Maxim Dadashev Last Fight
On Friday, July 19, Maxim was in a 140-pound world title elimination fight with Subriel Matias at the MGM National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Maryland. Matias dominated the fight landing powerful blows on Maxim’s head and body. Buddy McGirt, Maxim’s trainer, stopped the fight when Matias was ahead 109-100, 108-101, and 107-102 on the scorecards following the 11th round.
After the round McGirt told Dadashev he was going to stop the fight as he was getting hit too much but Dadashev refused. He again tried to convince Maxim but again he refused the fight to be stopped.
“I’m going to stop it, Max. Max, you’re getting hit too much… Please, Max, please. Let me do this. OK? OK? Look at me. Please… If I don’t, the referee’s gonna do it. C’mon, Max. Please.”
McGrit finally asked the referee to stop the fight. McGrit later said he thought of ending the fight during the ninth round but he knew he had to stop it after the 11th.
“I saw him fading and when he came back to the corner [after the 11th round], my mind was already made up. I was just asking him out of respect, but my mind was made up. I wasn’t going to let him go out there.”
Maxim needed help leaving the ring and even collapsed before making it to the dressing room and began vomiting.
?️”God forbid… one punch as you know can change a whole guy’s life and I wasn’t going to let that happen– so, I’d rather have them be mad at me for a day or two then to be mad at me for the rest of their life.” ?
