Less blood, less worry

Jacob Duran’s conversation with Fighthype.com illuminates the situation with precision. He begins, “Yeah, you can see a lot… I mean, I can see a lot. He was up like this so the cut was open.” This vivid description immediately sets the stage for understanding the gravity and nature of Tyson Fury’s injury. Duran emphasizes, “So normally it would kind of be in this position but yeah they should have rightly stopped it and give him time for it to heal and then come right back.”

Importantly, Duran reassures, “I did an interview before and there’s not that many blood vessels up there.” This statement challenges common fears about the cut, suggesting a less alarming scenario than initially thought. He elaborates, “So even though the cut is thin in slice the blood would more likely come down to the side. If it bled a lot but it wouldn’t bleed a lot.”
