Subriel Matias TKO11 Maxim Dadashev... UPDATE: Scary moments followed this fight unfortunately.  Maxim Dadashev’s legs gave out under him during the walk back to his dressing room. Members of his team struggled to hold him up and moved him toward a stretcher, with Dadashev vomiting in the process.  Initial reports from ESPN stated that he was responsive to the paramedics.  The Washington Post reported Dadashev would be undergoing brain surgery, although as of late Friday night, it was unclear if the surgery had been completed. Boxingtalk.com sends its positive thoughts to Maxim and his family in this difficult and scary time. Maxim Dadashev (13-1, 11 KOs) tasted defeat for the first time in his career tonight against a relentless Subriel Matias.  From the opening bell, this fight put two contrasting styles on display: Subriel Matias was pressuring and stalking, with Maxim Dadashev laterally moving and sticking single shots to the head and body.  With all the moving and nervous energy expended by Dadashev, it appeared clear that it might be only a matter of time before a hard charging Matias could close the gap and find his range.  And sure enough, by the end of round 3, Dadashev looked plainly uncomfortable.  However, just as Matias was appearing more and more like the boss, a stream of blood began to flow from the right eye of the aggressor, result of an accidental clash of heads.  If Dadashev was looking for a drastic shift in dynamic, this might have been it.  The sight of his opponent’s blood did appear to boost the confidence of Dadashev, as he began to really sit down on his punches in round 4, a round that Dadashev plainly won.  And as Matias’ pressure lessened, so too did Dadashev’s movement, allowing him to conserve energy, get off more, and ultimately score clean power shots upstairs and down on the slowing Matias.  It wouldn’t prove easy though for Dadashev.  While Matias wasn’t cutting off the ring as effectively as he did in the first 3 rounds, his pressure never ceased.  Matias’ body shots were vicious and relentless.  Each man successfully employed his contrasting game plan and it made for an aesthetically-satisfying, back-and-forth show through 11 rounds.  Going in to the 12th, however, Buddy McGirt, trainer of Maxim Dadashev, put an end to the bone-breaking punishment that his fighter had absorbed throughout, culminating with an 11th round that some might have considered a 10-8 in favor of Matias.  Buddy McGirt made the right call and put the health and well-being of his fighter first.  Although Dadashev did not argue with his coach, that was not an indication of his level of courage in this fight.  Subriel Matias was simply too aggressive and too strong for Dadashev in the end.  A fantastic show by the still undefeated Matias who now improves to 14-0 and has stopped every opponent he’s faced. Source: ESPN+ / Washington Post
