Ouch! His first ONE fight left him with some serious damage.
“The punch that hit me instantly blinded me and split both eyelids in half,” Alvarez wrote on Instagram. “It felt like my eye exploded from the inside and the pain was instant. From an outsider watching myself, I should have expected the result considering my actions. You have to punch, kick, takedown and pressure to win a fight. I waited. I simply waited too long for the correct timing and opening that never came.”
