I still won't change my stance...Bowles pussed out. I have NEVER seen a fight stopped because of a hand injury. Cruz didn't and he wanted it more.

*Sorry for the typo in the title*

Well, when you get in there and experience the same thing he did, you can call him a puss. Until then you shouldn't pass judgement when you have no idea what he went through.

Urijah didn't quit either and even fought with one hand. But ultimiately isn't it the doctors decision? I thought they stopped the fight?

There are different degrees of breaks as well. A broken bone on one part of the hand, knuckle or wrist may be completely different (as to pain levels and severity) than other parts of the same hand.

Now who's assuming? YOU have no idea what I'VE been through. So through sports from the time I was 8 to all the fights I've been in (how about the time I was stabbed and didn't quit fighting? Is that good enough?) with all sorts of things busted and broken. And yes I've broken my hand, along with every finger on each hand multiple times. So how about YOU don't assume.

I think the far more intelligent decision is to stop fighting, let the break heal, and come back, rather than grinding the break into powder and risking your career.

....if he would have kept fighting he would have broken both hands like Faber did.....is that smart ? I don't think so. We don't know how severe Dominic's break was either. We all saw the picture of Bowles hand.....it was blown up like a balloon. I'm sorry but for anyone to call Bowles a pussy is idiotic.

Dude,you have no IDEA what Brian went through. During training he had like 8 knife fights and got shot by some KeyBoard Warriors trying to rob a little old lady and ended up weakening his hand proir to the fight after he punched them all in tha face!!! dont assume!!

No one cares what YOU"VE been through and clearly you're biggest warrior out there, battling people while getting stabbed, shot, maced, tasered etc. I bet you're cutting and pasting your 10 threads a day with two broken hands, a broken back and two eye patches on, right? Cuz you're not a pussy, right?

He did the right thing not continuing. Let it heal. Come back.

I can't really say anything about Bowles. My only real injury was a sprained shoulder and that reduced me to a hair above worthless. I wouldn't have continued to fight with my shoulder sprain if it happened in a fight. Its not about the pain, adrenaline helps with that, its about being unable to function how you normally can coupled with potentially harming yourself more.

The doctor stopped the fight, and if the doc seen the hand or Bowels showing it to his conner that would of been a good reason to take a closer look. Fabor and Cruz the doc didn't see it to stop it. There's a lot of if's for a concret answer on this. Not to down play someone who broke their hand before doesn't mean it was anything like theirs.
Plus Bowels was already down on score and with his bread and butter offense not working right may well of been the smartest thing he could of done.
