So sad. My God.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Maxim Dadashev has died from injuries suffered during Friday's fight, according to trainer Buddy McGirt and Donatas Janusevicius, Dadashev's strength and conditioning coach.

Dadashev, 28, had been in UM Prince George's Hospital Center since the 11th-round loss to Subriel Matias. He underwent a two-hour surgery to relieve a subdural hematoma, or bleeding of the brain, and had been in a medically induced coma.

Early Saturday morning, neurosurgeon Mary IH Cobb told Dadashev's manager, Egis Klimas, and Janusevicius that the boxer had suffered a brain bleed on his right side, that his head was shaved and his scalp opened up, and that he was showing signs of severe brain damage. He had been given medication to decrease swelling.

Dadashev, from St. Petersburg, Russia, was 13-1 as a professional boxer.

Sad.. Maybe i'm wrong but i feel like serious brain injuries happen more often in last 10-20 years than it did in past.

[oogiebe]

Tragic and sad.

Horrible news...so sad. May he RIP.

f@cking awful

boxing is f@cking unforgiving. these cases happen every year. you follow a guys career, thinking what the future might hold, then you see them die from the ring not long after,

I hope the guy he fought was clean, because if he was on anything he shouldn't have been, he should be charged with manslaughter. With a 100% KO ratio, there is suspicion.

The absolute worst part of the sport.
RIP

There quite a few prospects with undefeated records with all by stoppage and by looking at resume he hadn't really stepped up previously so there shouldn't be any suspicion.

Maybe because boxers are more depleted at the time of weigh-ins and not recovering completely/correctly.

Why is that? Does the protective fluids cushioning the brain deplete as well? Don't mean to change the subject matter, but I'm curious to know.

Not quite. Cutting water weight causes the body to lose water from everywhere, including from within the brain.

The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) surrounding the brain is not water, so none of this is lost. What happens instead, is the loss of water from within the brain causes it to shrink slightly. The extra space around the brain is occupied by an increase in the volume of CSF.

Cutting too much weight, too quickly, or failing to properly rehydrate, means that when a blow to the head occurs, the brain has more distance to travel before impacting the side of the skull. That means more speed, and more force, increasing the likelihood of brain injury.

The best way to protect against this, is to restrict rapid weight cutting, by forcing a fighter to be within 10% of his fighting weight 30 days out, and within 5% 15 days out, or to ban dehydration altogether. The latter is easy to do. All that's required, is a simple urine test immediately before weighing in. Inadequate hydration level = no permission to fight.

This whole practice is why I'm always quick to speak out against rehydration clauses. A weight disadvantage in ring is still far less of a health risk, than having a drained fighter taking punches to the head.

No, you were pretty close. I don't know how much weight Dadashev cut, or how quickly, but with what's known these days, it's criminal more isn't being done to protect the fighters from themselves. Modern weight cutting techniques are literally killing people.

I've seen a lot of discussion here on the topic, but this was the first time I actually thought about how that impacts the brain. Can't understand how anyone would take such a risk or why it's tolerated. Money, money, money. Terrible.
