Comments Thread For: Donaire Explains Legs Cramps in Mathebula Fight

[Panginoon]

It's not universal, it's only the Fillipino excuse.

Is it the "black" excuse to duck fights and get caught with PEDs?

I don't ever remember Lucas Matthysse complaining about leg cramps. I goggled Lucas Matthysse and leg cramps and it linked me to your post.

I remember Chavez Jr's leg cramps, Pacquiao's, and Donaire. So I guess it's a Top Rank excuse.

it was in the judah fight...just after the 7th round he complained about cramps in his legs to his corner.

At least they take the test Pacduckiao is afraid of needles. U Pacfarts are really really ******!!!!!!

Pacquiao takes tests too you ******. Peterson and Berto got caught with standard piss test.

[THE REED]

Big deal. He still whooped him and almost knocked him out. He was complaining about it to his corner. I doubt he's just totally making it up. Is it really that hard to believe that a boxer could get leg cramps in a fight?

Not at all

You're participating in an extreme athletic situation for almost an hour... I'd like to think it's pretty possible to get cramps here and there no matter what kind of shape you are in.

I used to run 5 miles regularly (not bragging) Once in awhile I'd go for a run, hit 2 miles and literally hit a cardio wall.

It happens.

Abner Mares,rigondeuax,anselmo moreno,hell even arce-these are all folks donaire should face, but he'll prolly fight mijares next. what a waste!

[ElMeroChingon]

STFU Donaire, you're just making yourself look like an idiot.

This is sad that most of us are armchair boxers here....this is an athletic event, a fight. Anything can happen and most specially for boxers who uses mobility and rely on it to fight.

Why is it an alibi if a player feels something? Are we all numb as boxing fans-only and forget that we're dealing with real human beings?

No matter how conditioned one athlete is, he/she can cramp up. Most specially in the light that Nonito revealed that he warmed up an hour before the fight.

So he dealt with it and won...
