A su corta edad, logro alcanzar su sueño, pero la alegría le duro muy poco, ya que durante una pelea contra Terrell Williams el 17 de Octubre del 2015 , su carrera fue truncada. Dicha pelea duro 9 rounds, durante los primeros episodios, Colón, era el favorito. En los episodios medios, Williams, tomo ventaja, durante la pelea ambos boxeadores fueron penalizados, donde Williams le propino a Colón golpes bajos, llamados golpes de conejo, pero en el 7mo rounds, Williams, logro algo que ningún boxeador había podido hacer contra Colón, el cual fue tumbarlo. En el 9no round, Williams, llevo a Colón dos veces a la lona y con duras penas Colón pudo terminar ese rounds; le quitaron los guantes pensando que era el rounds final, pero no fue así. Colón, al no salir al décimo rounds perdió por descalificación. Una vez terminada la pelea, la mamá de Colón trato de sentarlo en una silla y este comenzó a caerse y a vomitar. Su mamá le preguntaba como se sentía y el le respondió: "Mami estoy mareado y no puedo ver". Por tal motivo, fue trasladado de emergencias al hospital donde los médicos determinaron que los golpes le provocaron una hemorragia cerebral que lo dejo en coma por 221 días, dejándolo en un estado vegetativo persistente, lo único que Prichard puede hacer independientemente es respirar. Su mamá no puede dejarlo, solo tiene un tubo para alimentarlo, posee una bolsa de colostomía para sus necesidades fisiológicas.

At his young age, he achieved his dream, but the joy was short-lived, because during a fight against Terrell Williams on October 17, 2015, his career was cut short. That fight lasted 9 rounds, during the first episodes, Colon was the favorite. In the middle episodes, Williams, took advantage, during the fight both boxers were penalized, where Williams gave Colon low blows, called rabbit punches, but in the 7th round, Williams, achieved something that no boxer had been able to do against Colon, which was to knock him down. In the 9th round, Williams, took Colon to the canvas twice and with difficulty Colon was able to finish that round; they took the gloves off thinking it was the final round, but it was not so. Colón, not coming out for the tenth round, lost by disqualification. Once the fight was over, Colón's mother tried to sit him in a chair and he began to fall down and vomit. His mother asked him how he was feeling and he answered: "Mommy, I'm dizzy and I can't see". For this reason, he was rushed to the hospital where doctors determined that the blows caused a cerebral hemorrhage that left him in a coma for 221 days, leaving him in a persistent vegetative state, the only thing Prichard can do independently is breathe. His mother cannot leave him, she only has a tube to feed him, and he has a colostomy bag for his physiological needs.

The love, dedication and perseverance of a mother for her son never ends and what more proof of love than this.

Toda la familia de Colón, siente y lamenta lo sucedido, rezando para que Colón un día no muy lejano pueda levantarse de esa silla de ruedas y volver hacer el de antes. Colón, a raíz de todo lo que ha pasado es privilegiado, ya que tiene a todos sus seres queridos a su lado, los cuales día con día ayudan a los padres de Prichard a darle una mejor calidad de vida y luchan incansablemente porque este salga adelante.

Colón's entire family is sorry for what has happened, praying that one day soon Colón will be able to get out of that wheelchair and return to his old self. Colón, as a result of everything that has happened, is privileged, since he has all his loved ones by his side, who day by day help Prichard's parents to give him a better quality of life and fight tirelessly so that he can move forward.
