I would not have been surprised if Brock broke Randy's cheekbone, but this kind of surprised me. n terms of the whole fight, Brock started well, with some powerful shots. It hurt his morale when he took Randy down but was unable to do much in terms of GnP, but then Randy used that momentum change to storm back into the fight and storm through brock's cheekbone. Also, for the record, this wasn't really a flash break - Randy was very much winning this fight at this point. Maybe Brock's corner shoulda tossed some towels in or something before it got to that point. But he's a fighter - whatcha gonna do?
