Comments Thread For: Pacquiao Sparring Partner Says Injury is Legit

[megas30]

Conveniently leaving out the moment, just seconds later, that Pacquiao mysteriously backs away from a still covered up and stagnant Mayweather. How many times has Pac let go on a barrage when the guy isn't punching back? Comon now let's not cherry pick our way through this argument.

It's their strategy to attack and back out. Freddie said most fighters were waiting there too long to be countered.

Like anyone here is going to be able to see a tear on an MRI.

They can easily get someone else's MRI. The agenda on this one is real. I don't believe a word unless I am a MRI specialist doing the diagnostic test.

although we have been disrespected beyond measure for even supporting floyd and called names for no reason for 6 years it would have been much easier to just let this all go if pac along with his fanatics just admitted defeat and said the better man won, but this whole Good vs Evil thing plus these excuses, pac not being humble or god like in defeat, and not mentioning his shoulder after the fight but in the press conference makes it all even worse, fk these clowns!

And you're conveniently leaving out the fact that Pacquiao did this same thing(flashy combos with both hands) several times later in the fight. One particular time he did twice in a row with Mayweather shaking his head "no" letting him know that nothing was getting through. The arm injury is an excuse. Immediately after the fight he thought that he had won and said absolutely nothing about the injury.

Again, I have no idea why he was obligated to mention the injury to Max Kellerman and why it wasn't ok to mention it in the post fight presser instead. I just can't see why that few minutes means so much, and it could be the case that he thought he won AND had a shoulder injury.

I do not doubt he loss. 8-4 Mayweather in my mind. FMJ demonstrated that just being fast isn't enough to overcome his reflexes and fast counter-punching speed, and he deserves credit for this win.

No one is suggesting or would believe that he had an incapacitating injury going into the ring. He obviously had some physical ability to throw his right, I'm saying that it could be the case that this ability was meaningfully diminished through injury. Even if that's true, I'm not necessarily convinced he would have gone on to win. It's hard to say whether the extent of the injury had any meaningful impact on the fight. But, that doesn't mean that the injury isn't real or that we shouldn't wait to hear more about this.

Johnson sure has a way with words.

He backed out because he was injured though.

I don't care is his momma said he was injured. He lost the biggest fight in his career to a chicken, fraud, brittle hand, 38 year old that doesn't even like boxing anymore.

right that is a complete shame for pac man, and to make things worse floyd stood in front of him for the majority of the fight n they are saying he ran!!!

They are not talking about the scenario when Mayweather is completely turtled and stagnant. They are talking about when they are close enough to land a punch in general. The risk for getting counter punched when FMJ is coming off of a straight left that staggered him a bit and is standing in a stance where he is walled off completely and looks like he's even covering his face enough to possibly be obstructing vision is questionable at best.

I didn't say that Pacquiao was obligated to do anything. I'm saying that it looks fishy that he didn't mention the shoulder injury in the ring after the fight since he has since claimed that it was a big deal. Pointing out that he didn't mention the injury after the fight and actually thought that he won is a perfectly fair point. If he honestly feels like he won the fight then why even mention the arm? Why not just stick to making the case for why you thought you won? It's not adding up. You're going out of your way to dismiss the valid su****ions people have about all of this.
