Malony claims perforated ear drum

[Tom Cruise]

Frank Maloney revealed immediately afterwards that Price had suffered a perforated eardrum.
“We're gutted obviously. But it was a freak knockdown. The punch perforated his eardrum and his balance had gone completely.”

Sounds like promoter trying to save face tbh, but if true it would explain how he lost balance from such a light looking punch...

I call bs. He looked fine after the fight.

Most probably, its always good to get excuses in nice and early for losses like this...

He looked fine. I remember when Barker got a perforated ear drum and he was kinda yawning because he felt like he couldn't hear very well, but this wasn't the case in this fight.

[F!x]

he means perforated ear bum.
