View Full Version : Ian injured! Out of the Souwer fight!?!

Certainly seems that way:

Just got some disappointing news from Ian's trainer, this is what he said:
"Last week Ian was sparring in preparation for his upcoming fight with Andy Souwer, he did a jump knee & his sparring partner grabbed the knee, Ian came down on an angle landing awkwardly & has totally ruptured (broken) his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)
he needs a recon on the knee as it is really unstable, he tried to train on it. I am sure he partially tore this ligament just before he fought kid Yamamoto, Ian went into that fight with a local anaesthetic
in the knee & gave Kid one of the hardest fights he has had.
Ian is devastated by this realisation but he has assured me he will come harder & hungrier than ever. Thanks to all the supporters on the Forums which always offer great support to Team Schaffa." -Mick Spinks

He would be a good replacement. I would be even more happy if are man JWP got the call. Outside of them I would like to see Yodsenklai, Kamel el amrani, and I think my biggest number one is Danial Dawson. To me its should have been DD's spot anyways.

I would like to see Dawson in the elims, but not against Souwer, since they already fought recently in the S-Cup. I'd prefer to see Petrosyan, Direkci or Yodsanklai.

If they go with Dawson I would have to pick Andy, but if they go with Yodsenklai I actually think I would pick him. He beat Kamel much easier then I thought and JWP said he was the best fighter he ever faced. He would be golden if he could get his shot in K-1 even though his style is not as pleasant to watch as Buakaw's is.

I hope they don't put Dawson in! I'm paying good money to see him fight Preacher on the 22nd :p

Bad luck for Ian, he poses problems for anyone in the division in my opinion.
