Sad times, leaves behind a young family as well.

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.

That's a really great point. It's the main reason why I'm not a fan of catchweights. These guys are already boiling down to their weight classes another couples pounds has desastrious affects.

My condolences to his family. Sad day for boxing.

And that's the thing. I didn't even watch the fight but I shouldn't have needed to.

The referee and the trainer are fully responsible for the health of the fighters in the ring. There is no shame in stopping the fight in the event one of them realizes one of the fighters are in danger of their health.

For those who watched it, what was Maxim's condition prior to the KO?

He was getting viciously outworked and outlanded by the much bigger puncher round after round. It was really hard to watch I was literally screaming at my television pleading for Buddy to stop the fight but lo and behold he kept sending him out there.

It's hard to say that man I feel you,,, the fact is that this fight and injury has some particulars that make it hard to figure who is or isn't at fault:

Buddy can teach a fighter to be defensive minded but he didn't train Maxim from the begining, the kid comes with a euro style set

Subriel was just relentless has a pressure style and Maxim couldn't put any hits that made him back off but he was hitting Subriel and the reff can stop it if the fighter is showing some offense

This just sad and he has a small child

Buddy's problem is he thinks every one of his fighters has Arturo Gatti recouprative skills. Gatti was special in that department you simply can't expect all your fighters to have that. This fight should have been stopped way before the 12th.

Damn, Rest in Heaven!

I was watching this fight with a casual and he didnt understand why I kept saying stop the fight during the 9th, 10th and 11th. Even on saturday I was explaining at my fight part why it was good to stop the lipinets fight. I even used dadashev as an example from the night before.

What a cruel sport. I wish his family the best of luck with their lives.

Buddy McGirt tried his best to save Maxim Dadashev's life, haunting words here.

That’s super haunting.
RIP MAX

Special thoughts for Matias too... Even the toughest no-heart mofo will be devastated by that outcome... I guess he's in a sad mood as we speak...

RIP man. rip..

Hes not that much older than my oldest. Hate to see that.

I only saw the last round of the fight. His eyes didn't look right when McGirt was telling him he was stopping it, yet he wanted to continue. Judging by the way he deteriorated so fast I can't imagine what would've happened if he continued to fight.

I don't know if I can continue with boxing after these last few weeks of sad news. I might have to take another break from the only sport I care about.
