Comments Thread For: Rahman Injures Hand, Withdraws From Povetkin Fight

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

The World Boxing Association has confirmed that Hasim Rahman suffered a hand injury that forced him to withdraw from a scheduled fight with "regular" heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin. The mandatory fight was scheduled for July 14 in Hamburg, Germany. Because Rahman is the mandatory challenger, the WBA's championship committee will evaluate the situation and make a statement later in the day regarding the case. Povetkin is unbeaten in 24 battles, with 16 knockouts, while the interim-beltholder, Rahman, has 50 wins, with 41 knockouts, seven defeats and two draws.

Ah well, not a great loss

Awesome. Maybe Povetkin fights someone relevant to this decade now?

That might be too much to ask for though.

Quality i weigh about 200 pounds the now ill step in and be heavyweight champ no worres. Cant be hard given the state of them surely

[richardt]

Excellent news. Rahman was washed up long ago. Deterioration does not have a reverse gear. Stick a fork in Rahman....and the idiots at the WBA who ranked him#1 in the division. #1, are you ***ing kidding me?

[Larry the boss]

joke fight anyway

Am I the only one who had a feeling this was going to happen? It was just like that Kessler V Stiegliz fight, you knew it wasn't happening. No loss though, crap fight. Povetkin's no champion, he aint even a contender, the sooner the fat lump loses the better. This craic of pretending the Klitschkos dont exist is mind numbing.
