Stumbled upon another deaf boxer

beat kid gavilan, drew with jake lamotta

Knocked out Paul Pender too, some career!

[Jeff_lacy_ko]

most things that are said to boxers can be motioned too. and a good ref should be there and can put a hand up as soon as the bell rings. it would add anotheer layer of difficulty, but certainly a deaf person should be able to box if that's their only disability

there was a deaf ufc fighter too, matt hamil

The red lights that go on when the 10 second left sound is made were specifically made for deaf boxers

Golovkin's older brothers died during the period when Russia was fighting with its breakaway region Chechnya, so it is very likely that they died there. Of course one cannot discount a possibility of death from army bullying which is really bad in Russia.

- How is Erik Skoglund doing now, speaking of injuries after Smith fight?

Six years after brain injury, Erik Skoglund, 32, wants one last fight

Erik Skoglund almost lost his life in 2017 after a sparring session turned into a serious health situation. After undergoing brain surgery, thankfully, he’s functioning today.

However, the Swedish star has never been able to put out the fire inside of him that wants to be a boxer. Skoglund is a bonafide fighter who was once the most talented in his homeland.

Over half a decade from what could have been his end of days, Skoglund is in the gym, hoping to get back under the lights again.

Erik Skoglund wants one more fight

“Time flies, and I keep working. This dream is too big for me to let go of,” he said regarding the possibility of an exhibition or some sort of body sparring event.

Almost six years to the exact day when Skoglund suffered a brain hemorrhage during a hometown sparring session, he still looks the picture of health.

A lack of boxing action has preserved those good looks. However, the man who only lost once to divisional number one Callum Smith would have taken losing some of his chiseled features in a trade for competing in the ring.

Cornering for his friend and teammate Anthony Yigit gets him by, but it’s not the same for Skoglund. He has the boxing bug that would never have been satisfied with retirement at 26.

Exclusive interview with World Boxing News

In 2018, after some time recovering at home, Skoglund was gracious enough to speak to World Boxing News exclusively. He relived some of what happened that fateful day.

“I’m at the gym right now, having a quick workout. Today is a good day,” he told WBN when obviously having as many bad ones. “I’m trying to work out as much as I can.

“I’m trying to do whatever I can to get back physically and mentally in shape.”

Asked about December 8, 2017, he added: “I don’t remember anything from the day it happened. It’s completely gone. But as I’ve been told, I was in the gym sparring.

“Afterwards, I told my trainer that I felt sick. He said to try again after the weekend. He said, ‘Get some rest, and we’ll see you on Monday.’

“I said you don’t understand. I really don’t feel great. Then I fell on the floor. I started to shake and scream. My trainer, my brother, and my girlfriend were all there. They understood something really bad was happening.

“I went to the local hospital in Nyköping and had an MR scan. They saw it was a bleed inside the brain. It was a shock for everyone.”

Surgeries

That wasn’t the end of the story, as Skoglund continued to explain.

“They put me again in the MR. They saw that there was a leak from the surgery wound, so the blood came in and pushed the brain once again.

“They had to redo the surgery. So, I actually had two surgeries for the same injury. Then, they put something in that could help the blood to leak out, but it doesn’t put pressure on the brain.

“That was pretty much the issue, but after that, they decided that the pressure on my brain could be too much if they tried to wake me up again.

“They decided to let me wake slowly and naturally. They allowed it to take time, which is why I was down for more than a week.

“Of course, it was horrible for my family because they couldn’t tell whether I would wake up or if I was going to move again. They didn’t know if I was even going to talk again.

“It was that kind of a horror for everyone involved.”

Despite all he’s been through, Skoglund continues to feel the adrenaline from being involved in the sport.

And if anyone deserves one more night under the lights with adoring fans cheering his name, it’s Erik Skoglund.

No commission should license him. He was in a coma for 10 days, massive brain trauma, brain bleeds.
No one should want him to fight again. I wish him well. Maybe as a trainer but not as a fighter.

I agree. He could easily die even if he's hit in the head with just a few punches in the light moderate force level/range.
What I mean is, even a proverbial pillow-fist type of puncher could definitely end his life in the ring.
Look at Jerry Quarry. I don't think that his level of brain damage was at the level of Skoglund, before taking on that Jobber Can/Bum, when he(Quarry)was 47(in 1992).
Look at what became of Jerry Just a few years later, after that ill fated (1992) bout, in that 1995 "Where is he now"(Styled Documentary)(Not literally titled that).

Tank Davis is a product of his environment and it’s gonna take time to polish him up for the WHITE acceptance like the rest of the great boxers that came up through tough childhoods and low income housing. But I hope that he says screw that and doesn’t change for anyone’s idea of intelligence.

To be where he is from where he began, it’s a miraculous story that none of you punks could have withstood I’m sure. The kid worked his ass off to be a very special fighter so that really should be all that he’s judged upon. To become anything from those beginnings is amazing enough.

Baltimore aint no big thang brother, overhyped. Try growing up Catholic on the mean streets of Lupset, UK. Davis would have been eaten for breakfast.

Yes, he is a special fighter, but he asks like a dick face and I don`t care where you come from buddy, there ain`t no excuse for acting like he does. Product of your environment? Yeah, he`s not the only one to grow up tough. There are shatholes in Mexico and Argentina that make the Baltimore hood look like disneyland.

I used to teach at the secondary school that served Lupset. Used to go to the Lupset pubs for a few pints after work.
It was a bit rough.
