    Why? It's boxing, and he is a spectator.

    Nothing selfish about it. This is boxing. When I watch, I want bloodshed. I hate early stoppages, I want wars.

    In the ring, I am all about defense, I hate getting hit, and while I have never been down, I can't question what I would do in real adversity until I see it. I know my heart and courage because I am a war veteran, but that doesn't mean I can't falter in a fight.

    I fight differently in the ring than I want fighters to fight for me, and there is nothing selfish about it. You can say it's hypocritical, but they are getting paid big bucks for 12 rounds of work. I get nothing as an amateur, if I was earning a million+ I would be more eager to put myself at risk as well.

    I love boxing as a sport, and I consider myself a warrior, but I also care about my facial features and handsomeness.

      It's just an orbital bone. He's got another one. Right?

        Ingle did the right thing for sure. That eye was getting to Brook in that round and he was shipping more punches. He could of ended up with a Margarito eye if it carried on.

          Doesn't Floyd know the pounds just drop a few months ago, If he thinks for a comeback in the UK. Last Vegas Nevada is still the best place for him!

            The end was near. Brook would have lasted maybe two more rounds, but that eye would have gotten worse.

                I agree with Floyd. F**k it, it's just an eye. I mean we got two eyes, right? Who cares if Brook's orbital gets crushed into sawdust and his eye falls out, that's what the backup eye is for. Brook can always be a one eyed fighter and wear a patch and look like a cool pirate.

                  Floyd clearly wanted Brook to win lol. He saw the fight was close going into the 5th round and was likely annoyed that the corner stopped the fight when Brook was in trouble. We've seen guys in bigger trouble in the ring try and ride it out and sometimes come back to win. However, in this case the stoppage was justified. GGG is an enormous puncher and he would have eventually gotten Brook out of there.

                    I agree with Floyd, the fight was close and Brooks corner shouldn't have stopped it. Brook could have won, if he tired GGG out.

                    But GGG was super aggressive int his fight he never let Brook breath, very weird he changed up his style usually GGG is slow and plodding forward picking his punches carefully. He jumped on Brook like a street fight like Brook stole something from him

                      Was the fight close?I was pulling for Brook but even I know he was losing 3-1. This the same guy who had Guerrero beating Garcia.
