Haye in Khan's dressing room during Mitchell-Prescott

[Goz]

Did anyone see/notice the footage between Rounds 6 and 7?

Haye goes in to see Khan, Amir clearly asks how his right hand his, Haye talks for a bit then takes off the protector/cast thing to show him and Roach jumps up to point out there is a camera on them and steps in front of it.

Haye is calm as anything but by the time Roach has moved the cast is back on.

Not doubting the veracity of David's injury, actually find it amusing that Freddie Roach clearly does as he was so keen to inform Haye that a camera was right on them!

I saw that footage, how do you come to the conclusion that's what happened though? I got the impression Roach got up to have a look at his hand, I'm sure Haye would be more than aware there would be a camera in the dressing room for a fight like that.

Roach was obviously telling him there was a camera in the room. But Haye was quite clearly showing Khan where his hand was f*cked.

[MightyWarrior]

Interesting, I saw him in there but missed that bit - maybe he believes a fighter should keep injuries, as a sign of weakness, away from the prying eyes. Maybe the hand is really badly f*cked?
It should be after hitting something the size of Valuev's head.

Yes absolutely, that's how I saw it. But as I said Roach's thought process intrigues me - "I better let David know there's a camera on him in case the hand injury is a load of old bollox" - which says to me this kind of stuff does most definitely go on.

Sorry just being an old gossip....

I noticed that clip as well.
Busted showing amir his pinky finger was the only thing he really hurt.

Oh shit is that a camera

Haye removed what is called a back slab From his hand. Something that is reguarly used for stable fractures of the 5th metacarpal. I have no doubt the injury is real.

i saw hayes hand at the airport after the fight its a genuine injury and i dont understand why people doubt that.

[Asterix]

The injury is obviously real. Haye was on GMTV or 'This Morning' and showed a severely swollen hand.

I did think the situation was funny as well. Roach clearly thought Haye wouldn't want the cameras seeing it.

i do think the injury is genuine but i thought exactly the same u can see roach jump up to let him know people can see

[ALI]

Watching this unfold live i assumed Roach had just gotten up to take a look.

I dont doubt David's injury at all. Curious as to why Roach thought he might want to hide it from the camera though. It does seem sinister somehow. Two thoughts spring to mind, both already pointed out above, 1) that Roach, in the split second that he had to evaluate the situation, thought it might be a fake injury or 2) that he should not give away his weaknesses on camera. Or perhaps there's a third option, that Roach thought that if the injury was not visible on camera, it might be discredited by the media and not in Haye's favour to show it off? He's been around a lot and seen it all, perhaps his natural instinct was just to protect him from what he thought was a situation that could potentially have played out bad for Haye?

back slabs can be used for anything..legs..arms etc, its just a non limb encircling plaster in the back of the affected limb..

for hayes injury......movement should be encouraged, as this increases the blood supply and therefore promotes healing.

Your right a back slab can be used for most things and Haye should be encouraged on gentle movement, depending on callus formation at 4 weeks post injury.

My point was both the cast and injury are genuin, something an earler post doubted.

[dondada]

It's genuine. I saw it. Unless it's a huge conspiracy like when they lied to everyone, including me, about him killing himself to make weight before Enzo.

Nah, it's genuine.

all this crap about haye's hand injury being fake is aload of bollocks, he was on sky sports news a day or 2 after his fight with valuev and his hand was swollen up like a balloon, lets not forget haye won the fight with valuev so why would he fake injury to make excuses??

You're a kinky little thing, aren't you?

Haye's hand injury, and has been asserted a few times in this topic, was genuine. I think we pretty much all agree now.
