==Death==
Immediately following the bout with Montiel, Alcazar was declared healthy by ringside doctors, with no visible signs of any [[Physical trauma|trauma]]. He went sightseeing the day after the fight and was in his hotel room getting ready to fly back to Panama when he collapsed. He was taken to hospital, where he died.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lasvegassun.com/news/2002/jun/25/mgm-fighter-collapses-dies/|title=MGM fighter collapses, dies|date=25 June 2002 |publisher=Las Vegas Sun|access-date=2024-06-13}}</ref>

This was the first time in boxing history that a boxer is known to have collapsed so long after the end of a fight. The boxing authorities have discussed compulsory medical testing for boxers up to 48 hours after a fight finishes, longer than heretofore. There was already concern following the [[Michael Watson]] case, which in the United Kingdom established the principle that the authorities have a wide responsibility for the [[Occupational safety and health|health and safety]] of boxers (and also spectators). Alcazar's death highlighted the manner in which it can take an extended time before potentially life-threatening symptoms present themselves.

He was a protégé of the legendary Hall of Famer [[Roberto Durán]], who was a [[pallbearer]] at his [[funeral]].
