Did Canelo really fracture his thumb?

Why would he lies?? Monroe not beating him Some people still don't get that Canelo/GGG is a year away

seein how industry never questioned Pac's injury, don't worry, the Mexican gulf coast has plenty of salt water healing Seeing how the industry didn't look into the illegal iv Floyd took I'm thinking not

Wasn't fighting GGG in December anyway so not sure why he would "Fake A Injury"

Why would I doubt him? He could easily just say screw it May 2017 he didn't have to return before that.

I think this "injury" came up to have an excuse in order to avoid fighting GGG in May and have more reason to push for a September fight. "We been out for a while and need a tune up. Plus we need to acclimate our body to the weight as well." All while plotting to let GGG age some more. They were never going to fight in May to begin with

Why the hell would he have to lie about that?

How the hell do you even fracture a thumb while punching/defending? The thumb is not tucked under in a glove, like it is in a bare fist. In gloves, it's awkwardly out to the side and vulnerable to damage if your opponent moves and you catch your thumb against his skull w/ full power. I can't believe people are even questioning this. It wouldn't have any influence on the Sept 2017 that has been talked about for the past few months anyway. There would be no point in faking an injury right now.

I doubt a healthy, uninjured Canelo would sit on the sidelines when he could make many millions fighting almost anybody. A fractured thumb is a common injury in a fight, especially for a hard puncher. Sure, Oscar wants GGG much older and he is stalling but he doesn't need a fake injury to put the GGG fight off. I think Canelo really fractured his thumb. They hardly ever show x rays of fighter's injuries to the public so fans can believe it or not.

they never were trying to fight him anytime sooner than september 17 thats what they been saying and thats what the offer is for, and he was gonna fight decemeber 10 if he didnt have a injury. He still had every intention to fight in may lol you think canelo gonna sit out an entire year and fight ggg first with no 160 feelout fight. He had plenty of chances to "feelout" 160 and didn't. It's all been plotted really carefully it seems.

Well I'd imagine breaking your thumb is possible even with a glove its highly unlikely but possible to happen perhaps he never landed cleanly and the smallest part of the glove clipped onto something hard and every shot Canelo throws is like power shot. I see what you're saying but I think that would be more likely to happen if headgears were involved. I just find it very strange.

He did but not during the fight. He thumbed his anus too hard while watching Delahoya try on new skirts and stockings. Sounds legit. :lol1: I think there's more of a chance of fracturing your thumb while thumbing your ass than when boxing.

that makes no sense, he gonna fight in may, they fight with ggg is for september. kinda like a kovalev vs ward type deal. How does that not make sense? They have more of an excuse now to fight in September and not May. Without an "injury" they could had been pressured into a May fight but now they have an excuse. Plus wasn't the Khan/Smith/Brook fights supposed to be the ones like the Kovale-Ward deal?

Please...OF COURSE he broke his thumb. Oscar would NEVER lie to us

Anything to duck GGG

The real factor no one seems to be talking about is A side Golovkin is fighting on the date they had planned for Alvarez. The gingerpssy was supposed to fight dec10 at MSG in newyork, Golovkins event will be taking place dec10 in brooklyn new york.
