Vlad broke left hand in the 1st

[Bummy Davis]

Wlad won despite hand injury!

[Only registered and activated users can see links] was announced after IBF/IBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's dominant win over former champion Lamon Brewster, that Wlad broke his left hand during the first round. The injury, however, did not deter the champion from repeatedly throwing hundreds of hard left jabs for the duration of the bout. "I'll be out three or four weeks," Wladimir stated. "My next title defense is not in danger."

This guy makes excuses even after a win ?!?

[DaHead242]

who cares, he could have beat Brewster last night with a wooden peg for a leg.

[lightning punch]

might be a fracture small one but definetely not a broken wrist. i seen the fight. people like news

[jyuza]

He won, who cares ?

Damn.

That says a lot about Wlad's will to win doesn't it? Now, for all those that question WK's heart and fighting spirit......................

are you serious? fighters hurt and fracture and break their hands all the time. It's not like he tore a rotator cuff and kept fighting like Jeff Lacy or kept fighting like Vit...never mind.

he didnt go through tough obstacles to prove his will or whatever last night.

i dont think he broke his hands either. a human cant use his broken hand. i dont believe that after fight survival stories.

No shit, but he could've clinched more & jabbed less couldn't he? He did stop throwing the left hook as much and started teeing off with the right hand sometime around the third.....................

I know, he hurt his wrist big deal. Fighters fight with bigger injuries all the time. Holmes fought Norton with a torn bicep that gave him huge pain every time he threw a left hand.

I don't care what you believe, if Wladimir claims his hand was broken it will probably need some type of medical attention and that's easy enough to check on if you really need confirmation. I don't.

Hurting your hand and still fighting while you're in there against a guy who cant hit you doesnt show will or heart. If the fight was a slugfest with both bleeding and hurt it would of shown will.

dont be an idol suck-up. it is not a good sign of character. be objective. you know how a person would react to a broken bone.

ESPN reports hand injury as a busted middle finger:

COLOGNE, Germany -- Wladimir Klitschko fought most of his title bout against Lamon Brewster with a broken left hand.

Assistant trainer Jamen Ali Bashir told The Associated Press Sunday that the heavyweight champion broke his middle finger during his technical knockout of Lamon Brewster on Saturday night.
Klitschko iced his hand immediately after the match, and is now wearing a cast from his left hand up past his elbow, Bashir said before boarding an airplane at the Cologne airport.

"It will take eight weeks to heal," Bashir said.

Maybe he can fight Ray Austin in a month and just use his right hand this time :lol:

No, I'm no suckup, I just see a couple of supposed boxing fans who are looking to nit-pick a practically perfect victory. Don't worry as you aren't the only one........................

Good work and fast too! Probably not enough proof for the naysayers though :-( They'll want x-rays an' shit and still some will say "so what, boxers deal with that all the time"

Truly sad state of mind.

Well let's see, one of you guys (I forgot which) is claiming that it can't be true and the other is saying "big deal, it happens all the time"

Which one were you again? :huh

Apparently some people will always believe that Wlad's people are only saying this to make him seem courageous for fighting with the injury.

[brooklyn1550]

Didn't look like it affected him much

[Muchmoore]

Exactly.

:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol: it does happen all the time. Every fighter hurts his hands. you make it sound like something heroic or an amazing feat. It's not Lacy fighting through a torn cuff or Abraham fighting with a broken jaw. I'm not doubting that it didnt happen but its a regular occurence.

and if there is one thing that can define you on this site it is a Klitschko suckup. Let me put it this way, If Wlad had syrup on his balls and asked you for a paper towel, you'd come back with a pancake and ask Wlad just to "shake his balls around and drizzle some on there for ya."

[Tencount85]

Wlad could've fought last night's fight with an arm amputated and he'd still win.

Well, not really.

Not even remotely funny & let me remind you that I DON'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS WHAT YOU THINK and most others would agree. :hi:

than why even respond? If you really didnt care then you wouldnt waste your time......could it be that you do care? Could it? I think you do. I really do and it means alot to me. I think you do care that i think you eat syrup from testicles.:hi:

You're going a little to far on this, drop the vulgarity. Ruskill has been making statements that have come to fruition, what's wrong with that? If you look at his posts- many of them have been right on.

It seems like one of you guys are going to get turned on in a second. You'll have to take a little break from posting and grab your nearest bottle of lotion...:rofl

Whatever floats your boat...just don't post a message about it...:deal

[Malph]

It could explain why Vlad quite throwing the left-hook very early in the fight -- even with Manny imploring him to do so. Brewster was seemingly there to be hit with the left-hook but Vlad was not throwing it -- maybe the broken hand/finger/cuticle is why.

It's Ruskull dammit! Thanks anyway, I was starting to think this bonehead was hittin' on me. :oops: Talkin' shit about syrup & balls an' shit- :barf

I was merely staing that Wlad continued to use the jab even after he supposedly broke a finger or hand and that he did use the left hook less later in the fight, relying on his right hand more.

Cuticle :rofl :yep

Maybe Wlad was worried that it might be a long fight & without that jab he'd be unable to control the ditance like he was.

[EpsilonAxis]

It's not impressive so much as far as heart as much as it is that he threw so many friggin jabs with it hurt.

[Suge Green]

A KLIT with a hurt hand beats a Brewster with no heart...:oops:

[Lostmykeys]

He ws probably drugged too.

[theCandle]

Man after reading some of the comments in the posts i really wonder why so many people are out to crack his balls so badly, he's a good fighter with some nice power how bad can that be?

I wonder why all the hate on him, i can understand he's not muhamad ali but we're in a different era and got what we've got.:-(
If it's true that he did fracture the hand then maybe that's why he didn't unload as much as he could have with Brewster mostly on defensive and throwing next to nothing.

I was waiting for a few decent left hooks but even so with his Manny combo of a left hook right cross he could skimp on the hook to get the right off. Ah well.

[Gabriel R.]

A KLIT with a hurt hand beats a Brewster with no heart...:oops:

Somehow it looks like they changed the roles that they were supposed to play.

[Suge Green]

Somehow it looks like they changed the roles that they were supposed to play.

Team KLIT new that they reversed roles before they stepped in the ring...the broken finger had no bearing on the outcome.

[Suge Green]

How is that an excuse. He breaks his jab hand but keeps jabbing. An excuse would have been saying he broke it and then if he quit the fight. He has no reason to lie about breakimg it. He won in the end, in a dominant fashion

Newsflash...he did not break his hand, he broke a finger. The lie is that he broke the hand...cheapening an otherwise legit victory.

[Suge Green]

One thing is for sure, he broke Lamonts face with both hand........Lamonts face is purple today.....

Are you serious...??? Links...??? Part of my criticism of Brewster is due to the fact that he wasn't seriously hurt physically (although he took some serious shots) and quit.

[Suge Green]

Check Fightnews. Lamon has a "hurt lower jaw" and his eye is reinjured.

I hate those guys...they also said WLAD had a broken hand when it was a broken finger.

...later tonight it might comeback that Lamon has a black eye and a fat lip.
