An injury robbed us of a classic bout

[Cutthroat]

We sa Manny Pacquiao gets usted eardrum by Miguel cotto but he still stopped cotto. Then again Pac is a got damn soldier

Pac was not being thrown off balance by mere body shots or tripping over himself nor was Ward like someone else mentioned.

You never watched Gatti Ward 2. Micky was all over the place and had to use the ropes to stabilize himself several times. At one point he started tipping to the left so hard he slid from post to post.

That's exactly what a busted ear drum is, thanks for confirming it.

It causes vertigo. Wilder would've been mauled by anyone with that injury. He literally got off balance from a simple body shot and dropped to the canvas, there were several instances where he kept losing balance.

So tyson shouldn’t have punched him that hard?????

Reminds me of people saying matthysse was getting beat down by garcia because his right eye was swollen!!!
Well how did his eye got swollen in the first place genius!!

So how did he get his eardrum busted in the first place?? Because he was getting beat up!!! It’s not someone’s fault when you have a cut or whatever if it’s caused by a legal punch.

Fury had to deal with the badly cut eye in the Wallin fight. I wonder if the OP felt the same way about Fury's situation then...or was he one of the guys who insisted that that fight should have been stopped? Did he defend Fury then? Did he make that an excuse for Fury having a harder fight than expected?

It doesn't take a hard punch to bust an ear drum, you can do it with a jab, it's pretty much a freak accident, the glove has to hit your ear just right to create pressure inside the ear and pop.

A cut is way easier to deal with, your ear is literally influences your balance. How many times you seen a guy fall over from a body shot like Wilder did?

Another one is Carl Froch who went INTO the Pascal fight with a busted eardrum

And two broken ribs too!

They just told you examples of many boxers that won and fought a war with busted ear drums and what not.
So wilder is weaker than them??
And at the post conference they said it’s a cut just at the entrance of the ear, there was not damn eardrum that got busted. You’d hear it from wilder too in the post interview if that was the case

You're right, I just saw it and his movements looked much like Wilder's, but it didn't affect Pac much.

Wilder already has bad balance, this made it even worse.

All kidding aside, it was not a thing of beauty.

Fury wasn't landing crisp combos and Wilder was several levels below amateur.

The better man won but the better man didn't look that good doing it.

Watch the featherweights then.

Why would Fury try to land crisp combos at range? So Wilder could swing back?

He was hitting Wilder on the way in and then putting the body on him. Crowding him, leaning on him, fighting on the inside.

Didn't look good? I thought he looked absolutely brilliant. In fact, I'd put that performance against any heavyweight performance in recent memory.

Plenty thought he could win. Plenty thought he could beat Wilder inside the distance. But no-one saw it coming like that. He was completely dominant. He mauled the guy.

I don't rate Wilder, but it takes a pretty special performance to beat him up that badly.
