Especially when you get a good look at the X-ray he today posted.

The Spike-televised fight, which took place at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center, was a career highlight for Straus, who had suffered two previous losses to “Pitbull.” It’s also pretty impressive considering how badly the 31-year-old broke his left hand, according to the X-rays.
