Comments Thread For: Dillian Whyte Has Shoulder Surgery, Injured in Loss

[Eff Pandas]

Did Pacquiao's doctor do the surgery

He took a beating in the first, had a good comeback round in the second, and took a beating for much of the rest of the fight, though had a couple moments.

I certainly believe he was injured. Injuries happen a lot in boxing.

I don't think he would have won.

It was a good fight, and I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

But Joshua deserves full credit for his win (and I didn't find Whyte's comments inflammatory, on that note).

Whyte gave him a good fight, and is a very good prospect, but Joshua would beat him worse in the rematch, I reckon.

Unfortunately for Whyte, he'll never have the money to compete with Joshua. Skill takes you to a high level, but Joshua carries the sort of power and size that can only be attained through access to the most advanced training methods and sports science.

Quite subtle of you with that .

I think Whyte could afford some 'sports science', but maybe he's not really about that.

Heavyweight contender Dillian Whyte (16-1, 13KOs) has gone into surgery for a shoulder injury that he suffered during last Saturday's knockout loss to domestic rival Anthony Joshua.

According to Whyte, he suffered the injury during the second round of the fight, when he got Joshua in some trouble after clipping the Olympic gold medal winner on the chin.

....unless it's just b.u.l.l.s.h.i.t.

I'm sure Dillian could afford the cheaper forms of sports science if he desired, but he's certainly limited to a much smaller range of juices in his smoothies unfortunately.

I saw somewhere he went into the fight with the injury but didn't pull out 'cause of the fans...

Swim in the ocean and youll be back in no time

From what I'm gathering he had the shoulder injury before the Minto fight but I'm unaware if this is the first surgery or what.

Sports science only takes you so far though in boxing.

There are certainly advantages to be had.

But it really is skills which pay the bills (to quote the cliche) in the end.

Also, conditioning is a huge factor. There are sports science means for this to a degree, but a muscular guy like Joshua, is going to have inevitable stamina problems.

Skills are obviously important but a lot of skills and minimal 'sports science' gets beaten by slightly less skills and elite 'sports science'.

It's similar to the saying that 'a good big man beats a good little man'.

A good man with the aid of a wider range of fruit juices beats a good man with limited access to fruit juices.
