Chagaev - torn retina
Barrios - torn retina
Z Gorres - torn retina
Gerson Guerrero - torn retina

All with the exception of Gorres are now not cleared to fight because of their eye doctors' diagnoses. When did boxing all of a sudden start worrying about this problem at this level? It could all be a coincidence, but something else is telling me that we're gonna be seeing more of this.

Man this is a good thing. You only have one set of eyes. I wouldn't want to take shots on the face with a torn retina, just the sound of the phrase is painful.

The first time I'd heard of a torn retina was when Leonard retired.
