Chagaev, Sturm set to defend! Chagaev is out,because of injury !!!

[JohnnyKickAss]

Wacko's a huge fan of Sturm...I have no shame in broadcasting that lil' tid bit...but I am a bit disappointed in the fact that he has'nt stepped it up lately. I know that he's had alot of issues & what not...but it's time.

First & foremost...squash the Euro rivalry with Abraham.

The thing is...I know both fighters & what they are capable of. Sturm has so much untapped potential it's unreal. The thing is...it's his own fault...not his trainner's or anything like that. Sturm's got that bias over EVER coming to America due to the Oscar robbery & the fact that it was him that should have faced Hopkins.

It's a crying shame...but you can't cry over spilt gotdam milk.

In the end...I have to say that Sturm seems to be on a down hill slide on the mental side of things. I would'nt be shocked if Griffin pulled it out on him. I was happy as a pig in shit with the fact that he gutted Castillejo in their rematch...let's hope it happens in duplicate this go 'round.

Nahhh...Sturm just had condition problems against Griffin...I mean he fought 3 times in half a year(all 12 rnd fights)..that was too much,he even said so himself...And still I had Sturm winning by one rnd...Anyway...it won't happen again...this time Sturm by UD or even (t)ko...

And after that he should either figth Sylvester or again travel to the US to fight someone there...my dream opponent for Sturm would be Winky...

WBA champion tears Achilles tendon in left foot during last sparring; WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm will now headline July 5 card

The much anticipated rematch between WBA heavyweight champion Ruslan Chagaev and Nikolai Valuev unfortunately cannot take place on July 5.
This afternoon, in his next-to-last round of sparring, Chagaev suffered a serious injury.
"He tried to step back with his left foot and I heard a "bang," said trainer Michael Timm. "At that moment, I already feared the worst."
Chagaev was immediately transported to the St. George General Hospital in Hamburg, where an MRI revealed a complete tear of the Achilles tendon. An operation is unavoidable. According to the treating doctors, Dr. Ehnert and Dr. Eggers, this will take place on Monday.
"Even though this is a bad injury, there is a positive note," said Dr. Michael Ehnert. Because the tendon has not torn directly above the heel bone, but almost concentric, a faster healing process is possible."
With this diagnosis, all involved parties are sure that Chagaev can return to the ring by the end of this year.
The champion was stunned and near tears. "It is the worst disappointment of my sporting career," said Chagaev. "But, I'll come back!"
It is the second time the Chagaev-Valuev rematch was postponed. They were originally scheduled to fight on May 31st, but the bout was pushed back to July 5th after Chagaev came down with an illness and was forced to break off sparring.
The July 5th "Universum Champions Night" event in Halle/Westfalen, originally billed as "Night of Rematches" has now become "Night of the Rematch" headlined by Part II of world champion Felix Sturm (29-2-1, 13 KOs) against Randy Griffin (24-1-3, 12 KOs) for the WBA middleweight title.
