Comments Thread For: Dadashev Undergoes Two Hour Surgery, Part of Skull Removed

[Jesse Wick]

I admit I do get frustrated when I think a fight gets stopped too soon, but at the end of the day I’d rather see a fighter get robbed than see him get killed. Thank God McGirt stopped it when he did or Dadashev could be in even worse shape. Prayers.

Maxim started out circling and moving. Matias was a lot of pressure from the start but later in the fight Dadashev stood in the pocket and traded with Matias a LOT.

Subriel is real and they need to watch that his opponents don't take so much punishment. Once Max stopped moving, he took a beating. This is one they should have stopped early. I like Buddy, he said they would be there all night, turning and running. Hindsight is 20 20, he should have stopped it when the turning and running got beat out of Max.

Awful, just awful. Feel terrible for this man and his family. Why couldn't this have happened to Floyd???

Hey Cigar

Man...with all due respect...these fighters risk their lives up in there.

For you to wish this type of injury on ANY fighter makes you look like less than a man.

I absolutely detest Broner and the Charlo sisters.

I think they're loud mouthed **** talkers...but I would NEVER want to see them in dire straits like this.

You hate FLoyd THAT much?

What has he ever done to you?

If you ran into him at a mall and all of sudden he decided to be generous and buy sneakers for you and your whole family, I'll bet you'd accept them.

I'll bet you wouldn't wish a brain bleed on him then would you?

Your post started out real cool and in an instant you became a sucker.

I always found it interesting how some fighters can go through multiple wars, take hellacious beating over and over again, and come out on the other end just fine with no problems at all.

Then you have some boxers who just seemingly have an off night, take a few big shots, and they’re life is on the line.

Am I missing something? Is there a genetic component at play here? Perhaps some boxers are genetically more inclined to suffer from brain injuries than others?

Hopefully further down the line we can identify something that will tell us more and we can build some sort of safeguard to protect our boxers who we love so deeply.

Very true. Look at Jake lamotta an 83-19 record with tons of wars fought sugar ray robinson like 6 times took great punishment his whole career and yet he lived to be in his 90's died in a nursing home at that.


I definitely believe there is a genetic component to the ability to withstand punishment. Fact is, some people are just more resilient to withstand it.

I’ve heard that genes hold the answer to many questions we have about our health and our lives. There is still a lot that we do not know. There’s so many different genes that do different things. Hopefully in time, we will know more. Science is fascinating stuff.

I know mate and these guys fight literally to put food on there table.
That’s the reality of boxing on the journeyman circuit and fighters trying to get to the very top.
There is no fear in a boxer

Hundred percent agree. They are a different breed.

not really ...almost all brawlers by the end of there career suffer brain injury.....some are lucky some are not.
It only takes one punch to land exactly in the right spot to cause permanent damage.
There are a number of reasons why a fighter could suffer severe brain damage.
Overmatched against fighter , dehydrated because of weight loss , refereee never did his job properly etc.
Some fighters are just unlucky and it only takes one shot to end a fighters career or life.
I don’t believe it’s genes why a fighter gets brain damaged.
I do believe some fighters have more metal though

Same day weigh ins make it far riskier because fighters will still cut weight

Only this time, they won’t have an extra 24 hours to rehydrate

What they should really be doing, is have far stricter 30-day, 7-day and same-day weigh ins. Apart from the IBF, which is also pretty lax though a step in the right direction, these additional weigh ins are a joke with the ABC orgs

They wont cut as bad for a same day weigh in. 30 day means nothing, those are just extra weight cuts. You should see how most cut, go spend 2 days with someone cutting weight. They wont cut like that for a same day weigh in trust me.
