How do we think this one will pan out?

Fights off mate. Cardle got a leg injury playing football last week.

That's gutting.
How bad an injury is it?

Playing footy a week before a title fight is a disgrace. Wasnt the strongest tv card anyway but the loss of this fight makes it worse.

Yeah, I thought that. It annoys me enough when fights get postponed because a boxer picked up a cut in sparring (which is usually a clash of heads and or a headguard would prevent it) but this is infuriating.
This bout made the TV card worth watching.
Looks like I'll end up letting the Mrs have X-Factor on and I'll record this and save my TV monopoly for another night.

I can except injuries in the gym sparring stuff like that but football a week before a fight is a disgrace. It might hav been a charity game but look at the fans who hav brought tickets to show.
