Klitschko-Haye in doubt yet again, Press conferences cancelled....

What am I seeing on sky one.
David Haye messing around in a ring with Justin Beaver or what ever his name is.

StevePH · 28-06-2011 10:17PM

That was a bizarrrrrrrre show. Started off weird with Haye being interviewed by Michael McIntyre - WTF. Ended with Haye becomin the interviewer...for Beiber and Dizzee Rascal

Reading the last couple of pages of this thread it strikes me so many people are drawn in by the hype. Thought people would see through the Rocky music and Ivan Drago-Wlad comparison. Wouldn't it be hilarious if they got Wlad to say "I must break you" or "If he dies, he dies"!

The fight centres around whether Haye can land some decent shots. He won't be winning on points in Germany but he has the power to trouble Wlads suspect chin. Think he's a bit too cautious though and Wlad will grind it out comfortably on points for me. Hope i'm wrong but be warned this will be a boring fight. Two very cagey fighters.

I disagree. I think Haye will make it far from a boring fight, I think he will go straight at Wladimir because Wladimir wouldn't know what to do. He would be so used to using the jab from range, etc.

I think if Wlad get's knocked down once or twice and gets up, his default gameplan would be very shook up.

I hope for Wlad v Samuel Peter part 1. With a different ending though.

evil_seed · 30-06-2011 03:46PM

Any idea what time they'll be touching gloves at?

I seriously do not understand all the Haye hate, I mean Wlad is one of the most boring heavy weight champions in the history of the sport who is partly responsible for the stagnation of boxing in the public eye over the past ten years. I mean seriously, jab jab jab does not make for exciting fights. And I will be honest, he could be best boxer in the world , if his fights are boring people won't care, that's why most common people couldn't tell you who the heavy weight world champion is. The heavy weight division is dead , I mean guys like Holyfield still fighting for titles is embarrassing, Haye is breathing life into a lifeless division.

Haye sells fights, regardless of how he does, sure he runs his mouth, but do people forget Ali? The king of running his mouth and yet now he is venerated.

You make it sound so easy. As if going at Klitschko, a man with a huge reach advantage and the best jab i've ever seen, is easy!

Klitschko has been in twice as many professional fights. He's a thinking mans fighter if ever there was one. There's no way a man with such limited experience at Heavyweight will get him flustered. Whats more likely is Haye for the first time in his career gets hit by a proper heavyweight and gets shaken up.

Klitschko may be a safety first fighter but unlike the 4 bums Haye has fought at Heavyweight he's heavy handed. For me Haye and Booth know this and they'll want to avoid any toe to toe stuff as much as possible. Klitschko was born cagey, Haye has no choice.

sendit · 01-07-2011 09:36AM

Would love to see Klitschko knock Hayes head off cant stand him!

fightireland · 01-07-2011 09:58AM

Howdy,

We just spoke with Paddy Power who told us that this has become the biggest fight of all time :eek::eek:

Any of you gents know if I can order this fight on UPC? Neither Sky or UPCs sites have been helpful so I suspect the answer is no

SanoVitae · 01-07-2011 11:08AM

If that's true, David Haye deserves all the credit because his big mouth is responsible for the fight happening in the first place.

Can you imagine how big a fight between a victorious Haye and avenging big brother Vitali would be?! :eek:

Don't think you can with UPC but PM sent about an alternative

fightireland · 01-07-2011 11:11AM

Madness, well I can only go on what I'm hearing but that is mad! I guess the lack of football or decent racing on would attract punters but biggest of all time is some feat.

Agreed - I reckon Hayes next three fights are against Klitschkos either way :rolleyes:

munster87 · 01-07-2011 11:13AM

I can only see this being his last fight when Wladimir knocks him out

01-07-2011 11:13AM

Its definitely not the biggest fight of all time. The only reason its a big fight because there is no other fight out there besides Pacquiao V Mayweather.

Richard Hillman · 01-07-2011 11:14AM

You should be able to order it on UPC. Go to the PPV channel and ring the number on the screen or just ring up UPC customer service, its probably the same number. I will advise to order NOW. For Mayweather-Hatton i was trying to order from 3 o clock that saturday until 1 in the morning. I spent the whole day sitting on the stairs drinking :pac:

getz · 01-07-2011 11:22AM

what is the chance of haye winning on points,the ref is hand picked by klitschiko ,as for the judges who knows,on home soil,its well known that its dam near impossible to get a decision in germany,haye has to knock him out,

TiGeR KiNgS · 01-07-2011 11:26AM

It just shows how weak heavy weight division has become.

Haye has no chance on points imo and it will be nothing to do with the judges. He needs a KO no matter what.

Gandalph · 01-07-2011 11:43AM

g'wan the Haye!

What exactly has Haye done for the heavyweight division? You make it sound as if he is cleaning the division up.

First he fought Monte Barrett who was never any good.

He fought Valuev, who was one of the worst champions ever and just about won.

then he has fought Ruiz who was seriously past it.

Next he fought the great Audley Harrison.

For all Haye's slagging of Wlad fighting nobodies Haye has fought worse opposition by far.

Oh and Haye is going to retire in November, he has done **** all for the heavyweight division in my eyes. He has just been hyped up by Sky Sports.

Bodhisopha · 01-07-2011 12:04PM

It's going to be very LOL when Klitschko turns Haye's legs to jelly with a stiff jab.

Johner · 01-07-2011 12:12PM

Followed Haye on Twitter this morning to see if he said anything about the weight in,

Great the weight in is in a few hours! but that comment is followed by him saying he is looking at himself in the mirror and telling us how ripped he is,followed a few hours later by a picture of him getting his hair braided. ffs
