Headbutts and cuts are common occurrences in boxing. They’re expected and learning how to deal with them is essential for the fighter, and their corner.

However, there are times when injuries sustained as a result of a punch or head clash, is virtually impossible to deal with. Some of the worst injuries in boxing are seen in the following fights.


1) Erik Morales vs Marcos Maidana
When this fight was initially made, many of the media and public thought it was a joke. It was clear that the great Erik Morales’ best days were far behind him, having won only 3 of his last 7 fights against low level opposition.

Marcos Maidana was arguably the hardest puncher in the 140lbs division and was on the rise. Out of 29 fights, 27 of them were by knockout and his two losses were close against decent competition.

However, Morales believed in himself and asked for the fight with Maidana, which at the time seemed suicidal.

Maidana came out fast and hard and immediately put Morales on the back foot. An uppercut landed in the first round and Morales’ eye began to swell up. It seemed as though everyone was right, that it was only a matter of time before Morales was going to be blown away.

As the rounds went by, Morales was using his superior technique to defend and counter against the powerful punches from the Argentinian. However, he couldn’t defend against all of them and eventually, the swelling on his eye got so bad that from round 4 onwards, Morales was fighting with only one eye.

What was so amazing is that not only did Morales survive the onslaught by a younger, fresher, harder punching opponent, but he was fighting back and hurting Maidana on several occasions all while only having one good eye.

Morales did this for the entire 12 rounds and although it wasn’t enough to win him the fight, he won the event and proved everyone wrong. The huge swelling on his right eye is a testament to Morales’ fighting spirit and huge heart.
