Kazuki Anaguchi still in coma after 28 days after fighting Seiya Tsutsumi

[..David..]

After watching today fights i was wondering what happened to Anaguchi and his recovery so i googled what has happened to him since then,
only to find out he still in a coma 28 days laters… damn hope this kids comes out of this, that was one hell of a fight

It's very sad. 28 days of coma don't do any good to the brain, unfortunately.

Thats not a great sign.

They need to start ending some of these grueling fights sooner when they can. Those are typically the type of fights where a severe injury or death happen. That said idk when this fight would have been stopped. Dude looked very hurt a couple times watching this fight but it was more subtle & idk that a ref was likely to have caught it in real time + he came back strong from each of those times. Sometimes this feels like ones destiny more than it could have been prevented.

Agreed but i was very surpised to see no medical attention right away, poor guy was shaking uncontrollably in the corner as soon as the fight ended and he still walked to the dressing room leaning on his team

this was the undercard to a inoue fight very very surprised to see an event in japan miss something as important as this

The fact that Anaguchi was winning by a hair until the last knockdown in R12 and not showing irregular symptoms (other than normal expected fatigue and damage) really made it hard to stop as well.

I mean, in hindsight we can say stuff but at the time, if the ref stopped it after maybe the 3rd knockdown I'm sure there would've been a lot of bashing and people saying stuff like robbery by ref or that he did it to save Tsutsumi from losing his belt or whatever. Obviously not Tony Weeks level bad but definitely would've had people unhappy that the ref "chose the winner" so to speak. In fact I'm sure if Anaguchi lost due to ref calling TKO before the last round he and his team probably would've complained about it too.

Yea I agree on the lack of medical assistance after the fight & when it was clear something was wrong.

Dana White is a greedy piece of sh^t but hes got a great rep with getting guys medically dealt with immediately after a rough fight. Idk why boxing isn't more on top of this with a worse history of severe injuries in real time during an event than any other popular sport.

I don't disagree there was no clear moment the fight without question should of been stopped, but I'm also sure most would rather be b^tching about an early stoppage if it had presented itself than.hope this kid can live a normal life after this fight.

Theres a super thin line to prevent severe injuries often times & sometimes like with this fight imo there was no line it was just gonna happen like it did. The medical assistance, that David brought up, was the biggest issue here with how things went down imo.

As bad as the UK is for cheating visiting fighters, I think their medical care is the best. If that was in UK the paramedics would have been in like a shot as soon as they saw his legs going. He would have been given oxygen straight away and probably taken on a stretcher. May not have made a difference, but what we saw was very poor.
