Miguel Cotto: Pacquiao's refusal raises questions!

It was not a painkiller it was an anti inflammatory

 

Wasn't it Novacain(sp?)?

 

It's really not that complicated:

Fighter A is abiding by the rules & is prepared to go ahead with the fight as per standard procedure.

Fighter B want's to add an unprecedented (not included in the rules, NOT as per standard procedure) stipulation or he won't fight.

Fan A thinks that fighter A should be able to proceed like he & fighter B (and every other fighter in history up to this point) and go ahead with the fight as per standard procedure and not have to change simply because his opponent wants him to.


"Fan" B thinks that because fighter A wants to proceed like he & fighter B (and every other fighter in history up to this point) and go ahead with the fight as per standard procedure & does not want to comply with an unprecedented (not included in the rules, NOT as per standard procedure) stipulation simply because his opponent wants him to, must be a cheat and musn't want the fight.

 

It was Novocain injections, like what that bum Pazienza used to get.

 

That's a painkiller.

 

Thats correct....and there was all sort of trouble about it afterwards....

 

I coulda sworn it was cortizone, which is a steroid.

 

I did a quick Google search and can't find anything credible stating what he was getting injected with. :dunno:

 

I'd swear I read that in either The Ring or KO Magazine back in the day.

 

He said so in the interview after the fight, whatever fight it was. I thought it was the Chavez fight but then I thought maybe it was a fight in Michigan.

 

You can bet Arum and company are working right now to find dirt on PBF. And considering Arum used to promote him, and considering who PBF is, my guess is it will not be difficult.

If there's information out there that will make this go away, it will be found and it will be exposed.
