Mike Perez, after the tragedy

Mike Perez seems like a standup guy

My prayers to Mago and his family, but I haven't hear from Perez and my guess is that he is profoundly disturb by what happen, do you think that he will be the same on his next fight or became gunshy? A lots of fighters would lose their killer instinct with a tragedy like this As a few other guys pointed out: it's really all about the individual, so it's hard to say. But my opinion is that Mike would've been much likelier to suffer psychological trauma if he KOed Mago, or pummeled him into submission. I think he would feel much more guilty in that case. As it was, both fighters withstood enormous punishment. Magomed walked out of the ring just as well as Mike did. I think Perez might feel (and rightfully so) that it could just as easily been him in a coma. I hope both men and their families come out of this okay. The tragedy has affected many people, not just the fighters.

Sergey Kovalev was able to move on and didn't let the tragedy break him down mentally. Hopefully Perez is the same.... Pretty sure Kovalev actually isn't human.

i think he'll be fine because it wasnt a slaughther it was a competitive fight till the end so i think itll be easier for him to come back more so than others

I hope he's not affected as a fighter. He did his job and won the fight. He has nothing to answer for. But we all know that the mind is more complex than that.

Most say Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank were never the same after their respective tragedies. He released i statement saying he was praying for Mago's recovery I think. Hopefully he doesn't let it affect him too much as he was just doing his job in there Gabriel Ruelas was never the same either but Barry McGuigan didn't seem to suffer any problems. All about the individual. Brian Rose WAS affected but some counselling appeared to help him.

I remember mancini and he wasn't the same after his fight with the korean kid, Perez has being silence I guess that's his way of coping with such a tragedy, well hopefully he can put it behind and kept on going with boxing career, that is the danger every fighter takes when stepping into the ring.

Wow I never even thought about him since I heard about the Coma situation. That would be some ****

A lots of fighters would lose their killer instinct with a tragedy like this Hard to say. Have to wait and see I guess - it's going to effect different guys differently. Kovalev says that he considered retirement after the Simakov tragedy 2 years ago, but came back guns blazing (as it were) 6 months later and it doesn't seem to have dampened his willingness to go for the KO. He says one of the hardest things is knowing the same could happen to him anytime he steps into the ring.
