The commission over seeing the fight provides the doctor. If fighters were allowed to provide their own doctors fights would never be stopped and we'd see much worse injuries and repercussions from them.

Would you trust the POLISH BOXING ASSOCIATION to handle a fight of this magnitude? Do you think they have the doctors that are properly trained for a fight like this?

The PBA is run pretty badly from the research I have done, so badly that their main point of contact is a free-email provider that all polish people use (think of Hotmail or Gmail).

This is Polands biggest Boxing fight, If I was Vitali I wouldn't put my faith into their hands. Would you?

and it doesn't work that way everywhere, for a fight like this I'm sure that there are special instructions laid out, Poland doesn't want to look bad on the world stage. They are spending millions on this event. I'm sure the organizers will instruct the Doctors NOT to stop the fight regardless of the fighters safety.

Politics in Eastern Europe work differently than in the west

Im sure the Polish Commission has properly trained doctors to oversee things. As far as how it is actually run, of that I can't speak with any authority. But if it i such a mess than why agree to fight there to begin with? And as for not wanting to look bad on the world stage....it would look much worse to have a fighter disfigured or die than it would a premature stoppage. That is just my opinion though.
