Report: CFB receiver nearly loses eye in bar fight, recovering after surgery
Oklahoma WR Spencer Jones was involved in a bar fight over Valentine’s Day weekend.
In a video that surfaced of the incident, Jones was involved in a verbal altercation before the other person started punching him, eventually putting him in a chokehold.
Per OUDaily.com, Jones nearly lost his left eye in the incident, and recently had surgery to rebuild his left orbital socket:
“Spencer’s just a superb kid… He didn’t deserve this, ever.”#Sooners wide receiver/holder Spencer Jones underwent surgery and is recovering after a fight at a Campus Corner bar last weekend nearly cost him his left eye.https://t.co/f0u6zJe86f

“Dr. Brooks came out of that surgery saying he’s extraordinarily lucky at this point, that he’s lucky he didn’t lose the eye altogether,” Jones’ lawyer, Woody Glass, said. “And so he was able to do some things surgically to rebuild that orbital socket and thinks everything is eventually going to come back to normal, but it’s going to take a while for him to fully recover.”
Here’s a somewhat graphic video of the fight:

Hopefully he makes a full recovery soon.
What a bunch of losers. So sad that is came to that.
Honestly all of them look like PUNKS!!! Sorry but at my age. I’m betting I could EASILY kick every a$$ there!!! But still fighting is totally BS in these types of situations.
The guy jumped on the wrong man. He is not the one that pushed him. It was the other guy. Either way. They all look stupid and sound even stupider!!! I hope they don’t catch covid in a crowded bathroom. Wallowing around on the floor!!!
Think of all the pee and poo they were wallowing around in. What were they arguing over? The person talking sounds like a complete idiot!!! Sorry but they are ALL IDIOTS!!!!
PS. He nearly loses an eye and for what? To get beaten up by Harry Potter on camera!!!! And it’s not over. Likely someone will spend time in jail for this. LOL

Terrifying. All of them are just soooooooooooo scary!!!! Harry Potter wins the girl fight. LOL

The kid has cauliflower ear… I’d bet the farm he would mop the floor with you 2.
This is what’s wrong with today’s youth and the men that raise them. I always tell my boys just walk away from idiots with something to prove. Just because you’re the larger person doesn’t make you the bigger man. Hope the young man recovers from this.
Something we agree on.
Agree, like the respect I have for because you served your country.
I get what you’re saying, but what does “today’s youth” have to do with it? Fights and/or bar fights aren’t something new or limited to kids.
Just seems like Generation X, Millennials, or whatever you want to call them are so eager to prove their masculinity. Don’t oblige people with physical confrontation when you can just walk away. Yea I guess there will always be those that try to start something at any place that has alcohol but that doesn’t happen at the places me and my wife go. #PunksAreGonnaBePunks
It’s just kids trying to prove their manhood. Same thing happened when I was young.
Kids trying to prove their manhood is when we’d go outside and fight like real men. I don’t believe in cute little disputes over petty things like “What, We GotSome Beef Bro” lol. Come on, we aren’t raising our young men to the level of previous generations and its showing more now than ever. My boys say people just want to bait others they perceive are weaker than them. We used to protect the “little guy” now we pick him off first.
Bar fights have been going on since the day the first bar opened. This isn’t anything new.
See that one shot right over your head there lol. The kid is on a six figure scholarship and should’ve been focused on football.
I watched the video.
The wr and his friend thought they were hot sheet. Tried to bully around the wrong ones. Got what they asked for.
All this they didn’t show restraint talk is nonsense. It was a street fight. Eat or be eaten. What would you have them do? Challenge them to a cook off? A spelling bee perhaps?
Want to see the wussification of America at its finest… click on it and read the comments!
You’re screen name alone tells us you are very young. This comment looks like it came from a teenager. Internet tough guys are always comical. I spent twenty years in the Marines. I know tough. You’re not it.
Thank you for your service.
Stolen Valor much?
You’re a clown talking to a Marine like that.
Losing fans fast ffg
Being in the military does not give one a free pass to belittle another…
All you do is talk trash and belittle on this site. When you show obvious immaturity and talk about stolen valor and the wussification of America while pretending you are a tough guy, I will call you out. I don’t have to be a retired marine to do that. Nobody does. One day you may grow up and realize how goofy your comments are. Then again, maybe not.
Hey buddy look in the mirror.
You sure don’t act like a mature marine.
Have a nice day guy
You can read my posts and compare them to yours. Nothing close. I’m done with you.
Good
Be done
I never asked you to start
I wonder if OU actually watched the video. Spenser is bigger and was the aggressor. Looks like Spenser got exactly what he deserved.
The real arse whoopin started when this video cut off. Anyone have the rest of this on film?
