    Said tongue in cheek, but if you read the article on

    http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=4416215

    it sounds as if he was in talks with Chambers about his fall mandatory, yet he had just had surgery and kept it a secret! Not sayin it makes what Pavlik did alright, but just shows he's not the only one I suppose. It also says in the article that because of his rehab not being complete and a lack of US television dates that 2010 would seem better...hmmm....I suppose it isn't completely uncommon for boxers to stiff the fans if it seems ppv sales won't do quite too well :yep Just food for thought! :hi:

    Lack of television dates? Wladimir has a television date with HBO in December.

    Well I thought he did...but I guess the surgery changed that.

    Anyway, the article talks of Spring of 2010. That's a long time between fights, and only 1 fight in 2009 for Wlad :-(

    We can blame David "Im fake injured" Haye for that. Wlad cant afford to fight less than 2-3x a year for his legacy.

    He is struggling getting across to Casual fans and this is a big body shot for him.

    Spring 2010 puts him back on schedule for 3 fights in 2010 which is what he wants to do try and have 3 fights every year.

    Well I just wanted to see, what flying colors you would use, blue, red, or maybe you would spice it up and use little bet of each and have jolly rainbow. Frankly, orange it's a bit banal and reminds of the broncos, so I am going to say it's a bit of disappointing, but I will survive:yep:lol:

    He frequently lets certain posters know the inside scoop, there's nothing wrong with keeping a secret is there? Ask him yourself.
