Comments Thread For: Kell Brook Broken Eye Socket Confirmed, Surgery is Scheduled

[graciefighter]

I had that same exact injury and it ended my boxing/mma career. It's serious and now I have permanent eye damage. The muscles and nerves get trapped inside the fracture and the longer you wait to get surgery the more damage is permanent. I now have double vision in certain angles and can't feel that side of my face. They have to put in a plate to cover the fracture so the eyeball doesn't drop down and if Brook gets hit there again it'll really damage that eyeball next time. Sucks for him, his career is in jeopardy. I think Matthysse had that same injury against Postol and he's having trouble with that eye now and considering retirement.

It's pretty obvious their plan was to give it a bit of a go and if things start gettin even remotely tough then throw in the towel...

Brook was behaving like some one who wanted out even before the final onslaught. The boy is a ****ing coward and a disgrace.

Say what you want about khan but he would never ever give up because of a little bump under his eye....

Brook only had to move up 2 weights.
Khan started at lightweight......

exactly. kell crook should give half his purse for refunds to the drunks who bought tickets

I got it from sparring, we were going hard and not wearing headgear that day. It takes a certain angle for the eyeball to get hit flush and break the socket. It's a lucky shot.

Man it's funny what all these keyboard warriors are saying but unless you get your socket broken too, you won't understand. As soon as my eye socket got broken I knew it was bad and had to take a knee. And when you try to open your eye it looks like you're looking out of shattered glass.

Paulie really is the Magic Man. Broken eye socket, broken jaw and still came back from that. He later moved up in weight to fight even larger opponents and became WW champion. /

Still some of the best comments ever from Brook, "He's not a hard puncher." "My eye socket is broken."

[SUBZER0ED]

We all expected Golovkin to destroy Brook, and in essence, he did. Brook put up a good fight for as long as he could and showed some real heart and skill. It's very unfortunate that a WW stepped up to fight a MW powerhouse like Golovkin and suffered a potentially career-altering injury. This won't inspire MWs to face GGG; but instead further solidifies their decision to avoid him like the plague.

To be fair he was two weight divisions higher and took some heavy shots off a heavy heavy puncher

I was shocked he wasn't khan'd after the first flush right hand

Well he was sort of haha, one of the first good punches landed broke his eyesocket 0_o
