Patrick Day in critical condition

[Denilson-The-Comeback]

This shit is gonna keep happening until they fking stop letting fighters cut to make weight. Make them weigh in within 2 lbs of the limit when they show up to the venue for the fight and you won't see as many of these so-called 'accidents'. The extreme weight cutting and dehydration weakens the body and brain

You never or rarely see this in the heavyweight division .......think about that

And that's despite how hard they hit. Why ? Because heavyweights aren't dehydrating themselves to near death the day before the weigh in so they can cheat their way into a lower weight class.

All these fighters and comas ? It's like boxing is on a streak right now. But medical science has improved as it wasn't that long ago that fighters were instantly hauled up onto a stool, or even upright, instead of told to 'stay down' and take their time. Now we know that immediate oxygen and even induced coma is a good way to stabilize the situation and reduce movement that might cause additional swelling.

But from what I heard he basically needs a miracle as he hasn’t woke up since being taken in the ambulance.

I don't mean to sound like the grim reaper but the fact that he never regained consciousness after being KO'ed is crucial.

It's starting to sound like he's brain dead.

The weird thing is that is the exact reason they changed to day before weigh ins. They thought it was safer. It’s insane that they think that. It just allows fighters to drain themselves even more.

Again tragic news. We should always respect these warriors who have put their lives at risk for entertainment

[powerpuncher]

It is official. Patrick Day died.

[walrus]

It is official. Patrick Day died.

Holy cow that is absolutely horrible. Makes me feel guilty I watched the fight.

[TitoFan]

Yeah, that is absolutely tragic. Poor guy never even regained consciousness. I feel horribly for his family and friends. R.I.P. Patrick.
