Definitely legit. That surgeon isn’t going to be making up stories, he’s highly rated in his field and has an excellent reputation.
Diamanté is indeed a walking miracle.

One of the images Diamanate uploaded was swiped from Google.

Re: Diamante's replacement
That database probably does accurately report the bulk of accidents but it’s likely to be incomplete as it’d require a lot of manual input and reliance on officers following the ‘rules’.Controversial wrote: ↑14 Apr 2022, 06:31So this tweet was all a load of nonsense then. Apparently EVERY accident is recorded and this guy said there was no record of anything that matched what Diamante said on that date or location. Just goes to show how misleading things can be.
As I said before I can understand why people would doubt what Diamanté said based on his previous comments. Before then I’d have been more inclined to believe Diamanté over a random guy who’s playing amateur detective on Twitter and going after people (Thomas Hauser being one) who defended Diamante. I noticed how he hasn’t come out and apologised yet.
There wasn’t anything Diamante said that wasn’t possible re: recovery times based on several medical reports out there on spinal surgery recovery. It just needed a lot of luck and hard work.

Re: Diamante's replacement
If it's the x-ray of his spine with a red circle drawn on it no it wasn't swiped from Google. Someone posted it and said he had got it from Google but that image doesn't appear anywhere so more than likely a fake post made to make Diamante look like he's still lying. This about sums the internet up, no one believes anything anymore and shows some people will go out their way to create fake posts. Why would he post actual photos and videos of himself and then pinch one from Google, that makes no sense.maverick23 wrote: ↑14 Apr 2022, 06:42Which one?
Were the videos with the specialists faked as well?
Re: Diamante's replacement
I do stand corrected. He was obviously severely injured but his claims did seem far-fetched to the medically clueless (like most of us).
I need to see a picture of him arm remaining to his body via one strand of triceps matter otherwise he remains a pudendum and/or liar.

Yeah - on the surface it does sound far fetched. Multiple fractures to the spine and yet back to work less than 3 months later. If I hadn’t worked with someone who came back to work a few weeks after breaking their neck then I’d have thought the same initially.

Medical science is capable of miracles compared to a decade ago. If all those photos are real, it’s been some job they have done. I bet if he didn’t have dough he’d be left to rot tho.
Fair play hes back on his feet and puffing away like Cheech and Chong.

Re: Diamante's replacement
I’d be surprised if he’s that minted to have paid for it all. Who knows though. I’d imagine he gets some sort of insurance through his deal with Matchroom as he does a bit more for them than just one show a month.

Re: Diamante's replacement
Diamante had an operation but was nothing to do with a motor cycle crash. Look at all the photos on his twitter. Two perfect surgical incisions on arm one knee. Not a sing,e bruise or graze anywhere else on his body or even a dreadlock harmed. Rather unlikely after skidding half a mile after a motorbike crash. Diamante is tall. Many have back operations. He had one plus some knee surgery and invented a far more dramatic and exciting story. Like the other motorbike crash where his arm fell off.
His whole life story is a lie. Look at his BS online with a search.

Re: Diamante's replacement
So you have multiple spinal fractures from being tall? Did he get the broken ribs from being tall too? I don’t think he had surgery on his knee - just ripped a load of the skin/tissue off which the video shows.JamesPhilips wrote: ↑14 Apr 2022, 18:48 Diamante had an operation but was nothing to do with a motor cycle crash.

One of the doctors talks about him being on call when David arrived at the trauma bay at the hospital following a motorcycle accident. Is he in on the act too?

He's about 6'2 or 6'3 its not like he's a giant, plus he's very slim so not carrying huge weight around.

Re: Diamante's replacement
No proof of any spinal fracture - and if there were they were part of the surgery. In the USA they dish out surgery like sweets or at least advise you to have surgery when often not necessary. It makes the doctors much cash. Diamante had surgery on his back, inc the spine and bones, probably to straighten his spine so it’s natural to have the screws in there. My cousin lives in USA and he had a similar procedure. Which made no real difference just more pain and now he’s partially addicted to Vicodin and OxyContin. The US alleged health system is a grotesque profit making exercisemaverick23 wrote: ↑15 Apr 2022, 01:51So you have multiple spinal fractures from being tall?

Re: Diamante's replacement
There’s a video on Diamante’s from the doctor who operated on him talking about ‘multiple fractures to his spine’. Is that not enough proof for you?JamesPhilips wrote: ↑15 Apr 2022, 08:55No proof of any spinal fracture - and if there were they were part of the surgery.

Because when this thread outed him as a bit of a fantasist for previous stories and potentially exaggerating his little fall recently, all of a sudden he started to tweet “proof” of his outlandish claims.maverick23 wrote: ↑15 Apr 2022, 08:25What makes you think he reads the forum?CaptainSpacerod wrote: ↑15 Apr 2022, 07:09 Seeing as we know that Dave reads this forum the question has to be asked …….. which one of those posters defending this total charlatan is actually Dave himself ?
