    Prob most fighters have plenty of hairline fractures in their face. Shipping punishment off the hardest p4p hitter then going back down must stress your body to extremes. He's going to need at least a year off imo. His face must be mush

    we'll never know anything regarding those breaks
    what I've done is investigated as in depth as possible Brooks last two losses, funny I've gained more respect for his fight game than I've ever had

    his corner did right in stopping the ggg fight. he was simply out gunned, has nothing left and couldn't see.

    against Spence I've now see the eye injury did in fact break in round 6 but brook put in his career best performance, dead even after 6, yes Spence swept the rest put brook still had plenty of moments and landed a handful of upper cuts, straight rights and some left hooks that almost changed things.

    brook should be looking for that rematch, I get not wanting to fight the most hungry and toughest ww out there after those 2 fights, but even after the kd in 10, half blind seeing 3 spences and still was firing and landing what were fight enders if not then the beginning of the end power shots.

    I guess, go up and grab sww belts and rematch brook and whoop Thurman at 54. brook is still peaking, he was at his very best couple Sat ago, enough with the exposed, shot and over rated bull****, he just ran in to a fighter that refused to lose and had the talent and will to get it done

    He fought incredibly well in both, two of the most impressive performances of his career actually (despite the outcomes).

    I really hope Brook takes enough time to heal and comes back even stronger.

    His performance over spence was exceptional the only reason he lost for me was because of the damage golovkin did and the fact he got scarred from that experience.
    Brook took spences shots well and was actually backing him its just when the eye broke the fight went down hill.

    Differrent eye numbskull. Brook lost because he went up against a better fighter. Spence was beating his ass as bad as Golovkin and he was forced to take a knee.

    I know it was a different eye. But both eyes are attached to the same skull. It's not like GGG broke his left arm and I'm comparing it to his right arm. The eye sockets are just a few inches away from each other on the same bone essentially. I'm wondering if one injury could have comprised the structural integrity of his skull as a whole.
    Although I appreciate your personal attack.

    never heard of a impact injury? Golovkin hit him so it gave tiny fragment damage around his face MAKING it more easier for future damage

    My cousin broke his left eye socket while hitting it against the dashboard while driving when he had it checked they saw his other eye socket had tiny fragment damage because of the force.

    there are 14 separate bones in your face, 11 of them lie in between the 2 orbital bones. if golovkins punch was hard enough to damage the orbital on the opposite side, those 11 bones would be powder.
