Even though we had the permanent medical care from the promotions staff and the Irish hospital, to whom we thank for the support  of this tough moment, and even though we know the risks of this sport, Joao Carvalho's passing is in my professional point of view, unfortunate, and makes us, his family, and the entire Nobrega team-- which followed Joao Carvlho his entire career, which gained notoriety nationwide and internationally-- saddened and heartbroken."
