PrintHere's a photo of Nonito Donaire's injured hand still in the wraps post-fight, via Top Rank's Carl Moretti:
The extent of the injury still isn't known and likely won't be until tomorrow or Monday, whenever they get around to releasing the info, but Donaire said after his win over Wilfredo Vazquez Jr that he injured it in the early rounds of the fight. He still swung his left hand frequently and didn't appear to have any huge issue with using it, so hopefully the injury isn't that bad, but it's obvious something went wrong.
Donaire (28-1, 18 KO) definitely didn't have a breathtaking debut at 122 pounds, but in another way, Vazquez (21-2-1, 18 KO) proved he can fight better and smarter than he did against Jorge Arce last year in his upset loss to the Mexican warrior. Donaire put him down once, but Vazquez recovered well, and for much of the fight had good enough defense and careful, measured enough offense to keep Donaire from really using his natural physical gifts, and it was clear very early on that Donaire was a more well-rounded, far faster fighter than Vazquez.

Holy shit. If there is blood on his wraps, he must have had them loaded.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic
It could also be that he broke a bone and it pierced the flesh.
You must be new here.
Pakinpower is our chief Top Rank propagandist and Margarito hand wrap denier. It’s a reference to that.
And also the only one who spoke directly to someone who was actually there, in the room, holding the dreaded ‘wraps’.

Wait, are you now denying that he had handwraps on at all? Pakin, you cad!

Of course I am
But I was also sick and tired of everyone acting like DA’s when they examined the photos of Margarito after he beat Cotto…..as if they proved jack
