He's been in a coma for two months his eyes are open today for the first time. Oscar has been comatose since his bout with Delvin Rodriguez on July 16 and underwent emergency surgery for severe swelling and bleeding of the brain. University Hospital officials say he's now awake, off the ventilator and upgraded from critical to stable condition.
Oscar's doctor and his family will hold a press conference today at the hospital. Meanwhile, this is a great start in the long, long recovery back.

Nice man. I hope he recovers 100%. It will hopefully be a sad story with a happy ending.
Great news.
Great news,the family is doing a Press Conference today
Is David Haye going to try to fight him?
Glad to hear
Related to all of this, what is the insurance policies that the promotors are required to keep???
I mean regardless this had to be over the limit and bankrupted Oscar.
Just to get the fight in to the ring they usually have to carry a 10K bond and insuranceQuote:

This is GREAT!!!! :happy0931sb4:
Everything is possible with the power of prayers...
This is fantastic news!!!
I can't wait to hear what the doctors say later on. Hopefully he'll have a full recovery.
I remember when our little crew here, was watching the fight together, we were all kind of stunned when he crumpled the way he did. Little did we know then, that it would take 2 months to finally get some good news on him.
Thank God.
Good to hear, I hope he makes a full recovery and doesn't have any permanent brain damage.

It's great to see these kinds of posts.
It's great in the sense he's not gonna die but he'll never fight again, prob has no education and will spend the rest of his days poor and depressed.
He may never function properly again bit like Paul Ingle eh "Violet denise so maybe they'll wheel him out to face Amir Khan next...:owned:" "I believe some of our US friends equate this phrase to our very own phrase of :beat:"
:beat:" Yes. Like what they are doing to me on the U.S. stock market. I believe the phrase is universal! ;D
Outstanding stuff.Makes the day,hope he pulls together and has many many years with the family to come.
It is great news. I have been praying for him and his family every night since it happend.Quote:

Here is more detailed information about his current condition, what has happened (he came close to death 3 times), and the long road he still has to go.
Let's still keep him in our prayers guys, because he is going to need it.
Diaz awake, breathing on his own
That's great news, but a really sad story. Hopefully he can recover as fully as possible.Quote:
