How bad was Inoue's eye injury when he fought Donaire compared to Saunders?

Inoue was seeing 2-3 Donaires he said. And it's transformed the way he looks now, so pretty bad, but probably a big fracture versus multiple for Saunders. Still, different level of balls.

 

Even the ultra tough Chuvalo quit after a similar injury, so I think inoue is the exception.

 

How do you think anyone here would know?

 

Inoue also had his nose broken. So broken eye and broken nose and he still forged on to beat the crap out of Nonito.

 

The nuances from any of those hardly give you anything to answer the question with any strength.

 

AFAIK the Orbital socket is lots of different bones, and what Saunders got was effectively his cheekbone was DETACHED from the rest of his skull. Just the thought of that makes me a tad squeamish, so I can only imagine what that must have felt like knowing that Canelo was waiting to batter it some more. His corner did the right thing.

Not downplaying Inoue's - but I assume his fracture was on the upper part of the socket, and he and his team would not have felt bone moving around, making it a far easier (but possibly still foolhardy) proposition to box on.

It's fine lines in Boxing, but just imagine if Inoue had suffered some kind of reaction like Watson / G-Man, everyone would be throwing has corner under the bus for not saving him from himself.

 

Based on that photo I question whether or not the Monster even had any broken bones. No swelling, no discoloring.
No blood from his nose; it's perfectly straight!

It may be on the level of a Manny shoulder injury or an urban legend.

 

It's possible where the cut is that maybe it was chipped. Which is another thing - i've heard chipped bone/facture used inter-changably, but it's not the same as a break. Back when I was a kid, even facture was deemed not as s erious as a break.

I guess it doesn't do a fighers mythology any harm to exaggerate the truth a bit!

Short of them actually publishing the x-ray snaps, it's all just speculation.

Still worst I remember seeing was Arthur Abraham vs Edison Miranda (broken jaw not Oribtal socket mind), that gave me the bolk, Abraham bringing up black blood and his jaw horrifically swollen. Can't believe he managed to finish that fight!

 

Pauli Mags took terrific punishment from Miguel Cotto...and finished the fight. I don't know what bones if any were broken, but I believe it
was an orbital bone issue PLUS a broken jaw.

Good question: like there bunches with experienced doctors are sitting with MR and CT scans and reports + licenses and certificates to evalue this stuff IF provided with research results and had saw and checked up guy.
Yeah, funny, I agree.
