Mosley-Judah Canceled; Chagaev-Valuev Postponed
Thursday May 8, 2008
Scratch Shane Mosley vs. Zab Judah off your list of fights to watch in the near future. The fight, scheduled for May 31, has been canceled due to an arm injury suffered by Judah. What was originally called a "training camp injury" has now been reported as multiple severe lacerations on his right forearm - requiring 50 stitches - after Judah slipped in his Las Vegas bathroom and, in attempt to brace himself, put his arm through a glass shower door. Maybe that's what happened. Maybe not. Either way, the injury will prevent Judah from training for at least four weeks. An attempt will be made to reschedule the bout at a later date.
In other canceled/postponed fight news, heavyweight beltholder Ruslan Chagaev withdrew from his scheduled May 31 rematch with former champ Nikolay Valuev due to a viral laryngitis and pharyngitis or, in less medical terms, "a highly feverish viral infection of the upper respiratory tract with heavy symptoms". Chagaev's second title defense has been rescheduled for July 5.

It would have been really great to see Sugar Shane back in action. Too bad. Perhas Floyd wants a tune-up match and Shane can get the chance to tune him out!
