Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Sparring Partner Says Injury is Legit

[Goldie]

Things happen in boxing people are just quick to jump the gun with the "hurr durr you making excuses doe" line.

After the collosal buildup and huge anticipation it sounds like a fked up excuse but things happen.

Millions of people saw the fight yet no one nioticed Pacquiao was having problems with his right arm to the point where he couldn't use it as he claims. He didn't even mention the shoulder himself until the post fight press conference(after being coached). Why didn't he mention the shoulder in the ring immediately after the fight when he was delusionally telling the world that he thought he won? Pacquiao is a piece of ****. That humble God-fearing stuff is all an act. He's a sore loser and a poor sport.

True, I think being faced with a loss in such an important match was too much for his ego. Or maybe he actually thought he won.. idk. I was a bit disappointed with that interview.

> He didn't even mention the shoulder himself until the post fight press conference(after being coached).
Circumstantial evidence to the rescue!

Oh crap! They gonna try rip off the fans again.

The injury happened in round 4 during the combination.

Nobody is discrediting the fact the Pacquaio performed badly. His corner should've urged him more, he shouldn't of spent the first 2 rounds feeling Mayweather out, and someone should've told him he was losing the fight at round 10 and to throw caution to the wind.

However, what I'm saying is don't be so silly to assume Pacquaio's injury isn't legit. There was multiple reports and leaks of an injury in Pacquaios camp posted over twitter, his sparring partner also gave further details and confirmation. Finally, Pacquaio and his team made the the governing body aware of the injury weeks before the fight. Why would they do that if it wasn't legit? Don't be ****** now; most of the signs point to a legitimate, serious injury. How much did it affect him exactly during the fight? We don't know.

Actually, several pac supporters do NOT think he performed badly, instead, they think he won SMDH. I would urge you not to be SILLY and assume pac 1)Had an injury and/or 2) The injury played as large a role as they are now making it out to be in the wake of a loss.

I think you are being ****** by taking one side of a NON STORY and running with it, how about you sit back, be quiet and let the facts come out before you wholeheartedly defend pac? Your bantor/rhetoric is pointless regardles sof the excuses being made, the result WILL NOT change - he lost.

MOST pac-man fans do NOT think he won. There are some people that think he won but they are a clear minority as this was a clear win for Mayweather. Even the fans watching in Manila knew a UD against Pac was coming. He simply landed too few punches, was too ineffectual etc etc to possibly be considered the winner.

Yes, he lost that fight and I don't disagree with that not one bit. I had the fight 8-4 mayweather and even a draw is impossible for me to imagine. He was underwhelming I agree. But that does not demonstrate that an injury did or did not have a role.

So yes hopefully there will be some concrete information about the nature of the injury available soon and some announcement from Pac's camp as to when they want to fight next etc.

My fear was that he might be tentative due to getting ktfo.. no urgency in 11th or 12th rounds. But yeah Mayweather deserves credit for not getting tagged more often than he did.

You know, even as a pac-tard, I can't help but look at that photo of Manny and think to myself that things are being exaggerated a bit but what would I know just seeing this now.

He was tentative in all the JMM fights before getting knocked out. So stop the excuse.

Boxingscene posted a list of the fights Pacquiao threw the fewest punches in and all the JMM fights were at the top. Styles make fights. Most people saw this coming.

You aren't as willing to open up when you're getting countered.
