Wallberg updateBy Per-Ake Persson ![]() It could be Wallberg means she was hurt in the seventh - because that´s when Prazak hurt Frida with an awkward, big right from the outside. The knockdowns in the eighth came from first a left hook and then a right hook. Either way it is now also clear that Wallberg suffered a subdural haematoma, a bleeding between the skull and the brain. Her fighting days are over in Sweden but for instance the BDB in Germany do allow fighters to continue despite this kind of medical history. Wallberg will remain in hospital for the next five or six days as precaution. Dr Robert Ludwig has been widely criticized for his handling of the fight and confirms to Expressen that Wallberg was not doing allright when he checked her the first time - but then - strangely to a layman - leaves her and it´s now Lucia Rijker comes over to help Wallberg. Dr Ludwig says he could nothing more but Rijker calls for a doctor and it´s not until now that a stretcher - apparently on wheels and too big to be carried into the ring so more time is lost - and one couldn´t see when oxygene arrived. There´s also many questionmarks to how Wallberg had prepared for the fight. Some say she had lost a lot of weight fast, others that she had kept a strict diet for a long time. Bjorn Rosengren, who heads the Swedish Federation´s pro commission insists that everything went by the book with no delays outside of the stretcher incident. Professional boxing and its risks are heavily debated in media in Sweden these days and as always the no-sayers comes out en force - and in view of what happend Friday night it´s hard make a good defence. Accidents will always happen but if the system - especially medical safety - around the fighters can´t be trusted then professional boxing is lost. By Per-Åke Persson ![]() |
