    Comments Thread For: Horn-Crawford Card Postponed Due to Crawford's Hand Injury

    http://www.espn.com/espn/now?nowId=1-22762911

    Terence Crawford's move up to welterweight to challenge Jeff Horn for his world title on April 14 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas in the main event of an ESPN Top Rank card was postponed on Wednesday because Crawford suffered an injured right hand in a recent sparring session, Top Rank promoter Bob Arum told ESPN. He said the injury is not serious and the fight will be reschedule either for May 19 or in early June, also in Las Vegas.

    sounds bogus to me. Once Manny pulled out the card made it foolish to keep this PPV card as is. So time to fake a injury and move the fight.

      This sucks. I believe this is fake as the Lipinets injury.

      Maybe this means its still a PPV and ESPN/Arum need to put a card together.

      Maybe Manny/Vargas added to the card or Manny/Matthysse.

          This is a fake injury. I'm disappointed with Top Rank. It's pathetic that it was taking them this long to announce this fight. Crawford will have been 10 months out the ring when he fights Horn. That sucks.

                  Yeah, TR must have cold feet making this a PPV after Pac puilled out.

                  With Magdeleno and Anjacas on the card, it would have been a good event, but just not PPV wothy.
