Hey if I remember correctly wasn't Avila a last minute replacement?
Eddie was a highly talked about prospect and then this fight put a question mark on him.....
Eddie looses his next fight and then years later looses to Elicer and MAB.

I think the worst I have seen are:
Rachman vs Holyfield
Vargas vs Mosley
Thiam vs Trinidad (This one was particularly impressive cause it only took 3 rounds) |

Nasty.
I assume he had a points lead and just hung on? I can't see how he would have won rounds like that. Probably why they let it go on. Or maybe not, but it wouldn't surprise me. |

Also Rahman had it pretty bad when he grew a second head versus Holyfield.
And there was a guy in the first world cup of boxing, I think he was fighting Vorapin (could be wrong), but he had an intense swelling that went from like his ear to his nose and up his forehead. He was getting it pounded with every punch and each time he would wince in pain but the fight was never stopped. That was a bad one. | Holyfield vs Rahman definetly won odf the worst I've seen |

Sebastion Lujon having his ear almost taken off by Antonio Margarito was pretty grim.
And of course there was Arthur Abraham parading his new slack jaw look against Miranda http://cache.viewimages.com/xc/71978...0A659CEC4C8CB6

Here's that one I mentioned from the first boxing world cup. It wasn't Vorapin, it was Phosawan who was facing Fernando Montiel. The pictures don't give you a full picture of the swelling, but they give you the idea. Montiel has a little mouse, but check out the right side of Phosawan's face.   | |
