BoxingScene.com has received confirmation from Zanfer Promotions that WBC/WBO bantamweight champion Fernando Montiel has suffered a leg fracture from motorcycle accident which took place over the weekend. Montiel was set to fight on November 20 and that contest is sure to be off. The recovery time for Montiel is unknown. Top Rank had planned for a fight with Nonito Donaire on February 19. There is no confirmation on whether the February date will have to be postponed to a later point in the year.

Its a fracture, he'll take the rest of the year off. Its not a very serious injury, it could have been a lot worse. He will still end up fighting Donaire in Feb, hopefully Doaire wins his fight in December.

We really don't know anything at all as the article doesn't mention where the fracture is and how bad it is. All it says is "recovery time unknown." That could mean anything from several weeks to career over.

according to Montiel he said he didnt hurt it too bad (hes glad he didnt break it)..... still were 5 months from the proposed date, yo Einstein how long would you expect him to be gone for?
He wont fight again this year, he wont cancel a fat pay check with Donaire. Theres a reason Arum didnt make the fight this year.... it was because he wanted to sell this fight to HBO when they got their new budget (also the reason they turned down the tourney invite)

Dan wrote a bit about it. There's even a pic of Montiel being all shits and giggles about it.
Turns out, it's not a fracture. He was just bruised, cut and had some fragments cleaned out. LOL the weird part is that he was the passenger, not the driver.

@ Diego sorry I should have paid more attention to your expertise on the subject of nine fractures and your understanding of orthopedic medicine.
@ woodchuck ie Belcubu, that's what fuck he gets for riding bitch.

And BTW my comment was based off the statement Montiel made about his accident.
