Yeah I think it was real but I don't know to what extent and it also wasn't the reason for him losing to Mayweather
You're an imbecile. You can still use your arm if you have a rotator cuff tear depending on the severity, but it's painful and doesn't feel right. At the end of the day, Pac's style is not a style made for longevity. Besides, Pac won that fight anyway. Mayweather was more beat up and looked more beat up. Pac also landed more punches and made the fight. Mayweather's own father called him a coward. The thing is, Pac is never going to be the Pac of old. You can't reverse time.
No injury is minor. Injuries tend to be cumulative. There are ways to mitigate it, perhaps, but most people don't utilize them and the jury is out about their actual efficacy.
He felt so uncomfortable that the very first hit he threw, he did it with his 'injured' arm, and the very last one he threw, he did it with his injured arm too. And in the meantime he flurried like crazy using boths arms equally. Guess who's the imbecile in here.
It's a fight. What does he get paid to do? Would you watch two guys run around the ring and avoid each other? Do you think a guy like Pac, with his personality, if he had a fighting style like Mayweather being from where he is, would become a star??? No, he would have to sell his soul like Mayweather in order to make money. You see, there is a market rate. Above that is the risk premium. Instead of taking risks like a warrior to generate revenue, Mayweather takes risks by speaking his mind in the hopes that there is no God or karma to pay him back his retribution. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You have to give something up to get something.
Of course the injury was real. Do you think he had surgery for the sake of it? But I do think it was a recurring injury and had already planned to have surgery after the Mayweather fight.
That's what I came here to say. I can't believe that he would have a completely unnecessary surgery just to save face for losing a fight? That's a bit much.
I believe he had a prior injury, maybe even one that he had for years. The injury possibly got worse during the game and affected his performance. I do not think it was anything debilitating, and I believe it was blown out of proportion.
IMHO, Pac looked OK in the pre-fight view of him warming up and his entrance to the ring. He also looked fine in the ring when he was throwing punches and I don't recall at any time in his corner of him mentioning his arm was hurt. It wasn't until post fight, after all the score cards were read and he found out that he loss the fight before we heard any mention of a damaged arm. I think he may have injuried his arm while writing out those payments to the IRS.
the fact he asked for a shot for his shoulder BEFORE THE FIGHT alone says a lot and the fact usada confirmed they gave him shots for his shoulder and other drugs in camp
Yes. Not believing falls along the lines of complete conspiracy and/or denial. That is how evident it is.
