COLOGNE, Germany (AP) -- Wladimir Klitschko fought most of his title bout against Lamon Brewster with a broken left hand.
Assistant trainer Jamen Ali Bashir told The Associated Press Sunday that the heavyweight champion broke his middle finger during his technical knockout of Lamon Brewster Saturday night.

Klitschko iced his hand immediately after the match, and is now wearing a cast from his left hand up past his elbow, Bashir said before boarding an airplane at the Cologne airport.
"It will take eight weeks to heal," Bashir said.

I think there is no escaping the fact that Wlad is developing into one of the most dangerous heavyweights of all time. Certainly there has been nobody like him since Lennox Lewis and he's certainly the number 1 heavyweight out there by a country mile.
I hope he gets a chance to make some defining fights because imo he's on track to become one of the Top 20 of all time.
It's a shame his era is so weak as he really could prove himself to be as good as Lennox one day.
I like him, a rare white champion, whose always polite and respectful, is a great ambasador for the sport and whose an exciting fighter to watch.

That was more because of Brewster's unwilliness to go for it and force his way inside imo. Wlad's fights with Peter and Byrd were both exciting. He can't help it if he's simply able to dominate fighters with his jab.
He needs better opposition for sure but he's doing everything right.
Re: KLITSCHKO BROKE HIS LEFT HAND
I like wlad, shame really there wont is no sign of im unifying anytime soon, with The WBC tied up for the next 2 fights, as well as the winner of the unification fight will most likely have to make a mandatory as well most likely that being tied up for another 2 fights;/

Fire I've been reading your post and here's a big cc for ya :coolclick: and a :goodpost: peace out cuz
Re: KLITSCHKO BROKE HIS LEFT HAND
That's what happens when you are 6'6'' tall and can't or don't want to use other physical/technical resources, abuses with the left jab and then breaks hands, breaks his opponents defense and gets away from other sort of challenges, heal fast Wlad

I really like his style, but to be fair all he threw was his jab pretty much, but I love the jab.

It's a fact that the man with with the best jab will controll and win the fight 98%of the time

thats true, but after all thats over there will be a chance for a unification, as donk king will no longer have a HW champ and sultan is willing to fight wladimir, i think chagaev would fight him also, and peter would certainly fight him, but vitali will take the belt from him ;)
