    Does anyone know what would happen if one of the fighters got injured?
    I mean Froch is known for his hand troubles he's broken it a few times. Kessler I think has had a few injuries in his time....he fought injured against Calzaghe. Froch was injured before the Pascal fight. I think he fought with a broken rib. Froch also sustained an injury after the Talyor fight but I cant remember what it was.

    What would happen if hyperthatically speaking Froch broke his hand during his fight with Dirrell. Or Kessler did the same against Ward. Would the tournament be delayed or would they find a replacement? A hand injury could take 6months min to heal if im not mistaken?

    I think it depends on the severity of the injury. Cut, minor rib and other injuries can heal in time, so depending on all networks involved, rescheduling an event or two isn't much of a thing. But a major injury that takes months of recorvery - now that means it's ouvah, and Showtime have to call for a replacement. They seem to be pretty confident with this whole tourney, so my guess would be there are at least 2 names they contacted to be ready to step in if anything comes up.

    I think the likes of Bika and Andrade would be on the list of backups.

    BigBone thats an interesting point that people haven't mentioned. I wander who showtime have on StandBy :good:think
    The race is on....But Showtime probably got them to sign a non disclosure contract of some sort. So they have no choice but to keep there mouth sealed.
