Comments Thread For: Doctors Weigh In On Errol Spence's Vision-Saving Torn Retina Discovery

[Spoon23]

Fool you don’t feel a retina detachment….if it’s not causing you to have white specs yet it can go unnoticed for some time…..eye exams pre/post fight exams done by doctors are only way to detect it….you on a boxing forum trying give life advice just shows how much of a clown you are and you have no idea what you talking about

How about the slurring part. I noticed that to during the PBC build up. He was talking like a punch drunk kid.. more like a kid with a brain damage punch drunk.. Dude is obviously not healthy.. He's got internal health issues and he didn't realise he should be sidelined.. Dude is a broken glass.

So many women here having their time of the months so angry. Ease up baby.. Just want the facts be cleared..

Spence should know better.. If he had this tear. He should have had felt those early signs of a tear. This isn't everything buddy boy..

And even if he got a surgery. Still sucks ass. He through his career away after that car crash..

Lesson here is..

Don't drink and drive if you don't want to waste your life away..

I don't think Spence will be the same..

Such a let down don't you agree?

The facts are he has a retinal tear. Are you one of those nosy people that needs to know everybody on the blocks buisness. I bet you watch soap opera's and the Kardashians

No amount of money is worth losing an eye, that's darkness forever... hell no. The way the article is written seems to imply that Errol will a return and that's good. Manny is fighting someone that he should handily beat and at the same time blow off ring rust and show where Manny is at 42.

Lets see how this unfolds, it may be a good thing for both men.

Naah, I'm just observant. Dude was slurring all over the place, That's not normal. Watch the PBC telecast. He was being interviewed by the press. He was slurring like hell.. You know the type when Joe ***** jumbles his words that doesn't make sense.. That kind of incoherence. He obviously has a brain issue..

Heck, it's common sense man. A lot have been saying a part of a man doesn't just get out of a serious car accident and not lose anything like that.. He obviously has..

He's a shattered glass.. Pieced together back.. eventually.. but the same.. Don't think so..

Looks like its real,, but recovery is months from now.. Will he ever be the same..

"Gelber speculates that following his surgery, Spence will be cleared for everyday activities in a couple of weeks. But in terms of a return to contact sport, the likely recovery period is several months. Provided a doctor clears him for combat once again, he’ll be able to make a full return."

I don't think he comes back @ 147!

uncle Tom Hopkins is a idiot and should be ashamed of himself

Uncle Tom? Why because Bernard questioned a situation that popped up out of nowhere without context or scientific corroboration? Really? Taking into account the sleazy history and nature of boxing...labeling Hopkins an uncle Tom because of his skepticism seems a little ignorant.

What matters is we boxing fans was looking forward to this epic showdown that could have been the best fight of the year, but due to Spence fumbling by being irresponsible enough not to notice his got a torn retina 2 weeks near the fight is a huge debbie downer. What we got is a fight we didn't want.

Whether you are a Pacfan or a not. The Pac Spence fight is a fight real boxing fans were salivating to see.

Partly I really feel, as a human being.. This serious issues in a man's body should have been felt and checked earlier.. So that everyone involved won't be affected by this disappointment. Spence fumbled bad and affected PBC, Pacquiao's Camp, Fans, private investors, gamblers, etc.. It's really irresponsible of him not to notice this..

Heck I even think he might have that tear even during his DSG fight. That car crash was a second life for him, but it's clear now that he lost a bit of his health because of that..

What if he just completely had no idea and the examination flagged it up and that's the first he knew? Cos that's how a lot of medical issues are discovered. By routine examination with no prior knowledge. Have you even considered that as a possibility. I'm feeling that you haven't.

So as well as a retinal tear he obviously has a brain issue? Please tell me you're a neurologist for a living otherwise you need to go back to your sewing and slow your heart rate down.
