Dominic Ingle Voice Completely Gone

After the fight it was clear that Dominic Ingle's voice was completely gone when interviewed by Sky Sports. He tried to give an interview but could barely utter a word literally his vocal chords were just gone completely. Does anyone know when he lost his voice? Has he lost his voice like that in past fights?

This sort of explains why he was literally getting as close as possible to Kell's ear at the end of the 4th round. It wasn't just that the crowd was going nuts, it was that the guy lost his voice completely.

It seems to me that this guy was trying to give Kell instructions but Kell couldn't hear a word he was saying because he couldn't muster any more than a whisper.

After listing to the UK Radio feed, they tried to listen in to the corner after one of the early rounds and said something like it's so loud in the arena we can't hear Ingle. That wasn't why, it was obviously because his voice was gone. Now this to me played a major role in this fight because for one Ingle was seemingly unable to communicate with his fighter, especially when he was injured and it seemed that his attempts to make Kell hear him gone in the way of the cutman.

I'm guessing a lot of people just asumed that he lost his voice yelling during the fight and that it was a perfectly normal thing for a trainer to lose his voice during a big fight like that. But to have lost his voice after just 1 or 2 rounds he would have to have been yelling to a point of madness for his voice to go that quickly.

So what I'm asking is does anyone know if Ingle's voice was gone before the fight or was it something that occured literally in the first round? Was he screaming his lungs out in the first round or something?

 

Yeah I think naturally everybody thought that. But that didn't seem to be the case because somebody uploaded the UK radio broadcast of the fight on youtube, and at the end of the 3rd round the broadcast put the microphone into Kell Brook's corner and said they will listen in to Ingle in the Kell Brook corner.

Then after 5 seconds of complete silence from the corner (not even a whisper or a raspey voice) all you could hear is crowd noise and people chatting at ringside they come back on and say with all the noise in the arena "it is so difficult to hear what Dominick Ingle is saying".

So this indicates that his voice was gone even before the 4th round started. I'm wondering if he was able to communicate anything to Brook during the fight and what impact him not having a voice may have had on the fight. Clearly Kell needed a corner that was capable of providing asistance, physically and verbally in a fight of this magnitude, and that clearly didn't happen.

I mean to think that Kell was suffering from a swollen eye that was clearly bothering him, in the biggest fight of his life, and Kell was in dire need of an icepack or an enswell, and didn't seem to get that aid, nor was he able to receive any words of encouragement from his trainer because his trainer's voice was completely gone.

It would seem to me that Ingle had the best of intentions for Kell and cared for his well being, but must have been extremely frustrated that he couldn't communicate to Kell throughout the fight. I don't think anyone can deny the impact Ingle had on this fight, firstly on throwing in the towel, which is generally praised now but at the time was harshly criticized, particularly by Bernard Hopkins on the HBO feed.

Like after the 4th round for example, if Ingle was literally unable to speak, it seemed like there is when you really need a trainer to tell you "I am going to stop the fight if you take any more punches" or something. But the guy couldn't talk, this seems to me that if you were to grade Kell Brook's corner in the fight, they would get like a D-. And I'm not trying to criticize Ingle here, I'm sure he's a great trainer and an even greater human being, but in this fight it seemed that his lack of ability to speak really affected how this ended for Kell. Who knows maybe had he been able to speak he could have instructed the cutman to get an icepack or enswell on the eye, or give Kell words of encouragement or even make it clear that he would stop the fight unless Kell did this or that. (you get what I'm saying?)

I guess as a fan I'm just really frustrated that in the biggest fight of his life, Kell had a corner that didn't help him when he needed to it. Not becuase they didn't care, but because his trainer's voice was completely shot. I'm gutted as a fan for Kell becuase I think a lot of his feel Kell had a lot more to give, and had he gotten an icepack or an enswell, had he had a trainer that he could freakin hear he may have been able to win this fight!
