Comments Thread For: Zolani Tete Suffers Injury, Donaire Fight Status To Be Determined

An injury suffered by his last opponent during their fight helped advance Nonito Donaire to the World Boxing Super Series semifinals. A pre-fight injury suffered by his next scheduled opponent could give him either a relatively clear path to the finals or yet another delay in a tournament littered with issues.

The WBSS has been snake bit this time around. After having been so great last time.

Why!!!?? This news sucks.

How do you injure your shoulder with less then a week till the fight? I thought boxers tapered off of training for the final week.

Take a note from the UFC and have a backup plan ready to go. Pay someone to be on weight and ready to fight. I was looking forward to the Young-Potapov rematch. I'm also tired of finding out about changes to cards (Lozano replacing Potapov) via article as opposed to boxrec. Do the fans a favor and keep your cards updated promoters!

This sucks, but in this instance I'd rather see a sub than a delay. Would be great if we could see Tete vs Burnett around the time the WBSS final is going on, then the winners could meet

SOURCES: Nonito Donaire will fight Stephon Young in the new @WBSuperSeries semifinal Saturday with Zolani Tete sidelined by a shoulder injury. The winner will move on to the finals to face the victor between Naoya Inoue-Emanuel Rodriguez set for May 18.

Even if he fights his way to the final, he'll get absolutely frickin wrecked by Inoue. Maybe a Donaire of 10 years ago would give him a good fight but he's oap Nonito now.

Isn't Ryan Burnett on waiting as a reserve. And he could rematch Donaire and reclaim the title. That would be perfect.
