    Here's hoping his eye fully recovers. Brock is one of the more well spoken, articulate, and professional acting fighters in the heavyweight divsion.

    I'm no doctor, but that sounds pretty permanent.

    I heard that Brock was educated, so I hope he has a degree are some skills to fall back on. He seems like a great person.

    Damn that's tough to hear, just hopes he gets better and continues to live a productive life..

    I believes he's very educated outside the ring so hopefully he has something to fall back on...

    That's terrible news. My prayers go out to him. I hope he has been able to put away some money.

    damn, I hope its not permanent. I Hope he can regain vision in his eye, that would suck if he had to be permanently blind in one eye.

    These are the risks a pro-fighter has to take. I hope things will be alright for him.
    Atleast he's still young and has a University degree in finance. He has already worked as a banker, so he can continue in that career and don't have to be dependend on boxing.
    Not like Corey T. Sanders, a HW who's also blind on one eye and has to keep fighting and getting beaten up in order to make a living. He's not getting a licence in the U.S. so he has to travel around the world to fight, it's ****ing tragic...

    I hope he invested some money somewhere, where he can make some residual income, because if he didnt that would be sad

    The Corey Sanders who beat Wlad? I thought he was a pro golfer.

    Hope it is not permanent. Please do not box again. You are smart and can make money in banking so do not make a come back.

    Terrible news. I don't understand how he saying things about coming back? How could he even think about it? I can't see him even getting licensed. But I wish him the best and I think he should give commentating a shot. Seems to be quite intelligent and I'd like to see what he has. I think he could be successful in a commenting role.
