One Of The Nastiest Swellings I've Ever Seen

Fightnews.com

That's Gary Stark Jr. after he won against Andres Ledesma. Apparently he finished 3 rounds with the eye in that condition. I can't believe that was allowed to continue.

Anyways, post some of your favorites if you wish.

Yep that's a nice one.

Vargas looked bad against Mosley
Corrales against Castillo also

How in the fuck does a fight go on for 10 rounds like this?

Now I'm sure he didn't start off like this BUT I've beeb watching my entire life I've seen thousands of fights.
There is no way this shit! happened AFTER the fight as there is also an action shot where Garys eye is already clearly shut!

NY comission failed big time here IMO.

Yeah Vargas is a popular one and that was a nice little mouse Chico had after Castillo.

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.

Vargas swelling began above the eye and once it got into and below the eye that's when it was stopped.

Chicos mouse is nothing compared to this...

NY comission should be ashamed.

That does rank up there...Also Rahman in the Holyfield fight...Corrales in the Castillio 1 fight, Frazier after Ali 3, Gatti after being hit with a crumpled piece of paper,

Who's the top offical in NY?

Whoever it is he needs to review this shit and come up with something...

I didn't see the fight but you would think that no one with an eye like that would be able to continue no matter the circumstances. The article also says he was hurt badly in the 8th round but survived. It's hard to believe the referee let Stark have any sort of a leash as far as being hurt with the eye in that condition. That's just nasty but then again I didn't see the fight so I don't really know how bad he was hurt of if he was taking any punishment to that eye.

I had already posted the same pic earlier in a different thread, and here is a side pic that I posted with it. Pretty gross.



Have some rep amat for having the same idea.

Yeah I just saw the boxing injuries thread. Wow, the side view just makes it look that much worse. Nice find

Gatti in his ring walks...

LOL I am a huge Gatti fan and he has given me my moneys worth in the ring more times then I can count but the poor guy just swells like nothing...

I could not imagine what a bout of hay fever does to him

[miron_lang]

Rahman's hematoma is the worst but in terms of swelling that must be it
