Prediction: correct Eye   wrong Decision  

Not confident in this fight, but Eye should be able to stay out of the clinch and use her boxing.

Leslie Smith is one of those few who can lose badly and still look badass and frickin' awesome ... I mean come one ... her ear was dangling on a thread and she wants to fight on so bad she gets the crowd into it to pressure the doc and refs. I could totally see her ripping it off and saying "take the bloody thing, stick it in a little icebox and give to me later, let's do this thing!"

They made a great call to protect her from her own awesomeness, but man, that was a pretty epic moment for me.

If I used to love her 12 on a scale of 1 to 10, it just went up to 19.

A little follow up interview with Smith.  Her ear actually looks pretty good.

I still stand by cosmetic injuries shouldn't factor in a doctor stoppage.  The doctor is there to decide you can't continue due to there being a health risk or performance drop in doing so.  An ear doesn't affect a fighter's in-fight offense or defense and should be the fighter's call on cosmetic stoppages.  I'm in the minority here because of how it looked, but the doctor isn't there to determine a fighter can't continue because of an ear split open.

Q: So you don't sound completely at ease with the fight being stopped?

A: Again, I get it after seeing how it looked. But I also had everything essential to keep fighting: my hands were fine, my vision was fine. That's what I was yelling at the crowd after the fight.


Exactly as she says, the doctor determines injuries that will affect performance or a serious medical risk.

I have to wonder how that will effect your equilibrium if the lobe were to fall off.

It's not like a small toe for balance, I think your equilibrium is just affected by the shape of your `inner` ear, minus getting clipped or popping an eardrum of course.

I have to imagine that there would be some impact on how well you could hear if the entire external structure of your ear was torn off as well.  Either way, Eye definitely was in control of the fight up to that point, so it probably didn't alter the end result.

Kbreaux, that injury isn't purely cosmetic though. A wound that large risks a lot of blood loss, not to mention there is a chance that the ear is separated in such a way that it couldn't be repaired.

I'm not sayin I wanted to see it pounded again, I just think the doctor stepped beyond the reasons to call a fight being lessened fighting ability or serious medical issues.  I just consider the ear cosmetic as most any fighter would.  I don't think the outcome would've differed, just was a call I think the doctor should've let the fighter or corner make.
