    Thats true. However, I don't think the WBC is going to do anything. There is just too much money involved in the Vitali vs Rahman fight. Its going to happen eventually. No one knows who Gomez is, so I don't know who would sign up to promote that fight.

      The WBC is losing mony and the whole promotion will lose money if there is no fight. It will be interesting to see what happens in the coming days.

        The world heavyweight championship fight featuring Vitali Klitschko vs. Hasim Rahman on November 12 is postponed and will be rescheduled, Bob Arum of Top Rank announced today. Klitschko, the WBC heavyweight champion, was injured while sparring in Los Angeles on Thursday. He wrenched his right knee and did not continue training. On Saturday, Klitschko was examined by famed orthopedic surgeon Dr. Tony Daly of Los Angeles. He diagnosed the injury as a sprain and suggested the use of a rigid brace on the right knee. However, while sparring in Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon, Klitschko reported the knee did not respond to either medical treatment or the use of the brace. Bob Arum, CEO of Top Rank and Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotions, announced that Klitschko vs. Rahman will be rescheduled. A new date, Arum said, will be announced next week

                But the thing is, Vitali fans know it was him who probably insisted that he get his knee checked. And it was him probably lobbying for medical clearance to get out of this. I mean this dude quit on his stool against Byrd. No heart at all.

                  When are they gonna do it though? November 26th? Not with Hopkins-Taylor 2 the next week. December 10th? They are already doing Winky-Soliman then. December 17th or 24th? Do they really want to do two PPVS within two or three weeks of each other?

                  Its a ****ed up situation.

                    Like I said, he doesn't need the money, and being injured is no fun and he would rather not risk his career and fight with an injury. The irony of this injury is that some people joked around that he was going to get injured and postpone the fight because he is scared of Rahman, and it ****ing happens. Unbelievable.
