Magomed Abdusalamov is in Self-Induced Coma
He showed immeasurable heart in that fight. Hope he is ok.
Damn... a blot clot in the brain. I hope he makes it through this serious condition.
Rick Reeno got the title of the boxingscene article wrong (as he often does) but I see they've corrected in now to "medically-induced coma".
They need an editor just for Reeno. Terrible writing.
Hope he gets better because he showed us a great fight last night. God knows if he'll ever compete in boxing again with a blood clot though.
Excuse my spelling Hidden Content
We love boxing, then something terrible like this happens.
It puts all this 'so and so sucks' in perspective...
It is a terrible shock for me when this sort of thing happens at Heavyweight, as I personally ignorantly believe these things happen because fighters are weight drained.
I hope everything works out well for Abdusalamov.

Dammit man! Hate hearing this but I'm hoping that heart will pull him and his family through again and it's precautionary.
I hope he pulls through OK with no lasting damage. They say it is precautionary and there are more important things than boxing for him now. Like Spicoli said, the guy has a huge heart and lets pray that helps get him through this.
Damn, something didn't seem right... He was taking a tonne of punishment and relatively speaking it didn't seem to affect him... Not visibly anyway.
One tough battle, I'm sure he'll pull through. Sounds more precautionary.
Boxing is the art of hitting without being hit. If you're going to fight in that style of walking forward face first and swinging, you're asking for trouble. There's nothing cool about getting punched in the head a lot. Hopefully he pulls through.
a medically induced coma is more than preventative. Unfortunately I have been put in one. I came out alright and I hope this gentleman does as well. Very bad situation.
Yeah, it's not something they do just in case. From what I know medically induced basically means drug induced, in that it's controlled and reversible if you take away the barbiturates or whatever they use. The idea is that the brain will require less energy so areas that weren't getting enough blood flow will have a chance to heal as the swelling goes down etc.
Incredible HW fight and hope for the best possibly recovery, but this could be pretty serious as the punishment he took certainly was.
Hoping he comes out alright and given this turn of events, and for Mago and his family's sake..... it's time to look for another line of work.
What really gets me with this kind of situation was listening to Max Kellerman and Lampley gushing about how this was how fighters should fight, how this was true skill, ect. How guys like Klitschko could learn a thing or two from guys like Magomed. It really is a bastardization of the art of boxing.
What happened last night was an entertaining BRAWL, where Magomed showed virtually no defense or head movement of any kind. A guy who decided to take punches just because he can. That's how guys end up with dementia in their early 40s, or even worse getting killed or seriously hurt in the ring.
I hope Magomed pulls through but goddamn. You can't have it both ways. You can't expect a guy to shuffle forward face first and eat flush punches to the head all night, then get sad when he gets hurt in the ring or ends up punch drunk.
