Comments Thread For: Vitali Gets Medical Review, Left Shoulder Injury Confirmed

[The Surgeon]

I know this doesnt have much to do with the article, but does anyone know how much vitalis purse for the chisora fight was?

Im more interested in what Del made given that he turned down that £70000 boot soul offer, looks like losing £50000 over the slap and will no doubt be heavily fined for the ruckus at the presser....

I don't think boxers do themselves any favours with injury stories post-fight which may be construed as somewhat convenient.

Vitali with another lame injury excuse? Typical.

I like the Klitschkos but I dont believe the story of the shoulder injury. I saw Vitali in his corner talking to his trainer and he never ever said a word about pain or an injury.
if he really was injured , he would have said it to his trainer between the rounds.

If Vitali had lost the fight, claiming an injury might be an excuse. That would make much more sense. What does he have to gain by claiming injury as the winner? That he would've dominated his opponent even more? I don't buy it.

The man's 40-years-old, and many have noticed that he stopped using his left early in the fight. It all fits. Basically, Chisora was beaten by a one-armed Vitali Klitschko.

Vitali making excuses for winning a fight?

I love it

I know. I'm not a fan of the Klitschkos, but c'mon....

bull****. david hayes broken toe was more serious then a SLIGHT torn ligament. torn ligaments almost always require surgery but vitalis docter said there is none needed. a real torn ligament requires surgery.


vitals so called injury = the equivalent of a sprained ankle

really not even worth mentioning...........

[Joeyzagz]

That's just where you're mistaken. He didn't make one single excuse. He said nothing about his injury the post fight interviews and gave Chisora credit for fighting a good, competitive fight. Only now as the medical reports of his injury are coming up the rumors get confirmed but still Vitali hasn't lost a single word about it. You gotta give him credit for that.

Boxers suffer injuries worse than that all the time, and we never hear about it. Vitali's people specifically put out this press release to excuse his performance against a 15-2 novice.

Ali was practically fcking braindead for the last part of his career and he wasnt being excused the way vitali is for a fully functional NON-Broken shoulder.

[The Truth 21]

I find it hilarious at how ignorant most of you are. Vitali won without making excuses and with an injury. Those of you acting like you are doctors and saying it's nothing more than a sprain are complete fools. You don't know how the injury effected VK, you were not in his corner, you are not him, so you do not know! Effing trolls! Just because you sprained your shoulder whacking off doesn't make you an expert on the matter (well, except for whacking). Vitali fought through the injury which was obviously painful enough to deter him from throwing the left jab. He won the fight by a wide margin and was never in trouble. So, continue whacking off, just be sure to use your other arm if you injure yourself again. Effing pansy.....

These Heavyweights seem to have ready made excuses for looking like **** against Chisora.

First Helenuis, now Vitali.

You're really one of a kind. Vitali suffering an injury at 40 does not count but Ali being "practically fcking braindead" at 35 years when he fought Evangelista does somewhat totally count. Not to mention you accused Vitali of making excuses when he hasn't made an excuse. You're certainly not one of the smartest haters 'round here, and that's gotta mean something.

if there is no surgery needed that means he has the SLIGHTEST of tears.

almost the equivalent of a sprang ankle LOL

The equivalent of a sprain ankle in soccer, so actually getting a sprain ankle in a sport that involves a lot of running like soccer is an injury that keeps you out of the game.

A shoulder injury like this diminishes your performance a lot, even if it's not a serious injury.

IDK how beating Chisora 8-4 or 9-3 is looking like shit.
