Come on Fenners you know what I mean, I was talking about the fact that he has stepped up to fight the elite in his last 2 fights, there ain't many people out there better than GGG and Spence Jr, it's certainly a step up from fighting Frankie Gavin and Kevin Bizier, , I was pointing out the fact that once he stepped up his opposition (meaning he will be fighting bigger hitters and getting hit more than usual) he has fractured his right and left eye sockets.

Yes many a lesser man than Brook would have been unconscious long before but it still doesn't change the fact that it is not the most common injury and Brook has suffered identical versions of it to his right and left in successive fights, how many other fighters can you name that have fractured both orbital bones, let alone fracturing them both one after the other?
Yeah I was just saying years of getting walloped in the chops is probably a factor too. Agree it's "unlucky," odd to get serious injuries on opposite eyes in successive fights.
