Gotta feel bad for Arlovski.

Medical Suspension Ices Arlovski’s Boxing Debut:

A 60-day medical suspension will prevent Andrei Arlovski from making his professional boxing debut for Golden Boy Promotions on June 27 in Los Angeles.

Arlovski, 30, was halfway through a four-week training camp with boxing luminary Freddie Roach and former heavyweight boxing champion Michael Moorer in Los Angeles when he got the call to face Rogers.

The bout completed the last fight on Arlovski’s three-fight contract with Affliction Entertainment, which sponsored the bout that aired on Showtime….

Not to be a dick

Arlovski went into this fight obviously over confident and got knocked out. I haven’t been able to find what Strikeforce paid their fighters but I can’t imagine it was worth the risk seeing that Golden Boy was behind his boxing debut.

Bad decision. You would think De La Hoya and Roach would have talked him out of taking the fight. I’m sure Werdum would have been called in had he declined it.
