Good news to report as Heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov is out of his coma that he has been in for all but a day since his November 2nd fight with Mike Perez.
“The doctor told me he is out of the coma and awake and that he is aware of his surroundings, and they are moving him to a regular room (on Tuesday),” said Nathan Lewkowicz. “They said this is different than last time (he was taken out of the coma) because this time he’s showing more improvement.
“He’s awake. He’s not able to speak but he’s awake and aware of his surroundings even if he can’t speak. His eyes are open.
“He said they won’t know how his brain is until 18 months after the injury, but it’s only been a month and his brain is still healing. The doctor said he most likely will have some limb dysfunction, but they don’t exactly what it will mean. He was on death’s doorstep when they brought him in after the fight, but the fact that he was young and healthy made all the difference. He’s making progress. He’s going to live but they don’t know what his limitations are going to be.”
