Hope he walks again. It seems like the possibility is there.


If he can box again, I can't see him being the same fighter. I think he'll be very cautious and move slow, instead of brawling like he use to do.

Man, I really hope he is able to walk again. Even if he can never fight, I hope he walks again.

this is much better news, i thought he had a complete injury (chord).

hopefully healing takes place and he can have innervation to his lower body.

the fused vertebraes will prevent full range twisting motion but who cares

as long as he can walk and have a normal life..

There's absolutely no way he can box. Not only would he not be able to, but no state would ever grant him a license to fight.

He shouldn't box, it would be very irresponsible for him to box again, and he shouldn't get a license. But listen to his attitude, I am pretty sure if he walks again, he's gonna push his luck, get back in to the gym and if he feels 50-60% he'll probably attempt to box again.

But right now, what matters is that he can have a normal life again outside of the ring. If he can walk, boxing fans should be happy for him.

Word to that.

I wonder about how fusing his spine will limit his recovering abilities...?

[Optimistic]

Paul's a strong dude.

Hopefully he's able to walk again eventually.
