Comments Thread For: Derrick James On Spence's Surgically Repaired Eye: We Haven't Even Thought About It

[Silence]

I'm not a f**kin conspiracy theorist, but I see no evidence of injury.

[-Kev-]

Even done Spence can beat Ugas because his best asset is the dog in him and that will be there because he has got into great shape, look at Manny going forward into Ugas there were times Ugas looked open to a bigger stronger guy in the same position, that's where I think Errol will win the fight, if he cant box with Ugas he will use his physicality in a dog fight.

This is Errol's biggest fight because it must overcome so many mental hurdles, if he loses it will be hard to get the momentum going again he could be finished on a loss, I think he knows that and will go animalistic if he has too.

A lot of fans always undermine injuries. Pre fight everyone says that so and so at 50% can beat the best so and so. Then it ends up being false because the injury was too much. Unless Spence was superhuman, he can’t fight if his eye becomes damaged.

I remember everyone said that even an injured, 50% version of Sergio Martinez will destroy Miguel Cotto. But that knee injury was too much.

Injuries matter quite a lot. More than fans think. The human body is very fragile even on athletes. When you talk about an eye, that’s an organ, an exposed one. It is there to be able to see, not to get punched or go through car accidents. When you use a body part like the eyes or brain to do something it wasn’t intended for, bad things will happen like injuries. If Spence has even 3 big wins in him, I would be shocked. He destroyed himself.

That would be one of the greatest business moves in boxing history. Get out of the biggest money fight you will ever have in your career vs the best name you will ever fight in your career. All to fight….Yordenis Ugas for considerably less money, and an unknown to mainstream fans.

I have heard of fighters doing the opposite. Pull out with a fake injury to fight in a much bigger fight for more money. But to do the opposite of that…just lol.

Let me pull out of fighting Manny fcking Pacquiao, with a fake injury. I want to fight the younger and fresher Yordenis Ugas for much less money and much less fame. That WBA Super title is now much more important. It’s bigger. It’s history in the making

Something seems off with Spence. I know I’m not the only one seeing and hearing it.

i can’t believe he even recovered from that horrific car crash

I don't agree in this situation with a partially torn retina, its not like a broken orbital bone or a leg tendons torn in half, my uncle had a partial retina tear many years ago and it healed better than it was before the tear, he was a Bull rider and rode for a good 7 years after the repair, Id say the technology would be a lot better today, I had a very large pterygium removed from my eye and although my sight in that eye is blurred it healed very quickly from the surgery, I think the eye might be a part of us that's a good healer.

Im more concerned with Errols time out and whether his timing is on point.

Why on earth would he pull out on Manny when he was working the house down and would have beat the crap out of him, only makes sense to Manny fanboys.
