Magomed Abdulsalamov Has part of his skull removed

Damn... Just read about how doctors had to remove a piece of his skull to operate on a blood clot in his brain.

I would post the full story, but don't know if that violates any of the forum rules.

if true... i wish him the best and a speedy recovery. He put on a good fight and a valiant effort on Saturday. It's crazy how highly HBO tends to praise brutal fights, yet seem to neglect the possible negative outcomes such wars can produce. Hope they would respect technical boxers such as Rigo amongst others as much as they praise the brawlers they tend to gush over.

Sad stuff...Mago is the man

Not sure how theyn would be able to get rid of the blood clots without opening his skull ... Hopefully he gets to come away with his life. Very sad.

***ed up. Maybe this will change people's tune on quitting during a fight

When a fighter asks how he looks because he feels something is wrong in his face, trainers should consider this along with the punishment his fighter is receiving. Sadly it's not "fan friendly" to attempt to evade such health hazards so they'd rather risk their life in attempt to capture the ever so elusive and life changing "pay day".

Removing part of the skull is standard procedure for operating on the brain. Might be a small piece with the diameter of an inch. Needles to say, he won't be fighting for a long time.

[SN!PER]

In HW matches they should be more strict about stopping the fight if a fighter is clearly diminishing.

Ref should look closely for any of the following:

- fighter's received punishment is increasing
- fighter's offensive output is going down
- visible damage on fighter's face
- fighter is slowing down

Im so pissed with his corner. He KNEW something was wrong but this idiotic "quitting" crap from keyboard warriors would have haunted him.

Too bad because he looked like an awesome dude out there. **** HBO and their gatti ward obsession
