Wladimir has busted digit

According to Wladimir Klitschko's assistant trainer, the IBF heavyweight champion broke the middle finger on his left hand during his one-sided win over Lamon Brewster in Cologne, Germany yesterday. Jamen Ali Bashir said Klitschko already has a cast on the hand, which will remain in place for eight weeks. During the fight, there was no sign of any damage, as Klitschko repeatedly threw effective left hands, leading Brewster's trainer Buddy McGirt to stop the title fight after six rounds. source: associated press
