I wonder if it was acually nerve damage.
He didn't say in his book what part of his arm hit the brick.
If it had been actually broken his parents would have taken him to see a doctor.
The one thing it did was Joe Frazier did not ever have a jab.
It was a continuous obsevive Left Hook, up and down,up and down,down,down,up.

Re: Joe Frazier's accident
Here is what Joe Frazier had said in a 2003 interview
He said he hat hit his elbow on the brick.
"i'd compensate off the hook and the bent left arm,
on the basis, most guys who have to throw a lft hook,have to bend it first or right after a jab" said FRAZIER
"You have to step with the shot to make sure it hooks after the jab.
I didn't have to bend my arm ,so I'd just hook him"
