I think you've got it exactly right. I thought Billy Dib was a lifetime featherweight. He previous fight, at 130 a year before, was against Farmer where he was KO'd in 4. So Khan shouldn't have been fighting such an overmatched guy. . Brook has a fairly hefty punch and just needs to brush his glove against Khan's jaw. Broken eye sockets are not always weaker after mending, sometimes stronger. Old time fighters often had them and took lots more punches on them with no problem. We are all just remembering how Margarito's eye socket damaged more easily.
But what we don't recall is he had cataract surgery to that very same eye, and with a stiff lens replacement, it was shifted by punches, and caused the eventual swelling and stoppage., He couldn't see clearly from that eye after it being punched.
Just one of those surgeries and repairs that never went well. It happens, and I know this for a fact, even for people who've had the same cataract surgery and never fought at all. .
