damn. pac hurt him just by making him run. didnt even need to land a punch.

Depends on the severity.

An injury like that can be excruciating depending on how damaged it is.

Please... have you ever had a sprained ankle before? Excruciating? These guys eat 30 fists in the face per round and won't open there mouths.

But this guy gets a sprained ankle and cries in the corner: "it's broken, cut it off". It shouldn't even hurt that bad during the fight when your body is pumped with adrenaline.

Both fighters looked like crap. No skills, no power, no balance, what happened to basic boxing fundamentals. Marquez will beat both their asses.

Ankle sprains can be worse than breaks. I've had two awful ankle sprains where it took weeks for me to be able to hit a heavy bag again.

in terms of the long term healing process and its effect on your performance as an athlete during your season, yes, a sprain can be far worse than a break that heals properly

however, the actual injuries themselves cannot be compared.
if you break an ankle you cant put any weight on it. you certainly arent boxing rounds on a legitimately broken ankle.

Did he break his foot or his ankle?

I read that he fractured it, but I mean come on man, man up and use some crutches. You already got the biggest gift I've seen. Respect though for saying you want a rematch.

No....
I broke my ankle and snapped my achilies tendon, a bad sprain will never be worse than a broken ankle any snaps will never be good and chances are will never be the same.

He definitely hurt it. The video looked painful. But he also was losing before the injury.

Don agree with this.

It happend very esarly in the fight and up until then Bradley looked very good. Pac faded in the second half and had sucess in the 1st half but beofre the injury Timmy was outboxing him. So Pac was at his best early on but was still being outboxed it was only when Tim got hurt and slowed down it allowed Manny into the fight but he couldnt sustain it and was outboxed by an injured fighter.

The reason he rolled his ankle is because he got blasted and was wobblin!
