QUOTE (BrutalBodyShots @ Dec 8 2010, 07:50 PM)  The fight this weekend is off because Wlad tore an ab I guess. That's a new one; I'm not sure I've heard of that happening before and am not even sure how one would do that. Kind of a letdown... I know absolutely nothing about the guy he's fighting but always like to root for unknowns with undefeated records when they step in the ring with a guy with incredible physical advantages over them. I've seen Chisora fight. He reminds me in size and stature of JC Gomez. I'll say this, he would have gone down swinging. He will at least try, the whole time he's in there. Wlad is just too big though. Barring a lucky punch, Chisora would have ended up just like all the others of late. Chisora would be a dangerous opponent for David Haye. Those two would make an interesting fight. Definitely would have been better than Haye/Harrison. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I wouldn't be surprised if he and Haye worked something out for early next year and he pulled out of this fight just to not take any chances. Wishful thinking I know. |

@danrafaelespn On phone with Bernd Boente, Wladimir Klitschko's manager. The fight Saturday is off. Wladimir tore his abdominal muscle today working mitts. about 12 hours ago

This kind of injury, at his age, could signal his descent.

This fight garnered no interest - I tend to think it is a BS injury and they view the time for Haye as right.

QUOTE (JD @ Dec 9 2010, 04:14 PM) This fight garnered no interest - I tend to think it is a BS injury and they view the time for Haye as right. But did it garner no interest in Germany? I think we all know that the Klits no longer garner interest in America, but equally I dont think they give a fuck when you look at their gates. I'd be interested to see the ticket sales. Plus this fight was part of a Frank Warren PPV package on SKY over here. Now there are other big fights on this card which would require appropriate payment eg Khan v Maidana, but I reckon this card should sell fairly well so I reckon there was a fair bit of scratch on the table for this one. |
