It was I think because he was into it and my question werent questions he would have expected.
Which is what I was aiming for maybe next time I get the chance I'll record it on video the only reason why I'm hesitant about that is because of having to edit the video and all that...

It was, it was like we called each other to see what we were gonna wear...

Yeah I caught several glimpses of his eye area (lids, eyebrows etc.) when he would move his head and you can clearly see that it's pretty drastic the damage he sustained.
When someone else asked him about his next fight as we sat there he told them "No more I gotta walk away now that I still have my cute face"
His nose doesn't look as bad as it did the last time I seen him. But you can hear it in his voice though almost as if he has a stuffy nose.

I'm like you I started off as a huge Rafa fan but having sat ringside for 2 of the 4 fights (I was there for the 1st and 3rd fight) I quickly became an Izzy fan I'm mean when your emotionally tide to fights like that you just can't help it but admire and respect both fighters. I broke my chair from the excitement at the Home Depot Center...
