    This rash of injuries is really starting to get to me. So many fights I was looking forward to have been cancelled lately. Versus was hit a couple times with Thompson and Wright getting hurt, and now, with each passing day, ESPN Fright Night Fights upcoming cards get worse. First, Owen Beck pulls out against Solis, now Quintana sprains his ankle and won't fight in week two. That doesn't even include Banks, Povetkin, and I'm sure about ten others I'm forgetting. I just hope this turns around and we finally get to see some good fights, especially those scheduled for free tv.

    These Christmas time injuries are fishy if you ask me.

    Just curious, but did SRL, Ali, Frazier, Foreman, Hearns, Duran....etc.,etc., ever pull out of a fight due to injury? I honestly don't know the answer, but I don't remember Any fights from the 70s or 80s where fighters pulled out. Maybe I was just too young/stupid to make note of it.

    It's quite obvious they are happening pretty often now.

    Here we go again. Joe Greene pulls out of his fight with Sergio Martinez. Man, I know fighters have always pulled out of fights, but it is happening every two weeks lately. Who's next?
