do we know which punch in particular caused the injury?

If you're moaning that the fight was stopped too early, you're as casual as it gets.

If you think Kell Brook has no heart for not wanting to continue, you're as casual as it gets.

Fighting through an orbital blowout fracture (which is what he has from the pic) is a tremendous feat. I speak from experience. Not only does it hurt like hell, but you cannot stop blinking or keep your eye from 'flooding' with water. The double vision is called diplopia which is where the muscle(s) that controls the eye movement had fallen down into the fracture and got trapped among the broken bone. That means the eye cannot move up or down at the same rate as the other eye. The protective fluid from around the eye also drops down through the break as well. He was taking hellacious shots and he couldn't even see straight. In all honesty the fight should have been stopped as soon as they found out he had it. He may be getting a titanium plate put in. It's the left hand side where you can see the break in the orbital floor.



Anyone who blames Kell or the corner or is unhappy with his effort or is calling it an early stoppage DKSAB.

Well said. It is still a sport and we should want to see fighters get to fight another day. I don't want to see someone lose an eye because the corner wouldn't protect their fighter.

It seemed like a long reaching left jab.

Golovkin hit him with it and Brook signalled to his corner straight away that his eye had gone.

All you have to do is show them the pacquiao and margorito fight and show them margarito's eye now and they should keep there mouths shut.

First off, how did you get his xray?

Second, I've seen many fighters fight on with such an injury, so Brook is lesser than them in the balls category. At least admit that, regardless of you're thinking on the stoppage.

If you had a broken orbital bone in with GGG, you would want to fight on right? hahahahahha

Margarito kept going, and his was arguably far worse
