    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.

    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.

    That's the way I always thought about the Gatti and Ward fights. Hopefully we find out he'll be OK.
    I'd rather they quit in the corner than read this.

    Same as on the weight drained theory but it is very rare a Heavyweight in this condition soon after a fight, its usually a huge factor a fighter being weight drained the fluid surrounding the brain depleted due to dehydration so making the brain less protected to being shaken about.
    Just one of those things really and fighters at much lighter weights often used to fight 3-4 times a month in equally brutal fights and over more rounds back in the day and not suffer at all.
    Boxing is a brutal sport with the highest reward given to the guy who can , A- knock his opponent down (10-8 round) or , B- Knockout (fight over) his opponent and ultimately is what pugilism is and has always been about, if it wasn't the rules would be different. , The Russian chose to fight that way or was trained badly to ;-) and had no defence at all, suffered a broken hand and nose ,was badly swollen about the face and was repeatedly asking his corner if he was injured during rounds... thats shit cornermen imo and maybe they should have thrown in the towel.

    I admire the sweet science , whipping him on points etc side of the sport but I think when it really comes down it the majority of real fight fans wanna see a proper tear up .
    I know I do.
    Strange how a thread I started about Francisco Leal dying after some seriously suspect aftercare by the ref/paramedics recieves no attention at all.
    The guy was visibly dying live on tv slumped against the ringpost ;-)

    Whats more brutal... seeing that or a 10 round slugfest?
