Oscar Diaz rushed to hospital

This is sad, we were talking about this in the WNF thread. I'm going to repost my comment here, in case no one reads it in that thread.


When that happened last night, I just looked at Diaz, and immediately thought that he looked as bad as Victor Burgos did last year. I even teared up a bit, because I knew it wasn't good, but I kept holding out hope that he was fine, even though Danny kept telling me the kid was probably going to need brain surgery, and I told him to stop talking like that.

Then I get up this morning to find out how bad it is. I just pray, that he is able to make a full recovery. Thank God the medics jumped in there quickly, and got him out of there.

I would like to add, however, I don't know what the hell his corner was thinking by trying to convince the ref that he was okay to continue. His eye was pretty much swollen shut, he looked out of it, and he was behind on the cards. Why would they take that chance? His corner should have stopped that fight.

The fact the medics were so fast getting oxygen to him will be a huge help
Similar to the York Hall in London really....when a fighter goes down heavily and is in trouble they leap into the ring within about 10 seconds and get the mask on him sharpish.
Good too see.

I'll say a prayer for him..
