Parkinson's disease likely for Hatton? - ABC News article.

A filipino doctor and obviously a Manny fan, contributing to Manny lore. I'm beginning to want Manny to get KO'd brutally as opposed to watching a good fight. Maybe his fans will come back down from the clouds (those who this applies to).

a BS article.

Only beginning to want to see him KO'ed? You are very late on the train. Hopefully, Cotto has a number we can all tune into.

Knocked out or not, these micro tearing happens and at some point, consequences start to point out.
For example, probably that most of Ali problems come from his sanguinary fights with Smoking Joe, he wasn't necessarily knocked out or down but the beating his brain took during these sole 3 fights is tremendous. The more you take hit to the head, the more you get a candidate for parkison and mid-long time problems. When you have a bull strategy and no defense like Hatton, Andrade or Gatti, you're an even more susceptible candidate to these things, the weight at which you fight surely can play a role too as it increases the power of the shots you're absorbing and then the damage your brain absorb.

Thanks a lot, micro tearing are to me the main reason why these things happen and you don't need to be knocked out to get some.

Doesnt Janet Reno suffer from Parkinsons syndrome?? I wonder how many brutal KO's shes suffered?? That "doc" is talking out of his rear end lol

The knockout that Ricky Hatton suffered in the heavy hands of Manny Pacquiao was no ordinary knockout.

Because in the eyes of a medical expert, the pride of Manchester who went down cold after taking a solid left hook to the jaw showed signs of seizure while he lay motionless on the canvas.

Dr. Rolando Jeremillo Jr., an ortho surgeon and medical director of the Ambica Biotechnologies here in the Philippines, is no boxing expert. But he surely knows his way around the brutal sport.

“I’ve seen a lot of knockouts, and some big ones, too. But what Ricky Hatton suffered was a different one. It was a scary knockout,” said Jeremillo, who saw the fight live on pay-per-view.

“There are knockouts where the boxers fall hard and wobble on the way up. And there are knockouts of this kind, where the boxers, in this case Hatton, lose consciousness for a brief time.”

Based on his observation, Hatton appeared to have lost his consciousness even before he hit the blue canvas of the MGM Grand that was packed to the rafters. His eyes rolled, breathed heavily and hardly moved for some time.

“To me, it looked like a seizure right there and then,” observed Jeremillo.

No wonder Hatton’s fiancée, Jennifer Dooley, was almost hysterical at ringside, being consoled by the girlfriend of the boxer’s brother, Matthew. His parents, Ray and Carol, were also at ringside.

A seizure, according to wikipedia, can last few seconds, and are often associated with a sudden and involuntary contraction of a group of muscles and loss of consciousness.

As Pacquiao and his fans celebrated, ring physicians attended to Hatton who appeared to be in a very dangerous state.

It took a few minutes before he managed to get up.

He was later taken to the Valley Hospital in Las Vegas, underwent brain scan and few other tests before being cleared.

The day after he was at the pool area of the MGM, cooling off.

Jeremillo can only hope that the worst is over for Hatton. He said punches like that may cause Parkinson’s disease, the same one which fighters like Muhammad Ali or even Freddie Roach suffers from.

“It may come 10 or 20 years from now. But even if Hatton retires tomorrow, he just became a candidate for Parkinson’s (a disease that causes movement disorders),” said Jeremillo.
