If Hayes back is badly injured?

Prescription medicines pose problems for athletes with back injuries. If the script masks the pain then it would be difficult to risk any activity. He could do more damage and not even realize it.

Some scripts also take a while to get out of the body's system and he could risk failing a drug test if he tries to fight in 21 days.

Hopefully he gets an accurate diagnosis because back injuries are very tricky sometimes.

 

Uh no.....you have no clue what you are talking about.

Why the hell would Haye, knowing his ass is doomed anyway come into this fight any less than 100%

If he ducks out completely then I'll call him on it but I'll give him the benifit of the doubt here.

 

The back is a different animal. It affects pretty much eveerything you do compared to a leg or arm injury.

The only way to allow a back injury to heal is to do nothing for a couple of weeks, whereas if you tweaked your shoulder you could do everything that doesn't involve using that shoulder and then do rehab for that injury after training.

Why would he come into this fight having not trained to his full abilities for 2 weeks leading up to the fight.......he needs everything he can get.

 

if it's not a serious injury but merely a strain or a sore muscle or something that Haye has absolutely no legitimate reason to postpone the fight. ****, what next - fights will get called off when someone breaks his nail?

 

According to his trainer, he has been getting steroid injections on the injury site. That means disk issues. Probably a herniated disk. Which if that's the case, he is done. Yes, it can be repaired, but he will not be boxing in three weeks.

 

That's what I thought, too.

I think its a ploy to give Haye either time to get better prepared, or to weasel out, entirely.

But, I may be wrong, but knowing his back will be good to go in a mere 3 weeks sure is fishy sounding, to me.

 

So now he can get guiced up for the fight too?!?! :rofl

If I were Wlad i'd tell this clown to go **** himself. This is beyond ridiculous!!!

 

If Haye will be on steroids like his trainer is suggesting that fight becomes absolutely senseless. It will be declared an NC as soon as it's over and the official tests are done. Remember Toney-Ruiz.

 

If its a herniated disc, will Haye be tagged *Fragile* as Vitali was?

 

Actually some argue that Vitali's acts were more cowardish, because his injury was light enough to fight on with knee braces (as fighters in the past had done with similar light injuries), but canceled the fight anyway.

"Arum said he was told about the injury Friday night by Klitschko's handlers. Arum took Klitschko to orthopedic surgeon Tony Daly, who diagnosed the injury as a sprain and fitted Klitschko with the brace. Klitschko injured the knee while sparring Thursday in Los Angeles, Arum said. The injury caused him balance problems, which Arum said the brace will prevent."
