Magomed Abdusalamov

Sounds like he's in really desperate shape.

My heart goes out to him and his family, I wish him a full recovery.

Goes to show our sport is brutal.

 

Sucks man...

 

You left out the part about you being "1 **** poster". Boxing is tough sport, a damned if you do, damned if you don't sport. A sport where you pull yourself out of a fight, you are labeled a "quitter", keep fighting and you a big hearted fan favorite or in a coma. **** happens.

And by the way it is "career".

 

Cheap shot on your part. It was a entertaining fight. Sluggers have always been a fan and network favorite.

 

This fight had all the makings of a tragedy, he was issuing concerns to his corner early on, he was taking relentless shots to his head, his head was swollen, he couldnt defend himself. The fight should have been stopped early. Boxing has inherent risk but people should be better trained to spot the signs of something seriously wrong. Hope he recovers.

 

Wishing Abdusalamov the best is an understatement right now. Really hope his condition improves.

His employers are the promotors of the fight.

 

Whether by law or not they should do it to show there human side.

 

Yes, they should pay his hospital bills..................there was around $53,000 collected at the WBC convention. Sergio Martinez said he would give............

 

That's not black & white. I can work for somebody and still be my own employer as a contractor. I get a 1099 not a w-2. I'm responsible for all taxes, etc. The fact that most promoters have a fighter sign a contract probably means they are 1099 not w-2.

 

All this medical bill talk. Should be the last thing people are worried about right now. They are gonna treat him regardless. Worry about the bill later an worry about him now. Goes to show it's all about money with those promoters

 

Any news on his condition?

 

Yes.
News about Mago's whole situation
According to german BILD, Mago's terrible situation could have been avoided. Apparently, the ring doctors failed.
(I try to translate it as close as possible)
"This story is hard to believe!
In a blood fight for 10 rounds, russian heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov was beaten to a pulp by Cuban boxer Mike Perez. After brain surgery, doctors had to put him in an induced coma. After that, Abdusalamov suffered a stroke and right now he still is in a coma and still in intensive care.
Now it comes out: It didn't really have to come to that!
Reports in "New York Post" say that one Dr only took a urine sample off Mago after the fight. Another doc asked him to count to five and recommended to go to a hospital.
Magos Manager Grinberg said: "He didn't get any attention and no ambulance".
Instead, Mago and his manager drove 30 blocks to the nearest hospital - by taxi! That cost Abdusalamov a lot of very valuable time.
While waiting at the hospital, Mago threw up a few times and finally passed out. Only after that the docs found the blood clot in his brain, they instantly induced a emergency surgery.
Abdusalamovs promoter, Nathan Lewkowicz, who just founded a donation account for him, said: It's possible that he will never come out of the coma. And it's also possible that he will be awake within the next weeks. Nobody knows""

Wow, sad stuff, really!
