    Geez,he's blind in one eye.

    He couldn't comeback even if he wanted to.

    Brock is completely blind in one eye after a operation to repair his detached retina ..

    Damn people are ****ing assholes.

    "nah man, so what if Brock is Blind in one eye, if he had the heart of a figher he will still be in their man!!!"

    How ****ing dumb are some of you.............. The guy couldn't see a right hand coming when he had his vision, imagine what will happen now that he is blind.

    Wladimir Klitchko

    That's what happened to him. One of Wlad's best KO's in his career.

    I'm sure being blind in one eye isn't considered ''ok''.

    That part sucks, but other than that the man seesm to be doing quite well for himself. He could be doing a whole lot worse... and you don't need two good eyes to make good money.

    Yes,that is true.

    He is doing decent I'd say.

    But waking up everyday blind in one eye will probably make him hate boxing for the rest of his life.

    I feel bad for him, and for someone like me that's just entering boxing, the thought of going blind is scary, but like Calvin Brock did, he made the most of what he had, if he hadn't tried professional boxing he probably would've regretted it the rest of his life, so despite being blind, he had the enjoyment of doing what he wanted to do.

    He sucked anyways.. Wasn't he like a boxing banker or some****?? He's pretty educated i heard so let em just work at a bank. He'll be fine.

    'The boxing banker' nickname kind of gave it away that he wasn't going to be as daft as most boxers when it came to career choices after they hang up their gloves.
