I never doubted for one minute that the warrior that is Manny Pacquiao was using the shoulder injury he went on about during the after-fight period as a total excuse for his defeat.
He may have angled towards it being a factor but, on the night, he was out-boxed.
However, I doubt any of us actually realised how bad the injury was with it being declared today that Pacquiao could be out of the ring for as much as a year.
It appears that the shoulder injury requires surgery with the probably surgeon, Neal ElAttrache remarking Pacquiao had a significant tear.
I guess that definitely rules out a re-match with Floyd Mayweather Junior then!
Pacquiao Side-Lined for 12 Months!
