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

Hate to say it, but its a fact that long term steroid use is associated with ligament and joint damage. Not saying Vitaly is juicing or even has been any time in recent history, but this is just another reason to speculate.

People on this site don't need any reasons to speculate. They come by it "naturallyl"? Unreasoning....so to speak

Vitali should seriously contemplate retirement but he'll prob try to squeeze at least 1 more fight out before he hangs up his gloves

Why, is this not a fact I have stated? I could give you several links about it, so yes, it is reasonable to speculate.

Vitali making excuses for winning a fight?

I love it

This..... People make me fuvking laugh! A 40 year old guy outclasses a young guy in his prime wins the fight doesnt complain about the injury and still gets flamed SMH

I don't see what the big deal is here. Vitali throws a **** load of jabs every fight he is in. He doesn't throw many jabs this fight, doesn't make any excuses about it. Report comes in that his left shoulder was injured. Who cares? He won the fight.

what is the argument here? that chisora did good against vitali? he didn't do THAT good, he just didn't get completely outclassed like most opponents have been. vitali is 40, injury or not, he still decisively beat a young guy in his prime. what would be the point in lying about an injury?

an argument that literally makes no difference to anyone either way.

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.

Because he underperformed when set against pre-fight expectations.

Either way, just like Haye's toe releasing this news does him no favours.

Yep, but there is a history to base the speculation on.

Fair points and shows how highly regarded Vitali actually is that he can clearly win fights and its called a bad performance when he doesn't ko or win every second of every round.

It is kind of hilarious isn't it? While reading this crap I have been asking myself, "Did I miss something and did Vitali actually lose?" Then I shook my head and realized that he of course of course he won and by a rather large margin. And now the haters are out in force trying to find something to just hate about.
