maverick1200 2,883 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It should never have gone ahead. No way can you go into the most expensive fight of all time with a torn rotator cuff. Watch the lawsuits followProbably, it is America. Surely there is no terms and conditions that the fighter must be perfectly healthy to fight when you purchase a ticket. Most fighters carry something into the fight but i'm not sure if they lie on the medical form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 I'm not convinced it would have made any difference if he didn't have the injury, that would only affect the power of his punches surely, he couldn't get near Mayweather to punch him anyway Cunt could have came in there like Edward Scissorhands and still have been given the run around.

JamieD 19,326 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 That was a magical moment when Manny let fly and you could hear the crowd going nuts, women screaming, then Floyd dropped his arms and just shook his head at him I don't think arm punches should be scoring shots but, having never boxed myself, I've often wondered just how much they hurt from a power puncher. I'd imagine it could wear you down over a fight. Maybe that was Manny's plan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that was Manny's plan Holding your hands up to guard becomes an effort, you don't realise that until you actually do it That's why you see guards drop in the later rounds sometimes, it was Thai Boxing I dabbled in though so when my arms were fucked I used my feet to keep them away as long as possible. An absolute cunt when you're doing 5 minute rounds.Running around like Mayweather without the technique Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys like Dan and Gavin are embarrassing tbh. Like to see him go for a Marquez or someone that'll raise his profile especially in the States. He's being mismanaged by Hearn!

maverick1200 2,883 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 He knows the boxing industry thoughNo doubt, but some of the stuff he calls is lunacy. I watch the US shows because I can't stand him. Watt just ruins the fight. Take the Brook Porter fight. He complained throughout the fight that Brook was losing and not doing enough. Whereas Al Bernstein and Malignaggi from Showtime where saying that Brook was boxing beautifully and nullifying Porter. It doesn't help that I call someone an idiot and I can't get the sentence grammatically correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
