One Of The Nastiest Swellings I've Ever Seen

Eddie Cook after his bout with Diego Avila for the USBA bantamweight title. (From a screenshot)

ghoster, good to see you on here....
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.

No s!!!. Nice one Mick.I think you got it with Avila as a Last minute replacement.Cook was all brass In his first bout outside of 8 rounds.He did well to box out over 12,bout was almost stopped a couple times if I remember right.

Cook was Pure excitment.....Fast burning and short run but Fun to watch.He did bounce back in next fight after Avila loss to look real sharp with Dominate Clinic Tko over Continentals Americas Champion...(If that means anything lol) Johnny Vasquez.Dio Andujar got him ugly in Next fight....I think(?) a one punch KO loss.

He Got his Belt with Picture-esqu KO over Very credible Israel Contreas then made An Ill fated venture to Columbia where He Traded KD's in a real battle and Iffy call (Imo) with Julio.Real solid exciting fighter..........With a better chin He might have hung around.

I remember a fight with Hagler where both of his eyes were shit and he wouldn't quit he wouldn't let his corner throw in the towel.

Then another one with Kevin Kelley his corner throwing in the towel. Sad sight Kelley telling his corner "my eyes are almost shut" and his corner said "fights over kid...there's always tomorrow.." sad because Kevin looked heartbroken after that one

Shit, his eye was even worse than I thought from the footage. So Morales genuinely almost beat Maidana with one eye. Ha. What does this say about Maidana and even Khan. Interesting. If Morales had of picked up a cut in that at any stage during the fight it would have been curtains without a doubt. Probably would have opened up like a muff. Ha.

No need to say anything to justify a rematch. A picture is worth a thousand words.

what about frikkin hasi rahman and evander holyfield. what the hell was that rahman looked like a Neptunian river monster on his way to buy breakfast at a breakfast plaace, somewhere around a Thursday morning in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Morales' eye is ruined! I agree with Magic, that pic shows a far worse eye than what i remember!

Gotta put up Vargas' eye too:

Shane must have had something in his fists.
