Manny Pacquiao threw fewer punches than Floyd Mayweather, 435-429, which few observers could have predicted.
It turns out he had a right shoulder injury suffered three to four weeks before the fight. He had taken anti-inflammatory shots that were approved by the United States Anti-Doping Agency during camp. He requested to take a shot after arriving in his locker room shortly after 6 p.m. PT, but was denied by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
A source said he might need surgery that could keep him out for up to nine months. But because he checked on a medical form that he had no injuries, the commission denied him the shot.
