    This was a good fight. Damn, I hope Matthysse's eye doesn't end his career. He shouldn't be experiencing symptons this long after the fight...

    :verysad

    I remember the morons giving Lucas **** and calling him a quitter.

    Um, didn't you guys do that for Victor Ortiz, and then it was revealed his jaw was literally broken. :patsch

    No one gave him **** for that. They gave him **** for the Marcos fight.

    These fighters have a life after boxing imagine you was fighting and something funny happened with your eye and you heard it pop and you lost vision its a very scary thing

    Lucas should just retire seems his eye is still acting up

    If it is a head injury or knee whatever than you can brush it to one side and solider on but a eye injury is something very different

    Imagine permanently losing sight?

    :good

    There was no way it was ever the quit job it was made out to be. It had to be serious in a close fight which Matthysse still had every chance of winning.

    This! My roommate was a good amateur that suffered two detached retinas and couldn't turn pro.

    Very true, and he can also choose, when it feel like someone has "popped" his eye, to not fight untill it feels 100% or quit if it doesn't. Much respect for Matthysse, never ducked a challenge, and he is smart enough to realise if he is risking long term damage.

    That's unfortunate, I like Lucas, but he might have to call it quits.

    "You guys"? You referring to the OP? Unless you know specifically it was him I'd throw dirt a little less. But otherwise, a lot of people gave Matthysse, Ortiz, and Angulo tons of ****, calling them "quitters". It's ridiculous, these Arm Chair Warrior are ****ing annoying.
