Cutting through the fear
Jacob Duran recently shared his insights with Fighthype.com regarding Tyson Fury’s injury, shedding light on the situation with remarkable precision. “Yeah, you can see a lot… I mean, I can see a lot. He was up like this so the cut was open,” Duran described, painting a clear picture of the injury’s severity. He supports the decision to halt the fight, emphasizing the necessity of healing: “They should have rightly stopped it and give him time for it to heal and then come right back.”
Addressing concerns about bleeding, Duran reassures, “I did an interview before and there’s not that many blood vessels up there.” He suggests the cut’s location minimizes the risk of excessive bleeding, concluding, “If it bled a lot but it wouldn’t bleed a lot.”
