You cannot take comments by those who have never sponged a punch serious. They have zero validity. He's always conducted himself as a professional and deserves nothing but high praise for working himself back to proper weight and meeting his mandatory. Spence was not a quitter, what he was was a beaten fighter who frankly was taking more damage than just the eye. By far it was the major significant damage, but there is a whiff out there like Spence just got a few lucky punches in or something.

I wonder if the latest eye injury was in anyway helped along because he has a titanium plate in his right eye socket?
Obviously im no doctor but mayne that itself puts a lot of pressure and stress on the other eye socket, then 11 rounds of having it caved in non stop on top.

Seems crazy he has had the exact same injury in 2 back to back fights.

This is the question I asked in the other thread, I can't think of any type of underlying problem that would cause you to have weak eye sockets (sounds stupid even writing it) but to suffer 2 fractures of the same nature in 2 successive fights just seems bizarre to me.

Not to be flip but it surely did him no favors going from one of the biggest punchers in one division to another at 147. No telling if he had an underlying problem all together that went undetected in the first place. For any fighter it has to be in the back of their mind though. Maybe on a much lesser scale it could be like trying to adjust after a bad cut, broken jaw fighting to defend the area. All injuries have to cause compensation in one way or another. Not sure if Paulie had a plate put in after Cotto broke his orbital but remember him talking about 'feeling it in his teeth'

That's sort of what im thinking..
If the strength of the titanium plate somehow forced or concentrated the stress and impact of Spences punches over to the other side of Brooks face?

The odds of that injury happening twice must be massive and I've never known it happen before?

Than I am not sure how long they have been using Titanium rebuilds, particularly for an active boxer. Maybe if they do the other one he becomes like Robobrook and f**ks the other guys hand up

Ricky Burns needed Titanium for his jaw after the Beltran fight

[Spicoli]

I have no idea if that's how it works to be honest but it would seemingly do little to lessen or redirect the concussive impact of a punch? I don't think Abraham started having reoccurring breaks on the other side of his face or Barrera with a titanium plate in his skull after brain surgery post Junior Jones rematch.

Someone needs to clump the phantom of the opera to get to the bottom of this
