Maskaev-Peter postponed

[OumaFan]

I don't see another thread on this so

Just another postponed fight. I wasn't that excited about it but F****** hell how long has it been since there's been a meaningful fight? Even Friday Night Fights is off now. At least there's some great ones coming up

Its Maskaev that pulled out, "unspecified" injury. The link is fightnews

It's just a chain reaction. After so many people back out to do injury it becomes much easier to use it as an excuse.


"What?! It's the injury bug!" -- Maskaev.

[amat]

Maskaev went from being such a good story to being an absolute disgrace.

Peter is my favorite heavyweight fighter in years and between Vitali and Maskaev, he won't fight for 2 years. Maskaev is probably just waiting for Vitali to get better.

[Gandalf]

Peter is being kept waiting. This is unfair. Either Maskaev fights or he gets stripped.

Peter has waited a fucking year.

[OumaFan]

Its just prolonging the inevitable really. I guess you have to stick with the cliches and say anything can happen in boxing but Maskaev's chances aren't that good.

[Majesty]

Strip Maskaev of the title.

[OumaFan]

Well at least Jameel McCline is apparently fighting DeVarryl Williamson. That's one got FOTY written all over it.

That depends. On which McCline and which Williamson we see. If its the scared Williamson that was actually somewhat effective against Wladimer and the McCline that had a good first round and then froze up against the same fighter then this is gonna be a stinker .

But if its the Williamson that beat bigfoot and the McCline that fought Byrd then yeah this will be good.

But we haven't seen that Williamson or that McCline in quite some time so no

[OumaFan]

But if its the Williamson that beat bigfoot and the McCline that fought Byrd then yeah this will be good.

No doubt. Its one of those fights that you have that kind of nervous anticipation for, you just don't know what's going to happen, who's going to get the best of the exchanges, I love that about boxing.

[El Gamo]

Maskaev and the Klit are bastards. They have ruined a couple of years of a guy who had a pretty good chance at being one of the top HW of this generation. Their ducking,time wasting/delaying has gone beyond pathetic and these fwocking alphabet soup organisations better do something about it. Maskaev is a fwocking coward. One minute he wants to fight,the next he wants more money,then he's injured etc. I honestly hope Peter KTFO these guys.

[Sugar_Shaw]

Real shame about this, Makeav will get destroyed evntually

[OumaFan]

The update is that its supposedly injuries to his back and ankle

They want to postpone it for at least 90-100 days.

Peter's camp are trying to get the WBC to let him fight for the interim title on the night the fight was supposed to be.

[SweetPea]

You have to feel bad for Peter. The guy can't get a break.

Maskaev spent months trying to duck Peter, and now he pulls out with an injury.

FUCKING BULLSHIT

[No Contest]

Well hopefully showtime still shows this one, because there are some good undercards, I wouldnt mind seeing the Golota fight.
