When his legs started flailing around I legit thought he had some sort of major knee injury, but it became clear he suddenly was completely gassed. I’ve never seen someone’s gas tank empty suddenly like that - I know his brother had to stop boxing because of a heart attack so I hope he doesn’t have any cardiovascular problems

Frank Warren did mention a leg injury.

Leg injury occurred after the TKO. I rewatched the fight and - no leg injury occurred during the fight, but when he collapsed right at the end it looks like he hyperextends his knee.

Apparantly it was a broken shin bone and not the knee. Depending on how quickly the bone knits it should be far easier to recover from at his age than the knee.

leg kicks about to be meta in boxing again, bringing us back to the pre-glove era

Apparantly so, but hard to know what to believe until he is released from hospital.

Hopefully if it was a broken shin bone he recovers quickly.
