Comments Thread For: Maxim Dadashev, 28, Dies From Brain Damage Suffered In TKO Loss

[Boxing Logic]

Time for boxing to take a serious look at bringing back same day weigh ins. This will force these guys to fight closer to their natural weight.

Some boxers just can't rehydrate after losing all that weight. Taking punches to the head after that can have devastating affects on the brain.

Exactly. It looked like a 154 pounder vs a 140 pounder in the ring. The far more talented boxer not only lost because of the day before weigh in, he got killed. Like, way better boxer. No offense to Matias, but he Jarret Hurd'd him, that's all. Think the Jarret Hurd vs Tony Harrison fight or something, except Dadashev even showed elite stamina unlike Harrison, the size difference just seemed even bigger, and Matias was like a terminator, he threw almost well over 1200 punches in just 11 rounds, including (edit: nearly 900, 881 to be exact) 900 power punches, stalking Dadashev for every second of every round, Dadashev is a clean fighter coming from the Russian amateur system so he didnt know to hold to get some rests, it was literally 33 minutes straight of Dadashev basically having to run backwards to get away, fire off beautiful counters that just bounced off the weight bully terminator in front of him, dodge 85+ punches per round which also takes energy, get hit hit with the other 20 or so (Dadashev displayed excellent defense all fight, but eventually the fatigue catches up to you), and eventually he succumbed. It reminded me of the Lebedev fight vs Guillermo Jones, and we all know what the tests came back with after the fight. Matias hasn't tested positive for anything, so I'm not accusing him of using PEDs, I'm just saying it reminded me of that fight and there were some su****ious aspects to the fight. Often extreme weight cutting and rehydration and PEDs go together. But we'll probably never know in this case. The day before weigh ins increase the potential for abuse and danger in the ring, even without PEDs, but especially with them.

R.I.P. champ. Sad when any fighter has to lose their life.

[GLeon12]

that's exactly how I feel about it. Max did not look to be in any true danger up until the moment they stopped it. He was always answering back when Matias landed.

Glorified bum-fights. Pay two men to bash each other to death for amusement. Everyone that supports boxing is responsible for this.

Did you just made an account on the site to post this?

Ok, dude, good to know. Now GTFO

Holy ****....

God Speed Maxim...

How the puck u blaming Matias? He's been fighting at 140 his whole career and he is a really humble kid, never gets in trouble or none of that ****.... Btw in round 7 the fight should of been stop.

Oleksandr Gvozdyk & Lomachenko were laughing when Adonis Stevenson was in critical condition. Laugh now MF's!!!!

[BoloShot]

This guy was so talented and was going places in his career. I thought the fight should've been stopped earlier. He looked really off for the last two rounds he was in there in particular. I guess hindsight is 20/20 but I was concerned at the time and so was Buddy McGirt, I feel sorry for that man. Did what he should, still wasn't enough. Must be crushing for him, poor Maxim and his family. Jeez even Matias won't see himself as the same person anymore. Condolences to all.

This fight was real one way traffic, when I was watching I thought it should've ended much earlier. Dadashev hadn't a chance in there halfway through and everyone could see that.
