In a post fight press conference. Pacquiao revealed he wasn't 100% fit for the match, that he had requested to have anti-inflammatory shot on his right shoulder moments before the fight but Nevada State Athletic Commission refused, on the basis that it is not allowed. I respect their decision, he said.
"I cannot use my right shoulder a lot," he said. "The fight was still good. But what we wanted to do we couldn't do because of my shoulder.
"In the third round I already felt the pain in my shoulder. When I threw a lot of combinations I had to back off because it hurt."Manny's promoter, 83-year-old, Bob Arum, during the post fight press conference expresses his displease, about Nevada's state ruling, refusing Manny the anti-inflammatory shot he demanded moments before the fight. He claims that they had filled medical report of Manny's bad injury with the commission days before the fight that they were well aware. A claim Nevada State Athletic Chairman Francisco Aguilar strongly denied.
