It should have been a cause for celebration for Scott Westgarth after overcoming Dec Spelman in a light-heavyweight meeting in Doncaster.
But it quickly became a tragedy as the year-old was rushed to hospital following the 10 rounds shared before dying just two days later. They have been great with me ever since. Another recent ring fatality sadly occurred on American soil, with Russian boxer Maxim Dadashev passing away at just 26 following injuries sustained during his IBF light-welterweight title encounter with Subriel Matias. Dadashev was hospitalised with a brain bleed after being unable to walk to his dressing room. He sadly died following surgery.
It was a tragic year for boxing across , with several fighters losing their lives following ring injuries. Patrick Day was another unfortunate victim. The American was forced to undergo emergency brain surgery after his 10th-round knockout loss to Charles Conwell in Chicago , having fallen into a coma. As boxing fans, we have a bloodlust. Craving chaos, we desire maximum effort and pure action whenever any man or woman climbs through the ring ropes for battle. But with boxing's there are about 11 deaths per year.
And MMA fights doesn't just use punches most of the time.. They usually use grappling which could just lead to injuries. Those punches are so strong that it could cause a very big trouble to a person who would get hit.. It would cause hemmorages that is the No. It is fairly rare for a boxer to die from the injuries sustained a match, but this topic has gained attention after the deaths of boxers Maxim Dadashev and Hugo Alfredo Santillan, both of which happened in the same week.
On average, about 7 boxers die each year from injuries they sustained in a fight. This is based on information available on boxer deaths from — , on both pro and amateur boxers. This is according to The Manuel Velazquez Boxing Fatality Collection, which has kept and updated records of deaths in boxing occurring from — A lot of research has gone into The Manuel Velazquez Boxing Fatality Collection , so their records are the most accurate for deaths in boxing up to An unfortunate thing to note is that the average number of deaths per year does not take into account deaths from sparring, which would significantly increase the yearly average.
Boxing is a dangerous sport. Despite the precautions taken to establish some type of safety for the fighters, there is always a chance of life-changing injury, or in some cases, death.
Many of the deaths have varying causes, and hopefully, this explanation of causes for deaths will encourage fighters or fighters to be to get the proper medical attention before they fight. It is quite obvious to the average person that boxing is dangerous simply due to its nature. A punch to the head is never a good thing.
However, the problem is aggravated by the intervention of promoters or other people interested in making money from the fight. For example, gloves are used to protect the hands of the fighters from injury. While this may seem like an altruistic rule to enforce, the truth is that this rule benefits promoters and viewers alike.
If a fighter breaks their hand, the chances of the fight being stopped increase, and this would be especially true in a bare-knuckle fight, where every punch damages the hand more and more. However in a gloved fight, the chances of hand injury are much lower. Because their hands are protected by the gloves, the fighters can swing shots as hard as they like, without the repercussions of the impact on their hands.
This may cause knockouts and more exciting fights, but it also causes increased force in the punches thrown, which in turn leads to an increased rate of brain trauma and concussion. The pair had the maximum safety measures required. Ringside doctors, instant oxygen and medical attention were all on hand. This is to uncover whether taking shots in sparring or boiling down too much to make divisional limits have an outstanding effect on those who risk their lives in the squared circle.
