[The Gambler1981]

Yea it is a terrible story, there is really no excuse for some of it which makes a terrible story even worse.

Mago's case isn't just going away. I think the last boxing tragedy that got this kind of notoriety was Duk Koo Kim. That was over thirty years ago. We might very well be talking about Magomed many years from now.

the more I read about it, the worse this case gets. I dunno, maybe I've been spoiled by the level of care the BBoC provides, but I thought there were ambulances on stand by for boxers in all major venues around the world.

This was New York ffs, not the middle of Kenya.

Very sad to see Mago in that state. He's just a shell of his former self but at least he's still alive and somewhat aware of his surroundings

[Talisayen]

I feel so sad (shed tears) seeing him like that, but I hope he can still fully recover from the predicament he's in right now.

It's only a matter of time until this barbaric sport is banned.

Damn that video was sad to watch. Doesn't even resemble him. Goes to show the risks these fighters put themselves in in order to entertain us.
