Claims of Manny Pacquiao fabricating a hurt shoulder against Floyd Mayweather in their 2015 fight can be corroborated.
It was reported after the re-run of the bout that a medical professional had actually implicated Pacquiao of comprising the condition. Pietro Baio made the remarks to previous welterweight Phil Lo Greco.
“So, we return to the fight in between Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao and Pacquiao stating he had a shoulder injury,” stated Baio. “You understand, taking a look at that fight and being a chiropractic practitioner and physiologist, I arrange of call BS on that.”
CompuBox later on exposed that Pacquiao’s efficiency had actually been prevented in the last 5 rounds of the fight. He landed simply 26 power punches in that time frame, compared to 25 in rounds 4 and 6.
These statistics recommend that Pacquiao was undoubtedly feeling the impacts of an injury, even if he had actually gotten a cortisone shot prior to or after the fight.
It is possible that this injury minimal Pacquiao’s capability to complete against Mayweather, and would have been a various fight without it.
