    I wouldn't be surprised. He looked like he started to favor it fairly early.

          A broken hand is extremely painful. I've never had one, but everybody who has had one says it is.

          I remember George foreman saying "when you break your hand you think you're gonna die ....but you're not gonna die"

              I think he said he felt it broke during the 4th round. He also damaged his own eye by hitting himself with a rubber band during one of his leg stretches the night before the fight. Apparently it was so bad he couldn't see clearly from the damaged eye, he claimed it was all "cloudy". He says all of this in the press conference after the fight.. It's rolling around on YouTube.

                  Stiverne complaining after the fight over some non-specific "I just wasn't able to fight the way I wanted for some reason" and goes to hospital for two nights for "dehydration," making him the first heavyweight ever to get dehydrated.

                  Wilder fights through broken hand and vision problems with no complaint.

                  It proves the old adage:

                  Winners adjust, losers make excuses.

                    I had a su****ion too cause he kept fixing his gloves, whenever a boxer hurts their hand they always mat down the glove and press it down they want to tighten it up because its painful.
