Dadashev suffers brain injury in IBF fight with Matias

[ykdadamaja]

These brain injuries are piling up regularly these days. The authorities need to investigate this.

Sadly Maxim Dadashev has passed away.

"Super lightweight prospect Maxim Dadashev has sadly passed away due to injuries sustained last Friday night in his eleventh round stoppage loss to Subriel Matias at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. The native of St. Petersburg, Russia had come to call the area of Oxnard, California home since making his professional debut in the spring of 2016. Dadashev (13-1, 11 KO’s) was unable to answer the bell for the final round of his IBF super lightweight eliminator against Matias shortly after his trainer, recent International Boxing Hall of Fame inductee James “Buddy” McGirt stopped the contest.

The bout, which was televised on the streaming platform ESPN+, showed Dadashev leaving the ring under his own power, yet collapsing almost immediately thereafter. The 28-year-old boxer known as “Mad Max” was then taken to UM Prince George’s Hospital Center in nearby Cheverly, Maryland and underwent a surgical procedure to relieve bleeding on his brain before being placed in a medically induced coma. We at Boxing.com extend our deepest sympathies and heartfelt thoughts to the Dadashev family and team"

Tragic news this, you could see he was in serious trouble when he was sat down after the 11th with no response to McGirt saying he was gonna stop the fight.
The promoters won't like it but when the fuck are they gonna introduce mandatory pre fight scans and safer still scans between rounds that take under a minute using these handheld devices.
You'd never send a Footballer or Sprinter out into a game with a fractured or broken leg so why risk a fighters actual life sending him in there without a brain scan, it's fact that in most cases the damage is done in sparring.
Seems crazy in 2019 that still nothing more is being done to try and save young fighters lives.

This is why it's cringey when fighters say "I'm ready to die in the ring" and why I'm not as critical of guys quitting as most others seem to be. This game ain't no mfing joke.



Yes - Buddy McGirt pulled him out, but it was too late. Maybe buddy's thinks every one of his fighters has Arturo Gatti recouprative skills. But in no way was it McGirt's fault.

I think it's time for boxing to take a serious look at bringing back same day weigh ins. This will force these guys to fight closer to their natural weight. It looked like a 154 pounder vs a 140 pounder in the ring. Some boxers just can't rehydrate after losing all that weight. Taking punches to the head after that can have devastating affects on the brain. Matias was like a terminator. He threw almost well over 1200 punches in just 11 rounds, including (edit: nearly 900, 881 to be exact) 900 power punches, stalking Dadashev for every second of every round.

Also no oxygen and no ice pack on Dadashev's head ? Scandalous in this day and age.

Special thoughts for Matias too. Even the toughest no-heart mofo will be devastated by that outcome. Will he be the same after this ? Boom Boom, Ray Robinson, Emile Griffith all said they were never the same and though their fights with McClellan and Watson were not fatal, Nigel Benn Chris Eubank were never the same

It boggles the mind to think that as this man's brain was in the process of dying, he was still arguing with his trainer to continue on with the fight. Unbelievable. My prayers and thoughts go out to his family. Hopefully they get compensated financially to the max.
