Comments Thread For: Spence Broke Brook's Left Orbital Bone, Surgery a Possibility

[richardt]

Ha! Wow, you casuals are so hilarious sometimes. The man's in charge of his career, which BTW isn't over til he says it is. My guess is he takes some months away to recup from surgery, then returns at jr middleweight to test the waters. He's, what, 31? So IOW probably needed to move up before now. But anyway, if he gets the same surgery on this eye, there's really no reason to be concerned. Sports related orthopedics has made super human advances in recent years.

He broke one orbital bone in his last fight and now he has broken the other orbital bone. Time to retire instead of satiate blood lust casuals like you.

His future should be decided by his mental state. If he's going to end up afraid to take punches then boxing's not going to be his sport any more. He's still more than capable of being a world level fighter if he can put the injuries out of his mind, but I think we saw last night that he can't do that.

There are some ****** mofos on this forum. Brook's right eye that was surgically repaired held up just fine. He can get the same surgery on his left eye and it will be STRONGER than before it was broken.

I give some credit to Spence but he was LOSING the fight before Brook's eye socket bone went out on him.

Imagine if Brook had had no problems with his orbital bone, he most likely would've WON the fight. Let Brook go back to the same doctor who fixed up his right eye then he can come back and beat Spence in the rematch.

I think Brook is finished as an elite fighter. I don't think this is the type of injuries that a fighter can come back from and ever be the same. Just like when Pacquiao used Margarito eye for target practice and Margs eye from that point foward looks like a replica of Sammy Davis Jr. glass eye.

Brook is washed.

He should fight Khan next because he won't have any damage done to his face with Khan's pillow hands.

Reading through these discussion threads, I'm convinced the toughest people in the world are members to this site. How many people who would just push through a cracked orbital bone like it is a bruised knee.

Fighters take a great deal of punishment in the ring, broken hands, cuts, teeth knocked out, etc. Orbital fractures are not so common and pushing on thru them is also not so common.

Brook was fighting a competitive match but was getting the worse of the wear. At some point, he suffered the injury and in the 11th he could no longer take it or didn't want to chance the permanent injury. There's no shame in that. Brook is either unlucky or has some bone composition that makes him more susceptible. Either way, I don't fault him for deciding to bail out of the fight at that moment.

As a fan of brook i think he should retire 2 surgeries in a year on both eyes is too much he will never be able to compete at the top again without taking a huge risk with his health but if he has 1 more fight then him vs khan will give him a nice retirement pay off

Anyone else a little disappointed with the level of boxing they showed? I felt neither performed near their best maybe it was a style thing

[The plunger man]

He should retire.....both eye sockets fractured in his last two fights now and that should tell him something is not right , weak bones or just damn unlucky...up to the 8th round brook was up and actually looking like the stronger guy but spence showed he has a another gear and is relentless in his quest to become a champion...brook should bow out now and spence has the world at his feet

[future hendrixx]

perfect matchup.
