MMA fight last night: Will this ever happen to a boxer?

[hammerhiem]

best defence for a low kick is a knee in the shin, even if it doesn't break they are going to be limping for a month.

[Noy]

the full fight video is on the front page of ufc.com.

i remember corey hill from the ultimate fighter series. dude is too skinny to be at 155 at 6'4. no wonder his leg snapped like a pencil, cuz his legs ARE pencils.

and no, this will never happen to a boxer of course, the closest thing would be a broken nose, or a severed lip.

I can see that happening to Williams when he throws a punch with his frail arms.

[isbj]

in that gif his leg looks like it snapped in motion before contact? Maybe he cracked it in a previous kick?

[ferocity]

Thats crazy. 2nd video of someone breaking there leg, the 1st was also in mma.

The closet thing to this that i know of is when an opponet of Gabriel Ruelas tied him up and some how broke his arm while holding on. Thats why Gabriel Ruelas was never able to extend his right arm(i think it was. He has metal screws that put his arm back to together.

Danny Romero had his eye socket broke, v. Willy Salazar and he still wanted to continue as he was winning the fight.

Thats all i can this of to tie that in with boxing inccidents.

edit: its happened where boxers sprain there ankle as they went down from a ko.

The dude with the ****ed up leg decided to make a tactical retreat and spend the rest of the fight on the ground. He lost a controversial decision.
