Magomed Abdusalamov

Says here he's awake, is that old news? http://blogs.wsj.com/metropolis/2013/11/22/injured-boxer-magomed-abdusalamov-wakes-from-coma/

 

I agree!! even if I have said differently in the past. I admit I was wrong, don't kill yourself for our entertainment. at least in team sports, they are far better cared for these days.

 

We all boxing fans hope and pray Mago will be okay but I would not want to see that guy in same state than G-man...

 

A part of me as cruel as it sounds hopes he passes away peacefully rather than live a life of agony not only for himself, but the burden he will place on his family..

 

I hear you...if he were to survive now, he most likely would live life as a vegetable....The whole thing's just depressing and sad. Really feel for his family, especially his kids.

 

Anyone know how big Mago is doing?


I wish the Abdusalamov family nothing but the best, I hope he can recover.

 

damn still can't believe what happened to mago! I hope for miracle.

 

I dont think you can blame the corner or the officials. It was a competative fight and he never really looked completely out of his depth. Very sad.

has perez commented atall? I hope hes ok aswell.

 

He said he was praying for Abdusalamov, in a released statement.

We all hope Mago can recover and live life, it's not supposed to end this way. :-(

 

Thats the thing Magomed was landing hard punches til the end just Perez's chin held up

Wasnt a massively one sided fight like how Provodnikov vs Alvarado got at the end Mago still had the chance to pull the upset, in a big fight like that its hard to pull your fighter out

 

Best wishes

"Magomed Abdusalamov back in coma

Injured heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov was placed back on a life support machine and returned to a medically induced coma by doctors on Friday night after his temperature rose to 103 degrees, promoter Nathan Lewkowicz of Sampson Boxing told ESPN.com.

It appeared as though Abdusalamov's condition was beginning to improve on Thursday when he began breathing on his own and was removed from life support before doctors took him out of a medically induced coma on Friday.


But a few hours after being roused from the coma, Abdusalamov took a turn for the worse.

"His temperature shot up to 103, so his body wasn't ready yet (to come out of the coma), so they put him back on life support and (into) the medically induced coma," Lewkowicz said. "Terrible setback. No clue when they are trying to bring him out again."

The 32-year-old Abdusalamov, a married father of three young daughters, has been at Roosevelt Hospital in New York since Nov. 2, when he suffered a brain injury and had subsequent surgery to remove a blood clot after losing a 10-round unanimous decision to Mike Perez in a brutal slugfest in an HBO-televised fight at the Theater at Madison Square Garden.

Doctors thought that Abdusalamov, who suffered a stroke shortly after he was initially put into a coma, was going to die. But he eventually began to show signs of improvement before this latest setback. He had been put into the medically induced coma as a way to give the swelling in his brain time to subside.

Abdusalamov suffered superficial injuries during the fight, including a broken nose, broken hand, cuts and bruises. But when he began to have a headache and vomited after the bout, his team took him to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, he had a CT scan, which revealed the blood clot, and he was rushed into surgery.

The Abdusalamov camp has raised questions about whether the New York State Athletic Commission properly examined him after the fight, and the New York State Inspector General is investigating the situation, according to the New York Daily News."

 

Best wishes. I hope the next time they wake him, he will be able to hug and kiss his wife and daughters.

 

Great news. We all wish him a speedy recovery and return to the squared circle.
