it's too bad a great fight had to end with someone being seriously hurt. ihope magomed can fight again but from stuff I've read he will have the same issues joe mesi did in the states. if he chooses to continue he may have to fight in parts of Europe or US states that are less strict on past head injuries...

I wouldn't care about my victory either if my opponent had to go through something like that as a result of it. It was a great night of heavy weight boxing (which i cant remember the last time i said that) but unfortunately had a sad turn of events, but hopefully has a happy ending and Mago recovers fully.

They had to remove a portion of his skull to relieve the pressure - I do not think he will be fighting again, from the end of the first round on Mago raised concerns in his corner over his health. Why did no one take any of it seriously ? Gotta have trainers that truly Care for their fighters.

Terrible whenever this happens. I hope he is alright.

Exactly what I said!!! that fight was brutal at certain parts of the fight it was clear they should have thrown in the towel nobody in his corner was looking out for this guy I bet they all are feeling ****** right now because this guy's boxing career is over.....He will never fight again

Trainers have to protect the fighter when he knows his guy is losing, has nothing to give, taking a beating and refuses to quit. Smh

john david jackson probably hasn't slept much in the past few days.

These were heavyweight power punchers trading blows throwing as many punches as lightweights it was a brutal fight of the year candidate, the ref should have stopped it.

I cheered both guys, but now I feel hurt and pain this is sad.

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.
