If Antonio Margarito suffered a fractured orbital bone, than here is what to expect from this type of injury. The picture in the front details the main bones in and around the eye. The link in bold (first sentence) details injury and treatment.

Yeah, an injury like this could have been more than severe
Severe it is. Margarito came close to losing/tearing the muscle behind the eye. If that would have happened. . . . .the potential to having a detached retina was very great. Hell, even without the tearing of eye muscle, he could have been banged so hard last night- I’m sure Margo’s getting the full on CT scan on his eye, face, head- you name it. Neurology is my field, and that guy looked concussive at the end of the fight. It looked like he was “dragging” on his left side. Feet and legs were just shuffling and his shoulder appeared damaged.
It is what it is. Garcia didn’t do his fellow Mexican any favors by letting him last to the 12th.

Good stuff

You're welcome and. . . . . .
. . . . GREAT signature tagline, BoxAnne. I’m a “numbers” guy myself- literally and figuratively. In one particular endeavor however, I’m not all that successful with numbers- wagering! I’m usually on the better side of wrong when it comes to picking winners. . . . it’s the “spread” that defeats me. And mercilessly, at that.
In my vocation, numbers are everything- especially with regards to analysis. Apart from that though, I love reading about and working with numbers in my leisure. Especially the “value of zero”. The whole “less than” quantitive analysis of numbers, in particular- zero, has always fascinated me.
If you’re up for it, I read an excellent book called, “The Nothing That Is” (The Natural History of Zero) by Robert Kaplan (Oxford University Press) . It’s a treat for a read as it goes on a comprehensive study and account of humanity’s evolutionary growth as a analytical species helped, in large part, by our wonderful and complex imaginations which, consequently- drive our quest and curiosity for validating or refuting our mind’s imaginations thereby stretching the boundaries of human knowledge. The book might seem to be chock full of drab and dreary computations and equations (which it just HAS TO have), but more so- it is written in a very colorful and literary manner. In other words, you don’t have to be a major math whiz to “get it”. The storylines alone could be compiled into a wonderful essay on historical accounts of “who (civilization or culture) knew what first” and how those people utilized their newfound knowledge and influence upon other “less knowledgeable” civilizations/cultures.
Sorry for my verbosity, I got carried away with the words of Thurber in your signature. Happy Thanksgiving to you BoxAnne. (and everyone else here on Bad Left Hook)
