Dislocated shoulders--Can I still join?

[CGM]

No, it's not that I was particularly active, I just had bad luck, accidental injuries that knock my shoulder right out of joint, And by this I don't mean a Hopkins injury, it popped out and stayed out till it got pulled back in. After a few times my Doctor told my the ligaments had become very loose, and that I should get them tightened up. Point being that once this was done I had a pretty good shoulder.

I didn't gather from Jerome's thread whether it was a congenital defect thing, or whether he just had bad luck. Once yu have the injury a couple times, you become vulnerable to additional injuries until you have it fixed. Once it gets fixed, then it can be a whole new ballgame.

I don't know all Jerome's circumstances. Such as how it happened. But I don't think that the mere fact that he has had a number shoulder dislocations is evidence in and of itself that his boxing career is over.

Maybe it is, but not from what I can determine here. The only advice I was giving was don't rush to judgement, consider all the angles. Get advice from a sports injury specialist. And then decide whtehr to hang them up.
