Comments Thread For: Gamboa: If No Surgery, I Want To Resume Training in 1 Month

[SUBZER0ED]

Sounds like the claim that he ruptured his Achilles tendon was bullshit.

Saying that Gamboa's claim of having a ruptured Achilles tendon is BS is a bit harsh. The guy obviously suffered some kind of injury in the area of his Achilles tendon, but since he's not a doctor, he could only guess. To me, given his age and his injury, it was a testament to his intestinal fortitude that he lasted until the twelfth round. The fact that Davis, a top, young fighter took so long to stop Gamboa is testament to a kink in his armor.

If no surgery then he doesnt have a torn Achillies. I dunno what he did but it sounds more like a serious sprain than a complete tear.

exactly what I came in here to say. Hopefully people will stop believing all of the bs they read and hear. a torn achilles REQUIRES surgery. It's not an option. Gambo isn't Wolverine to let a ruptured achilles heal on its own.

This is the Pacquiao torn rotator-cuff situation all over again. Gamboa must got that saltwater and Jesus hook-up too

Seriously though I knew he was exaggerating from day one. You don't ****ing box nine rounds with that injury.

I was thinking the same thing. Why the hell would there not be a surgery if he tore his achilles? Doesn't seem like the type of thing that you can just rest for a month and then be all good with.

Gamboa is way past his expiration date.

Semantics.

Saying he had a ruptured achilles is not inaccurate, he never specified a complete rupture and many refer to a partial tear as a rupture.

I think whatever word you want to use is irrelevant in this case. He was injured and it affected his ability to move and plant to throw.

A rupture doesnt just heal itself. A significant tear doesnt heal in a month, tendons have terrible blood supply which is why they are white. Hes lied about his injury.

I saw the foot. It looks bad. It’s exactly the way he described it. There’s a hole in it.

Yep. Yet everyone insist he lied about the injury. He may have misdiagnosed since umm... He's not a doctor but his ankle/foot was clearly hurt.

If the Achilles is torn, just slightly, the Achilles would have to be torn completely via surgery in order to repair it. Such a repair would keep Gamboa out of action for at least a year. For Gamboa to suggest the possibility of returning to training camp in a month, would indicate to me that no rupture occured......In other words, Gamboa could be exaggerating his injury ��
