Another one bites the dust:

Just posted by Dan Rafael on ESPN.com a few minutes ago.

Heavyweight titleholder Oleg Maskaev suffered a back injury Thursday and his Oct. 6 mandatory defense against Samuel Peter at Madison Square Garden in New York was postponed on Friday, promoter Dennis Rappaport told ESPN.com.

poor ol Peter

 

I am getting really annoyed with the heavyweight division guys. Its bad enough we got a weak division, but when the major players start getting hurt and postponing ****, its almost like the division isnt even there. real ****ing dissappointing. Bless the heavens for the cruiserweight wieght limit increase, i think its time for cruiser to shine and take over as the 'new' heavyweight division.

Ding, Matt Godfrey, Cunningham, Oneil Bell, Mormeck, you got some solid players in there and they actually show up in shape with skill!

 

Wow, the great end of this year for fights is going down in flames one big fight at a time.

Just wait, Pac will hurt himself during a tragic durian accident postponing yet another huge fight.

 

All these postponements and these cancleations are getting rediculess.
Peter should fight the #2 contender Vladimir Virchis (acording to the Sep 10 rankings from fight news) If Maskaev recovers he should fight the winer.
Vitali Klitschko should have his "free pass" revoked to clear the wy for all this to happen.

 

atsch What are the EUROs doing to hurt their backs so much ?

 

Maybe the ticket sales were crappy.

I hate it when there's all these Saturday nights with two fights of significance.

Re-schedule it to a date with no other big fights on.

 

They should strip Maskaev and let Peter fight someone elso for the vacant WBC title. This **** is too much

 

whats going on with all these fights being postponed/cancelled,

maybe maskaev just wants to be champion for a little longer?

 

:twisted:

This takes the fecking ****.

****s sake.

AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That ***** Maskaev is delaying the inevitable, the wbc should take his title away and give it to Peter.

 

:good

 

Un-freaking-believable. I was so hoping this was a joke when I read the subject of this thread.
