He seems to always have an injury excuse when winning, I hate to see what he's going to be like when he losses
He's actually fought with more injuries that you'd ever realise.
He had his knee operated on when he first turned pro, after the English title i think against Alan Page.
He broke the knuckle against Henry Porras (extensor hood as it's technically know) but still got the stoppage.
His next fight was against Matthew Barney on ITV and he didn't want to lose this opportunity to get on the mainstream TV, so he fought with injections in his hand which wore off at the mid-point of the fight. Then the following week he underwent surgery on the knuckle.
Then he ruptured his bicep against Dale Westerman and that delayed his Magee fight (round 3) but stopped him
When he fought Magee he snapped his thumb at the base in round 2 and then stopped him.
His knee went the week after Tatevosyan, he had to have a donor ligament put into his anterior cruciate ligament that summer. He then fought Robin Reid after no running.
Rybacki he was ok apart from a cold he had going in, then against Jean Pascal he ruptured his ear drum against Luis Garcia in Ireland and then when he came back he did some sparring with Nathan McIntosh, Paul David and a few others and then afterwards his rib was aching and he got a scan who confirmed it had a hairline in it.
Now he is going to spar Pascal the fortnight before his Taylor - and you just know Pascal is going to try to take Carl's head off in revenge.
I just hope whatever injuries he gets, dont prevent him to be at his best on the night.
