Reports: Glen Tapia Rushed To Trauma Center After In-Ring Bludgeoning

I woke up this morning and the first thing I did was search Tapia's name, hoping that we wouldn't have another Abdusalamov situation, and found this.

Hopefully Tapia is fine, but his corner should be ashamed of themselves. Glen is a young kid who CLEARLY got overwhelmed and punched himself out early. He was completely gassed, bloody and defeated, and his corner kept throwing him out there to take more unnecessary punishment.

Even when the doctor came to examine a clearly defeated, concussed Tapia, his asshole trainer kept yelling "tell him you're fine and you wanna continue, Glen". I think it was pretty obvious to anyone who knows anything about boxing that Glen was done after at least round 3, and took at least 3 rounds of unneeded head trauma.

I'd be hard pressed to think of a more uncaring, sadistic corner. I had no issue with Abdusalamov's corner, because Abdusalamov was always in the fight, always throwing punches and moving forward. Nothing about his body language suggested he was a defeated man who needed to be protected. Glen's body language screamed "STOP THE FIGHT".

These kinds of uncaring fucks are going to get people killed in the ring, and eventually are going to start discussions for having boxing banned.

SHAME!

EDIT: Apparently he was released without issue, but I stick by what I said. He took way too much punishment and who knows what kind of effects that will have on him down the road.
