According to Bob Arum, the promoter of the lightweight champion Vasyl Lomachenko, the Ukrainian on May 12 in a duel against Jorge Linares torn the labrum of the right shoulder and on Wednesday in Los Angeles will undergo an arthroscopic surgery. Lomachenko himself claimed that he was injured in the second round, and his shoulder bothered him until the end of the fight.
"I could not punch with my right hand, throw out the right hook, and it was very inconvenient to continue the fight," Lomachenko said.
Lomachenko's injury was commented on by surgeon Neal ElAttrace, who examined the boxer: "It is quite obvious that recently he suffered a dislocation shoulder, followed, as a rule, by torn labrum. In his case, the gap was very serious. Usually the gap does not exceed the range of 2 to 6 hours, if you imagine the clock and look at it from above. In his case, the arrow would have made a full turn. It can be assumed that his right shoulder is now very unstable."
