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

[frozensolid_702]

Thanks for the heads up.


If Chagaev tore his Achilles, then he's likely done for good.

He is done for a good while at least if that is the case, shame was hoping he would do the double

Really...seem that the people around Chagaev and Chagaev himself are quite optimistic...

"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!"

I see the report but Chagaev could have lost both of his arms in a car accident and Dr. Michael Ehnert could say what he wants and put a positive spin on Chagaev's recovery. It doesn't mean it's gonna happen.

If Chagaev really did SEVER his Achillies then he's done, either way you look at it.

He could do the smart thing and retire, or he try and come back......................... and lose to every C level fighter (and better) that he fights enroute to a very early retirement.
