“Max did not spare himself at all. He had a case when he became a finalist of the world among juniors and went with the guys to rest in Egypt, and there something monstrous happened. As it turned out, he had viral meningitis, could not make a diagnosis at all, ”REN TV quotes a specialist.
According to him, the boxer was then ready to die, but later recovered and began to act again. Sokolov stressed that Dadashev set high goals, but people were close to him, ready to squeeze everything he could out of him. The trainer also expressed the opinion that the boxer should not have started fighting in the professional ring.
“Max fell into greedy hands. I can not say with absolute certainty, but the boy was driven, very carelessly treated with this precious vessel. He was a great guy who worked all his life, ”said Sokolov.
Dadashev lost in a duel with Puerto Rican Sabriel Matias as part of a boxing evening in the USA, having suffered his first defeat in his professional career.
After the fight, the Russian lost consciousness and was taken to hospital with a diagnosis of "brain edema." Subsequently, Dadashev underwent an operation, during which he had a craniotomy. July 23, Dadashev died in the United States.
Earlier, ex-boxer Konstantin Tszyu expressed confidence that the trainer Dadashev should have stopped the fight in time.
