Did that guy just say that a boxer that has been punched in the face, repeatedly for 10 rounds, and has clear facial disfigurement and several broken facial bones "isn't an emergency" ?

This is making me sick to my stomach.

Strictly speaking, he's correct.

A medical emergency is an injury or illness that is acute and poses an immediate risk to a person's life or long term health

Common facial swelling after a fight and broken bones are not an immediate risk to someone's life.

No ambulance? Who were his promoters and managers?

Its worse. They told him to see a doc when he returned home. They didn't even recommend that he go to the hospital that night.

But it could be to his long term health. You could take one look at Mago after that fight and clearly see that he needed to go to the hospital.

I refuse to accept or even acknowledged any other stance.

That really is unacceptable. I know boxers are looked at as warriors but behind every man there is also a team who understand the need for check ups etc

I liked how Bradley was allowed to walk himself into a ambulance after the Provo fight, this is not some cave man shet. This is real and I hope his manager and promoter feel ashame, why none of them check to see if there is an ambulance on standby is beyond me.

I can be a NYSAC doctor, you look into the guys eyes and ask if he's ok and thats it! Sounds easy, where do i sign up

Pac was taken to the hospital after his KO to JMM

Bradley was taken to the hospital after the Ruslan beating and after the pac fight for his ankle, yes his ankles
