  • I gotta say. I really thought that there were some findings that were going to affect the fight(s). I feel this was a bit misleading.

    • It is a bit misleading but normal for medical groups to ask to carry out voluntary tests. It happens a lot in ultra events and triathlons before and after the events. For example my cholestral level flatlined and my feet grew 2 sizes after a 54 mile run. Not sure what is tested with the fighters though.

      • Adz, I’m sure a full panel. But all this articles wanted to convey is their tale of the tape while the title made it look like the medical exam had other than normal results. I’m just a little “other” hurt that they got me to click, I’ll get over it.

  • General health examinations are common in this case. In the photos, the physician (examiner) is auscultating breath sounds for possible wheezes, rhonchi, rales, or stridor. These particular breathing sounds could indicate asthma (type of COPD), acute infection, or even early heart disease. Yes, fluid in the lungs can be a sign of left-sided heart failure which could be congenital or brought on by a form of abuse. The oral exam in the photo would be important to rule out cracked/loose teeth, swollen tongue (ie., allergy), or any prominent changes in the tonsil / adenoid area that may affect breathing in a match. How do I know all this? My bills are paid by working in the healthcare field. Hope you enjoyed your medical minute update!

  • the only way inoue is -900 is because this fight is in Japan and donaire is 36 years old but vegas never puts talent infront of the scorecards!!
