like I said, if he mad the tear worse in the 4th round like they claim (a lie), the man would be physically incapable of throwing a right hand. Manny Pacquiao threw right hands all fight with power. zero wincing. zero pain. his corner didn't mention his shoulder once. "how's the shoulder?" "Better?". not once. after the fight, he threw his hands in the air. with this post fight interview with kellerman, he made no mention of a torn shoulder.
Not necessarily, it might not swell up right away, it might not become sore until after the fight. He might have felt it tearing in the 3rd or 4th round to which after that he was worried that if he threw it too hard or at the wrong angle it could have become really career-threatening. Which is why he still threw it but only at the simpliest of angles. Make sense? In fact he might have injured it precisely when he went ba lls to the wall in the 3rd or 4th when he actually tried to land hard right hands at odd angles which would cause it to tear more. Well obviously throwing your hands up in the air is different than using the shoulder muscle to throw a punch with power.
I've torn my rotator cuff. Depends on the severity. I had full ROM, I was walking around with it for a fair while, even training still, I'd take rests and it'd heal up, but eventually the pain slowly grew and I stopped recovering so I went to the DR and had it assessed. As it grew worse I lost a lot of strength in my arm and it became pretty painful to move. Dunno what Pac's case is. But a rotator cuff tear isn't cut and dry one case fits all, it can definitely heal up, and it can definitely be at different severities.
i dont see the point in him continuing , i doubt the injury is really that bad but a lot of fighters like to make some excuse when they lose a fight they really wanted to win . a rematch seems very unlikely , people are never going to pay those prices for tickets and PPVs again , the fight was not close or exciting enough . he is obviously going to be out of the ring now for quite some time , he nor floyd are going to hit those numbers again so why carry on , his best days are well behind him , retirement is imminent i think .
This was a hard decision. Let's say that he knew he may need surgery an that he was going to be out for 1 year. Was he going to postpone fight for 1 year, knowing the chances of it happing are 0? and forego the big payday?
he could not pull out of the fight.. He spent about 50million weeks before the fight. this guy is broke bound. Sorry to say but it will happen and I am a huge pacquiao fan... too many ****ing leeches hanging around him..... 900 tickets?? are you ****ing stupid?
hmmm , im not so sure about that , yes he fights again in september as we all know but i highly doubt he stops at 49-0 , at some point whether it be one year , 18 months , 2 years he will be back for the "big 50" in another multi million dollar fight . i would bet a large chunk of money he goes beyond 49 fights .
+ this. This is ridiculos I don't get how people belive the bull****. There's no way he was injured this weekend. I mean why would he lie for a 100 million dollar paycheck? Nobody wants that right?
