as for the blood...Donaire visited a hand specialist this week in Los Angeles and told ESPN.com on Wednesday night that "everything looked good and my hand is OK."
Donaire said that X-rays on Tuesday came back negative for fractures and that an MRI exam on Wednesday showed no serious damage either.
"My hand is swollen and there is damaged soft tissue, but everything is good," Donaire said. "The doctor said I need three or four weeks to get the proper healing and then I can go."
so then now with Mares moving up, lets see what happensSeeing blood covering a fighter's hand after a match is unusual, but Donaire said he was told that the reason was because his hand had swelled so much that the skin popped open as he continued to hit Vazquez.
"The blood was because I popped a little vein in there, near the knuckle area, but it was nothing major, just bloody," Donaire said. "It was a vein and that's why it was bleeding a lot. It kept bleeding and didn't stop bleeding until the next day. My hand kept bleeding after the fight. I guess from all the impact, I popped a vein.
"It looked really bad and it felt so painful for a couple of days, but it was unbearable in the later rounds of the fight. I'm just very thankful that there's nothing seriously wrong and that I will be ready to go when we get our next date from Top Rank."
