Do you believe Pacquiao had a injured right shoulder?

[ThePrince]

Never mentioned it in the corner or post fight interview. Had his best round the round after he supposedly "injured" his shoulder, throwing right hooks with power and showed no signs of pain.




It's a bull**** excuse.

Actually, that gif backs up what he said in the post fight conference. He claimed the reason he pulled back while Floyd was on the ropes was because of the injury. You see it clearly there. He's throwing and then inexplicably stops and pulls back despite Floyd just laying there not moving or throwing back. He had no reason to stop other than fatigue, but he says it was the shoulder.

Would love to see the MRI/X-Ray.

Manny and Arum are liars and cheats , they robbed their own fans .


By Edward Chaykovsky

Francisco Aguilar, chairman of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, disputed some of the statements made at Saturday's post-fight press conference by Top Rank CEO Bob Arum.

Arum claimed the NSAC were fully aware of Manny Pacquiao's right shoulder injury coming into Saturday's main event fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

Mayweather won a twelve round unanimous decision and Pacquiao claimed afterwards that his performance was affected due to the injury shoulder.

Arum said Pacquiao injured his shoulder 2 and half weeks ago and was taking anti-inflammatory shots [lidocaine, bupivacaine and celestone], which he says were approved by the United States Anti-Doping Agency [USADA], who were handling the random drug testing protocol.

Pacquiao's team was upset that his request to get an inflammatory shot, 90 minutes prior to the fight, was denied.

Aguilar says the request was denied because nobody had ever advised them of the injury until the night of the fight. They also denied a request by Pacquiao's team to have a personal physician in the corner.

''I made the decision not to allow [the shot] because of the timing of the request and the fact that the fight was going to occur in the next 90 minutes. We were not aware of his injury until tonight at 6:30,'' said Aguilar. ''The medications he was taking were disclosed on his medical questionnaire, but not the actual injury. ... This isn't our first fight. This is our business. There is a process, and when you try to screw with the process, it's not going to work for you.''

He backs up because he's only hitting arms and can't break the defence and knows the longer he's there the more chance he's going to get something coming back. He was afraid of the Mayweather right hands the entire fight.

The commission confirmed Manny complained of an injured should before the fight.

Why would that make him back up and stop punching? His low connect % didn't deter him against Clottey. He had Floyd where he wanted him, Money was in full turtle shell mode there, not looking to counter or roll out. Obviously something else was going on.

But like I said, I want to see the medical documents.

[IboxSouthpaw]

All lies .. He is 1/10 the fighter Floyd is.. Next!!!!

[Sugar Adam Ali]

I don't buy it.. Manny just got schooled..

No excuses, but I have a feeling this shoulder injury excuse will be used by fanboys for the next 10 years

[Robbie Barrett]

The commission confirmed Manny complained of an injured should before the fight.

No he told them he injured it weeks ago and said he reinjured it in the 3rd round. I don't believe he reinjured it at all.
