BJS suffered a triple fracture to his eye socket

[DoctorTaco]

Be easier if you just said you don't like Canelo and don't want be reasonable about it instead.

You must be new to the internet.

 

[DoctorTaco]

you think his break was worse than margaritos fights when he broke his orbital. Or Vargas Mosley Or Arthur abrahams not able to close his mouth for 8 rounds? Or the other countless injuries similar.

is it impossible to go on or is it based on the man. mental toughness and a never quit mentality?

If my fighter is up on the cards and gets an injury like this we are taking it one round at a time and seeing if we can get the win. If he’s down on the cards and gets his face caved in then I’m calling it.

the trainer did the right thing.

Superdumb strikes again

"He doesn't hit hard, he only broke his cheekbone"

<Lmaoo>

The equivalent of "he was winning until he got knocked out !!"

 

[Fedor>Cain]

This is the punch that did it. Beautiful

Pretty incredible that he didn't go down tbw. Practically headbutted canelo's fist.

Could tell from the opening bell that he was gonna get caught by one sooner or later. Ducked down like that far too many times even after it was obvious that Canelo was hunting for it as soon as the fight started.

All boxers have punching power. The question is how much. Canelo isn't a massive puncher, despite claims to the contrary. Guys who have been in the ring have said as much. Watching him says as much. He landed a perfect punch and still couldn't separate BJS from his senses.

Lol....yeah, it just caved in his face. I think it says more about BJS actually being a tough MF’r than any lack of power.

He isn’t Ernie Shavers, but he’s got thudding power.

It sounded like Canelo was hitting BJS with a baseball bat.

Injuries are a weird thing if Billy's eye socket had remained ridged the force would have been absorbed by his spinal column and would have shocked the brain further. His eye socket going could have saved him from the brain injury.

Canelo hits like a train and he throws with bad intentions especially against men like BJS whose power doesn't pose a risk. Can't sit on every punch with GGG because he's just as dangerous as Alvarez is; maybe more if you get in a fire fight.

 

[Cariñito]

Lets not forget the clean massive shot Canelo landed on GGG that didn't phase him.

And lets not forget all the smaller guys he fought while he was still a weight bully who he could barely dent.

Nobody is claiming he's feather fisted. But he's not some massive intimidating puncher.

Someone should spit in your face for such ridiculousness.

 

[camygod]

Yea Willie Monroe Jr had to take a punch to the balls from Billy's son. What goes around comes around.

what you expect with a parent like that kids a little cunt

I’d say the line between heart and insanity is a thin one when an eye is at stake.

 

[Zanderlini]

Sounds like Canelo did a number on his skull.

 

[boxingskills]

This injury is no joke.

I think we also have to weigh up the situation in how the fight is going at the time of the injury. Saunders was down on the scorecards, couldn't hurt Canelo, and now has 1 eye. The smart thing to do in that situation is to get him out of there instead of getting his ass kicked more for the next 4 rounds. If he had knocked Canelo down a time or 2 or was clearly ahead in the fight it would have been more worth risking the eye when there was a chance at winning.

Definitely. In retrospect there was nothing wrong with Dubois's taking a knee or BJS's corner calling it quits. I, for one, don't watch boxing to see guys get crippled.

 

[Jonny Ninja]

Which other British fighters have had this injury recently?

Kel brook and Daniel Dubois off the top of my head. It isn’t a very common injury in boxing

 

[Goatenstein]

Canelo was gearing up to counter that weak wide hook and god damn what a perfect trajectory BJS gave his own head to Canelos's tainted beef fist.

 

[CodCommando]

He need some milk.

 

[Windy River]

Who gives a fuck about senses when you can literally send someone to the hospital with a very serious injury? He just destroyed part of that man's face. That beats any knock out. A knock out is just a nap. This is physical destruction. Plus, a KO doesn't require that much power. It takes more power to break bones with your hands than to KO someone. A KO is just the right punch at the right time. KO punches are often not that hard. They just landed perfectly.

Exactly. Canelo dishes out punishing beatings. He’s not out there carefully crafting an unexpected shot to the chin (unexpected + chin being the 2 key ingredients to most 1-punch KO’s, see Floyd vs Hatton). Rather he is deliberately beating down the body and head of his opponents. Plenty of power there, delivered to punish more so than KO.

Questioning someones power in a thread where it broke someone's face?
I'm not a big fan but I think that argument can be put to bed.
