Camarillo (6-0, 1 KO), a 21-year-old three-time national amateur champion from Coachella, California, trapped Sio against the ropes and landed a series of punches \u2014 body shots followed by right and left hands to the head \u2014 that left Sio unconscious. The stoppage came 78 seconds into the first round.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/danrafael.substack.com\/p\/isis-sio-novice-female-junior-flyweight\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">veteran boxing reporter Dan Rafael<\/a>, Sio was convulsing after going down and was treated in the ring for several minutes before being transported by stretcher to Loma Linda, a Level 1 trauma center located approximately five miles from the venue.<\/p>\n<p>What Led to Saturday Night<\/p>\n<p>Sio (1-3), from Dickinson, North Dakota, was competing 50 days after a first-round knockout loss to Perla Bazaldua on January 30 in Long Beach, California. That stoppage came from body punches. Saturday\u2019s bout was her second consecutive knockout defeat.<\/p>\n<p>California State Athletic Commission regulations require a minimum 30-day medical suspension for a boxer who has been knocked out, with the specific length determined by the ringside physician. Sio\u2019s return fell within the commission\u2019s allowable window.<\/p>\n<p>Rafael also reported that Sio\u2019s three previous professional fights were contested at junior bantamweight, two weight classes above the junior flyweight limit at which Saturday\u2019s bout was scheduled.<\/p>\n<p>Sio turned professional in 2025. She won her second bout by unanimous decision over Katelyn Radtka after dropping her debut to Jessica Radtke Maltez. The back-to-back knockout losses to Bazaldua and Camarillo followed.<\/p>\n<p>Statements<\/p>\n<p>ProBox TV released a statement Sunday: \u201cOn behalf of CEO Garry Jonas and the entire ProBox family we are praying for a speedy recovery for Isis Sio. Ms. Sio is currently in a medically induced coma. Our thoughts are with her and her family at this very difficult time. Please join us in wishing for a full recovery.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Camarillo, who told video reporter Elie Seckbach after the fight and before Sio\u2019s condition was known that she felt both happy and \u201ca little bit of guilt,\u201d later posted on Instagram: \u201cNothing but respect.
