Eye damage in boxing

[Gigantes]

There was concern surrounding Margarito's eye before the fight took place, as his orbital bone got ****ed up and he required surgery to reposition his lens; those are pretty big distinguishing factors.

There was massive concern regarding Margaritos eye before the fight and he only got medically cleared just days before fight night. All eyes were on Tony's eye that night. Totally different circumstances

understandable, yet why did they stop it when the fighter was still able to continue, on top of that, answer EVERY question he was given.

There'd be no question in stopping it had they been asking Tony questions and he was unable to answer them, but he was, so what was the problem?

looking at those, how can one say one is in worse shape than the other (just looking at there it looks like Chris' is worse

Absolutely right, the Nysac is very inconsistent to say the least. The knee brace recently in the Cotto/ Martinez fight was another lets make up rules as we go type. Even fighters calling the shots on which gloves you can and can't wear nowadays.

Are there any protocols to when a fight gets stopped due to eye damage? 2 weeks in a row now we got to see a person's eye really get messed up. I was wondering when do the doctors step in. I ask because last week, Algieri, in New York, had a real messed up eye yet was allowed to continue, however; in Margarito vs Cotto 2, Margarito's eye didn't seem as bad/not worse than Algieri's, and yet they stopped that fight but not Algieri's.

It looks as if New York does some home cooking. Algieri got have been called off but they let him continue, and Margarito was clearly having his best round and coming on a fading Cotto, and Doctors stopped it (why too because it wasn't like Margarito wasn't answering their questions correctly- every question he was asked, he answered correctly and yet they still stopped it).
