I first read about Eastman's injury on The Times boxingblog. Does this reporting considered tabloid or internet, as Ron Lewis writes for The Times [proper]. Although I have to agree with Bunce, that some clown jumped the gun in relation to actual extent of injuries suffered. http://timesonline.typepad.com/boxing/
Really hope Gilbert Eastman makes a full recovery. Dreadful situation for his loved ones so my thoughts go out to them - must be a tough time for his opponent Sam Webb too.
I agree... any news yet anyone? Had a quick scan online nothing so far. I'm sure he'll be ok... We've had a few recent incidents in the UK that have all come out very well for the fighters involved.
Bleh didnt see this thread and started another. Aparently the operation was a success. Hopefully he'll suffer no long term effects.
I agree, always a tough time for an opponent under these circumstances. I hope that Gilberts injuries aren't too serious and he makes a full recovery ASAP.
