WelshDevilRob Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 http://fightnews.com/Boxing/casal_injuries.jpg EXCLUSIVE [h=1]Nick Casal brutally attacked; fight cancelled[/h]http://fightnews.com/Boxing/casalinjury300.jpg Jr welterweight Nick Casal (22-4-1, 17 KOs) was brutally attacked last night in Buffalo, New York. Casal was out with his girlfriend when from he was brutally attacked from behind by a gang wielding golf clubs. The attackers were identified as her ex-boyfriend and his friends. Medical reports are that Casal has a possible broken arm, multiple lacerations, including one at least 12 inches long. Casal was in preparation for the biggest fight of his career on June 29th in his hometown of Niagara Falls against Ruslan Provodnikov (21-1, 14 KOs) for the WBO Inter-Continental title. The fight was to be the main event of a nationally televised card on ESPN2′s Friday Night Fights. Obviously Casal will now not be able to fight on this date. Boxing360 founder/promoter Mario Yagobi who promotes Casal released the following statement. “First of all I just want to thank God Nick Casal is alive and we ask everyone to pray for his health and a full recovery. We hope the boxing community will come together to help a fellow fighter in time of need. Donations can be made out to Boxing 360 in care of/Nick Casal and sent to 183 Bleecker St. New York, New York. 10012.” http://fightnews.com/Boxing/r7lywhw4.jpg Source: www.fightnews.com [/list] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_budweiser Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Re: Boxer brutally attacked - Shocking Images That is horrific, there must be more to it. No one attacks someone with golf clubs for no reason, surely??? Broken arm and those cuts probaly have ended his career most likely, as boxing360 are asking for donations which may be a sign he cannot fight again. Speedy recovery Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemurphy Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Re: Boxer brutally attacked - Shocking Images Those are extremely deep, but I'm not sure that if there was no internal damage to the skull, and he might actually be able to resume his career. It's a head injury, but appears to just be dealing with the scalp.....although it's hard to imagine he didn't have at least a severe concussion/head trauma with such brutal blows. I'm just happy he survived it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemurphy Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Re: Boxer brutally attacked - Shocking Images Without trying to sound like an ass, is this not from like, 18 months ago? Wow, I totally missed it the first time around, but your right, May 13, 2012. I thought it a bit strange that it mentions a fight with Provednikov, who's name is being bandied about as the opponent for several top fighters right now, but I figured I must have missed something...............little did I know that I REALLY missed something :tsk: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemurphy Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Re: Boxer brutally attacked - Shocking Images The same thoughts crossed my mind dave...this could be the end for him!! Mofo- With Scott's info about it being a year-and-a-half ago, it's a forgone conclusion that it's over for him. The last info I found was in Jan of this year where the defendant Michael Vickie had entered a plea to a charge of aggravated assault, claiming it was Casal that attacked him and he acted in self-defense. It mentioned that Casal was training for a comeback. Given that even this info is ten-months-old, it makes one wonder how slow the wheels of justice are going to operate or if I've missed something once again.

If a plastic surgeon does his job well. I have no doubt that Nick Casal will be wearing his hair long from now on, in which case it might be impossible to know that he was even attacked.
