Maybe with Kellerman gone ...
Anyway, in the 2d round of the Moralez-Chavez fight tonight - worth checking out on the replay tomorrow - Chavez throws a WILD overhand right that catches nothing. He flinches, guards, and I say out loud "Oh, he dislocated it."
SIX ROUNDS LATER, George Foreman - the cluelessest of the clueless announcers and don't get me started on how Larry Merchant has a job - finally notes that Chavez hasn't thrown a right since the second.
In the third round, I noticed that Chavez was holding it in a guard position and said "You know, I think he tore his rotator cuff." At the end of the fight, Chavez says "I reinjured it. Tearing my cuff is what postponed my last fight."
But really, check it out. It's not Gatti-Ward III where Gatti had shattered his hand and KEPT PUNCHING WITH IT, but it's a darn good fight ... and this post didn't give it away.

Can't argue at all with TFD's Top Ten. My Oscar picks tomorrow, like you care ...
