Pacquiao-Mayweather bout gaining ground

Anyone else here been through a torn rotator cuff and surgery? I have. Significant, they say. A jab or uppercut would be no problem. A cross would be okay if it connected. A miss would have hurt the shoulder bad because the cuff muscle is what stops the arm and pulls it back from a throwing motion. Hits to his shoulder would have hurt and had a bad effect on it, slowing him down. Swinging his arm up and out like to block would have hurt like hell.
I guess I can't blame him for not postponing though. Looks like that may have been his last big fight.
