Magomed Abdusalamov....a true warrior, neglected & forgotten.

[Max Power]

Magomed Abdusalamov. remember that name?
He is the Russian guy who almost died to put on a good show for us boxing fans. and put on a show he did. he showed great heart, courage, a great chin, and a pretty damn good punch too. Unfortunately he suffered horrible brain injury in that unreal fight against Perez in nov 2013. pretty much left a vegetable because the dumbass promoter/or ringside doctor would not stop the fight. They wanted their dramatic ending.
well, they got it. and now a good man/credit to the sport will probably die.
I love a good brutal fight as much as the next man, but in that fight, i found myself yelling aloud "stop the fight" to no one. it was beyond brutal. no one should have taken that beating, and NO DOCTOR or PROMOTER should have let it go near that long!

In my opinion, they should be held responsible for what happened. Yes, boxing is a dangerous sport and you should expect injuries, but for someones head to get beaten thaaaat bad, for thaaaat long IS WRONG!! They should have to pay all doctor bills and help Magomeds family. bastards!

UPDATE??
I caught the last bit of something on friday night fights that said Magomed almost died again. does anyone have any info on this? can't seem to find any news on the fallen warrior. They showed a picture of Magomed and it was frikkin' terrible & very heartbreaking.

Sending prayers to Magomed & family....

It's a sad situation for Magomed that's for sure, and a disgusting lack of responsibility on behalf of the ref, doctors and trainer involved.

I almost could not believe what I saw.

I think that a fighter should be given the benefit of the doubt at high level. But there is that line where health must become a priority, and the fighter is there to fight, because he is a fighter. It is the responsibility of the officials and corner to protect the fighters. And they all failed Magomed.

Prayers to Magomed and his family for sure!!

No One has yet mentioned the MSG "Staff" who told him to get a Taxi to the hospital when he complained of serious head pains after the fight and was pissing blood and vomiting

Where was the Ambulance?

The court papers say Abdusalamov, who absorbed 312 punches, was advised by state officials to go to a hospital when he urinated blood after the fight, but an ambulance was not provided.
The severely injured boxer and his frightened family were forced to find a cab outside the entertainment venue during rush hour, the court papers say.

They call it the "Golden Hour" when a fighter gets serious brain injuries/blood clots and the chances of saving them from being a cripple are good if you can get them into hospital within that time.

I thought MSG was the Mecca of Boxing so why was there such a lack of staff and medical help available and why did he have to make his own way to hospital in a Taxi.

This was 2013 not the 1950's ffs.

A real fighters gonna fight regardless of facial injuries, fuck me what do some of you think these guys are in there for... a tickling contest?

It's a Brutal, Brutal combat sport where the aim is to knock your opponent unconscious so he is unable to carry on!

For me ALL the blame should go on the venue and their lack of facilities.
