These news stories of the Klitschko/Haye fight being close to a done deal all seem to be coming from one side, that of Haye/Booth/GBP. Would Wlad really be willing to commit to an April date when he just suffered a 3.7 cm muscle tear? For that matter, why aren't fans/journalists talking about the scans of Klitschko's injury released to the Ukraine media? [url]http://kp.ua/daily/101210/257585[/url]
It was a back injury, too. What is it? Anyway, hopefully this means Haye wants to fight now. Good reason to pull out of his fight with Chisora

Haters will say that it's faked. Of course if no evidence would have come out, they would have said "Where is the evidence"...you can't win with the haters.
Wlad's left hook and, more importantly, his jab, will likely never be the same after this injury and Haye knows it. Saturday night was the perfect time for Haye/GBP to "get serious" about making the fight, one Klitschko likely won't be able to make on time. Now the HBO/GBP alliance can replace Wlad's recent abscence from the network with Haye, making him their latest exclusive fighter. If Wlad is out for long, Vitali needs to step in and end Haye's career before his supposed 2011 retirement deadline in the Fall, even if it requires Vitali ditching his pride and taking a smaller cut.
A muscle tear is NOT the end of the world, though it is 10X more serious than the pull originally reported. It might take 2 months before he can even begin preparations, although knowing Wlad, he will continue his cardio and his leg work throughout his recovery, and have only sparring and some circuit training b4 this fight. I really don't think he should strength train for this one. I'd rather see him look a little less chiseled and a little more human and maintain his health, than to see him looking like a freak, and hurting himself again. Either way, this is exactly why Haye is calling him out again. Potential legal and physical problems. Kinda like that little dog in the cartoons that knows the big dogs chain is exactly 10ft long, and stands 10'1" away, taunting him. Look out David, it looks like Wlad is about to bust that chain, you little cowardly dog.
