His head coach (Kanat Orakbaev) wanted him to continue. He evaluated Aidos and said nothing was wrong with him.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He acknowledged the ref (referee Tony Weeks). He looked up and said, yes, he wanted to continue. As a corner, I think he still wanted to fight. He wanted to fight all the way to the end.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;He&#x27;s a great guy. I don&#x27;t even want to talk about it no more because I&#x27;m sick to my stomach at this point.

But even the referee, and Tony Weeks is a really good ref, but sometimes you&#x27;ve gotta go to the corner and say, &#x27;Hey man, y&#x27;all need to stop this.&#x27; And that&#x27;s when (Yerbossynuly) started fighting dirty, because he didn&#x27;t wanna get knocked out.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;It was all pride. I commend the guy for taking all that punishment, but you&#x27;ve gotta save guys from themselves. He took way too many punches. And you know what? This kid might never be able to fight again. That&#x27;s how bad it was.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Morrell was headed for a dominant win when the fight was called, winning every round on two cards, and was up 108-101 at the start of the final round.<\/p>\n<p>&quot;Representatives of TGB Promotions and PBC are on the ground in Minneapolis with Aidos&#x27; team and we are monitoring the situation closely,&quot; a PBC spokesperson said in a statement. &quot;Out of respect for he and his family&#x27;s privacy, we can&#x27;t share any details but we ask the boxing community to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.&quot;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>For a daily dose of the best of the breaking news and exclusive content from Wide World of Sports, subscribe to our newsletter by<\/strong><\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/login.nine.com.au\/edm?client_id=wwos&amp;redirect_uri=https:\/\/wwos.nine.com.au&amp;newsletter=true\"><em><strong>clicking here<\/strong><\/em><\/a><em><strong>!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Kazakhstan boxer Aidos Yerbossynuly is in a coma after a 12th round knockout in his WBA &quot;regular&quot; super middleweight world championship fight against Cuban David <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/?p=249401\" title=\"Boxer in coma, corner under fire over title fight\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249401"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=249401"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249401\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249403,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249401\/revisions\/249403"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=249401"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=249401"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportinfo.pro\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=249401"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
