez.
Johnson's promoter said doctors told him the fighter's brain swelled during surgery and they were inducing a coma to try and control it.
"He's not in good shape," Lou DiBella said.
