Badou Jack post-fight pics *WARNING: Graphic*

The Steve Bunce podcast had an interesting segment on cuts this week. An interview with Kerry Kayes. Thought I'd stick it here incase anyone fancied a listen. Link : https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p06zbmdz Starts around 20 mins into the podcast. It's a BBC podcast, so I'm not entirely sure if it's made available outside of the UK.

Crazy cut. Surprised wasn’t a staph infection That was my main concern when they let it ontinue. A cut like that get s infected in any way. could cause very bad problems

Generally it's about whether it's compromising a fighters ability to defend himself, rather than the size or depth of the cut. Usually when there's a stoppage it's because of blood dripping into the eyes rather than the cut itself. Exactly. I feel they should let it go. Boxers are paid very well PER HOUR compared to any job. It's dangerous, and what fights should and shouldn't be stopped is too subjective to have a fair field. Brutal at times? Kinda. But that's why boxers are cool.

There was blood everywhere after that cut. It couldn't have been sanitary. Ref should have stopped it. But Badou is a warrior for sure. He's a guy who never quits and that has allowed him to make the most out of his talent to carve out a very nice career.

.........bububut the doctor said he was fine!

My favorite current fighter without a questiom. True warrior spirit. I don't think Badou has a lot left in the tank, he had a great run though, a throwback fighter as can be in the current era of boxing. Utmost respect for the brother. Hopefully he's set financially and can retire when he wants to.

I don't understand how smaller cuts have stopped fights but his was allowed to continue. Now this guy is ruined permanently. Uncle Al put out the word that under no circumstances was Jack going to take an L. In Jack's next fight, the first time he gets punched there, it's going to split right back open.

Salute to Badou Jack. He is a fcuking warrior. He fought on that cut since the 7th round and continued to fight after Browne opened the cut more. Oh and get this? HE WAS STILL COMING FORWARD Dude is a beast. No doubt Not only that, dude's conducted himself as a consummate professional throughout his career and fought the best available to him at both 168 and 175. Only shame is that his career didn't really get going till he was 30 years old and at 35 there really isn't that many miles left on the clock for him.

Props to Badou for having heart for days and handling the L graciously

The fight definitely should have been stopped, if not after the initial injury it 100% should have been stopped after the uppercut in round 11 where the cut opened up more and there was a huge gush of blood.

I thought it was a headbutt...

Great man took the loss gracefully and didn't blame it on the cut. he was losing before the cut and had no joy inside or outside. Browne boxed great and I hope he grants the guy who he lost to "hot rod" a rematch.
