Maxim Dadashev dies from injuries sustained

From now on, can we not call fighters quitters ever

Like Rigo vs Loma, if he stayed in that fight and went 12 rounds of punishment against the obviously bigger and better man who knows what could have happened

Instead he protected his health and got unlimited amounts of abuse on this forum because of it

If a fighter wants to quit dont hold it against him, quitting is bettter than the alternative which is risking your long term health

 

i think a blood pressure check would have shown it to be dangerously high and would have prompted an immediate trip to the hospital, where he may have gotten the attention in time to save him. im no medical pro, though, just lashing out from frustration.

 

This sucks.

I don't think there was a point in the fight up until the 11th where I, as a viewer, felt that the fight had to be stopped. But given the fact that Dadashev looked off balance for portions of the 10th and that his resistance seemed to wane, I think he could have been pulled in the penultimate round.

Then again, the damage may well have already been done. We'll never know for sure.

Maxim showed inhuman heart in that fight, though. That stand he made in the 8th and 9th rounds as Matias was surging and on the verge of swamping him with workrate was something to behold. He bore the punishment with an almost unnerving stoicism, too. Crazy.

RIP Maxim. For better or worse, I won't forget the courage you displayed on Friday any time soon.

 

That moment where they showed him throwing up backstage was horrifying. One commentator said the vomiting was from body shots....SMH.

Sad thing his wife was in Russia too. This is too sad. RIP

It boggles the mind that we don't have this as standard practice already. No valid reason not to, except maybe financial cost I suppose? But if that's all...bugger that. Promoters should foot the bill to have it on hand, automatically, every card, PPV to small hall. Too pricy? Too bad. You don't get to profit off a bloodpsort then.

 

My prayers go to him and his family .
Boxing is the most beautiful but also most brutal and unforgiven sport .
We expect people can die , but we will never get used to it .

RIP Champ

 

Terrible, terrible news. My condolences to his family and his loved ones. This is the price our sport carries, its sickening to imagine what his family is going through.

I will copy & paste this thread to the random a**hats on this site who complain when a fighter gets taken out of a fight "too early" or if someone didn't "take his beating like a real man but his trainer threw in the towel".

 

A somewhat odd sidebar to this story is that I believe Max Kellerman has now been on three broadcasts where a fighter died. One was way back on Fox, I think, and then this past week plus Leavander Johnson. And we all know the story with his brother. That's a lot of tragedy following one guy around who's only 45 years old. He must really love boxing.

 

Give it 1 week the trolls will be back to normal calling fighters cowards

At least he knows how to hold in his tears, unlike his erstwhile broadcast partner Lampley. If ever there was a time Max was going to start blubbering, it was during the brief tribute paid onscreen to Pernell Whitaker (somebody of whom young Max was a self-identified blatant fan-boy, maybe his favorite boxer of all time)
