Son of a b*tch. I was searching for weigh-in info (location, time, etc.) and stumbled across this story on another site.
I bought tickets for this fight. Say what you want about Roy, but if you've been a lifelong fan, having the opportunity to see him fight live is thrilling.Comment

Poor Roy.
I just remembered, I usually see him wear Cleto Reyes training gloves during sparring. While I don't remember hearing any news of Roy hurting his hands in the past, this seems to be a first.
I really think he and all serious fighters should be wearing more protective gloves like Winning. I don't think I've ever heard of a hand injury from fighters known to wear Winning brand gloves in training.
Sure, $300+ for a pair of gloves is insane, but I think they're worth it, as I have my own pair and love them to death.Comment
