1. It's not the fans who tell a boxer how to fight, they are entitled to support the styles they like the most.

2. Boxing has been around for well over a thousand years and only organized for the past 120 plus years...technicians have only existed in varying levels of quantity the last 50 or so yeas so being a fan of brawlers does not make you a casual couch warrior it makes you 50% of the demographic that makes up boxing which at one point would've made them 100% of the demographic.

3. A professional boxer makes a choice to brawl, they made it. My only issue with this is that the risk vs reward is not even. If a brawler was making millions each time they fought I would have no issue at all with it. Brawling for a few hundred K makes no sense to me, for millions? No issue at all.

4. In terms of financial ruins do to health...they have the means and wealth to get all the insurance they need...at the end of the day it doesn't matter if you slip and break your neck or get your eye crushed in during a fight..you and only you are responsible for looking out for #1 and your family.

5. I love Mago's heart but his corner people were not up to snuff...when your fighter does not respond to you it's time to end the fight..which happened in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th round and jackson did absolutely jack shhh.

6. The fans are only going to consume what is available to them...you want someone to blame for this..blame boxing, the people making millions off it, and pimping out these fighters who don't know any better...not the fans.

My wife and I join you in the prayers for Mago, it's a sad situation but folks really need to direct their anger at the right people over this.

Your kidding yourself if you think that most boxer have the means to get insured..
Boxing is a high risk sport that most insurance will not take the chance on , it just does not happen.

This is the side of boxing I literally hate. And its also why I get irratated to no end when these dumbass couch warrior fans pump their chests, criticizing safety first fighters. And kissing the asses of these "warriors" who are "willing to take risk" to "give the fans exciting fights." Praying that this kid pulls through. But it doesn't look good. And even if he does, he's gonna be wrecked financially for the rest of his life.

This was a massive screw up..fight should've been stopped at the end of the first..he was wayyyyy too concerned with the damage he'd taken and not responding to his trainer..if you go and watch the fight again everytime between rounds they are asking him questions and he's not answering them not once..his trainer should lose his god damned license over it too...that doctor never bothered to climb into the ring to examine him either. I knew this fight was a problem when he spent 30 plus seconds out of his first round break checking out his face in the jumbotron and asking if his nose was broken...that means he's not into the fight the way a boxer should be and that's very dangerous.

I agree with you. his corner and the doc assigned to his corner are totally at fault. I felt that more people were concerned about the fight continuing in hopes that he could ko Perez as they salivated about the money that they could make off of a Mogomed win.
hope he survives and can have somewhat of a functional life.

Weak post.

You can call it whatever you want. But you're not the one laying in a hospital bed an inch from dead. Its real easy to live your tough guy fantasies through others from the safety of your couch.

My thoughts and prayers, as well as that of the entire boxing world are with you.... Get well soon champ...

always better to stop a fight too early than too late.

people need to stop ****ting on these refs who stop fights prematurely, no doubt these refs got it in their heads they dont wanna get criticized for screwing up a good fight
