Alright, alright, let’s talk about this Devin Haney fella and his jaw, you know, the one everybody’s yappin’ about. I ain’t no fancy doctor or nothin’, but I can tell ya, gettin’ your jaw whacked ain’t no picnic.
So, this young boxer, Devin Haney, he got himself into a real tussle. Heard tell he was knocked down three times! Three times! That’s gotta hurt, even for a tough guy like him. And then, wham! Pictures started flyin’ around the internet, showin’ his face all puffed up like a toad. Folks started whisperin’, sayin’ maybe his jaw was busted.
- Now, I’ve seen my share of injuries. My old man, he used to work in the fields, and one time, a mule kicked him right in the face.
- Broke his jaw clean in two. Took him months to get back on his feet. He couldn’t eat nothin’ but mush for weeks, bless his heart.
This Haney boy, though, he’s a fighter. They say he got knocked down in the seventh round, then again in the tenth, and then, Lord have mercy, again in the eleventh. That’s a lot of hittin’ for one face to take! Makes ya wonder how he even stayed standin’. They say a good punch can really mess you up, especially if it lands right on the jaw.
Heard some folks sayin’ it was Ryan Garcia who did the deed. Said he “broke” Haney’s jaw. Well, I don’t know about all that “broke” business, but it sure looked swollen somethin’ awful. Like he had a whole apple stuffed in his cheek.
Now, if it is broke, that ain’t somethin’ to sneeze at. Fixin’ a jaw ain’t like fixin’ a fence post, ya know. It takes time. Takes a whole lot of time. I heard tell it can take weeks, maybe even months, for a jaw to heal up proper. Especially if it’s a bad break. And if you’re older, well, it might take even longer. Like that old dog down the road, took him forever to get over his broken leg.
Think about it, your jaw, that’s how you eat, how you talk. You mess that up, you mess up a whole lotta things. Can’t hardly eat your grits or your cornbread if your jaw’s all out of whack. And talkin’? Forget about it! You’ll be mumblin’ and grumblin’ like a baby calf.
They say boxers and football players and them martial arts fellas, they get their jaws messed up somethin’ awful sometimes. All that punchin’ and kickin’ and whatnot, it’s bound to cause some damage. Heard tell it can even knock your jaw clean outta place. Dislocated, they call it. Sounds fancy, but it just means it ain’t where it’s supposed to be.
Anyways, I hope this Devin Haney boy heals up alright. Ain’t no fun havin’ a busted jaw. Makes it hard to eat, hard to talk, hard to do just about anythin’. He’s a young fella, though, so maybe he’ll bounce back quick. Just gotta give it time, and maybe lay off the fightin’ for a spell.
So, that’s the story as I see it. A young boxer, a swollen face, and a whole lotta talk about a broken jaw. Hope he gets better soon, poor thing. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my chickens.
