I watched this happen in the fight between Hall and Weidman this evening and I don’t understand how it was possible. Is one bone stronger than the other? Something to do with physics? Just bad luck?

I wasn’t there, but many things could contribute.
1. Bone density/strength varies from person to person.
2. Bones have strong areas and weak areas. The kicked leg may have been struck in a strong area.
3. Soft tissues over the bone can “cushion” the impact, reducing the force the kicked bone receives.
4. The kicker may have had a preexisting mass in the bone that made it softer in that area.
5. The kicker may have had a stress fracture starting to develop, and this is just the straw that broke the camel’s back.
