Fans watching the super-flyweight boxing fight between Fernando Martinez and Jade Bornea's were left feeling rather queasy after the latter's ear appeared to 'pop' or 'explode' after taking a nasty hit in the savage fight.
As seen in the camera footage of the fight, the impact splattered blood all over the lens of the camera in one of the latter rounds of the fight. The stream quickly changed cameras after the bloody stains obscured the view of those watching from home.
The tweet posted by SHOWTIME Boxing was filled with hundreds of comments of fans expressing their shock at the savage nature of the fight and the shot then left Bornea's ear in a bad way.
"Are those blood stains on the camera," commented an exasperated fan on the post. "That shot was crazy," said another. The most gruesome injury I've ever seen," was one of the top comments.
In the end, the fight was stopped in the 11th round after Bornea suffered serious physical damage.
