    Brilliant, I love this post :D

    In fairness Lee fought for a world title and was ahead on points til he was stopped. He has a serious stamina problem. Ife never seen a boxer get so tired in later round every time.

    I agree. Andy Lee's career to date has been, well, disappointing. However Geale or Barker will soon be a world champion. Andy has shot against those guys.

    While I believe Haye will beat Fury Flanno's comment was quite funny

    + 1

    Ahead on points after 6 rds. The moment Chavez went to work Lee was done for. Lee is very very ordinary at pro level. Lots get to fight for titles. Many selected not because they're worthy, but because they're an easy defence. Lee fits into the latter category.

    Yeah i thought there seemed to be genuine dislike between them in the build up to Fury v Cunningham suprised Steve is helping him, Good spar for Fury as Steve is quick and caused Fury big problems in their fight good chance to improve on some of his weak points

    Very insighftul interview from Tyson's training camp. Very honest, smart and humble fellow, behind all the promotional bravado



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    I couldn't make it through, does he absolutely have to do this Q&A while eating?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 164 ✭✭jimbev


    please god don't let tyson sing again :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,750 ✭✭✭✭Frank Bullitt


    This isn't that far away, I am surprised at how little the build up has been for it.

    Tickets still available for this aswell, after the initial media coverage things have quitened down a bit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,426 ✭✭✭clubwelly


    Yeah its gone quiet but suppose that might be to do with Tyson being locked away in trainin camp abroad.
    Recon Sky will kick start the hype machine from this weekend on


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,325 ✭✭✭gene_tunney


    The winner (which will be Haye by KO) should have to fight Pulev.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,782 ✭✭✭ASOT


    Gonna be over that weekend for the warehouse project, hopefully tickets will still be available in a week or two!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 215 ✭✭Craptacular


    Peter Fury was on Steve Bunce's podcast last week. They're locked in camp in Belgium but are expected back by Sky very soon for the open training camps and general hype machine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 542 ✭✭✭Charlie George


    Cant see how people think Hayes wil win,I think Fury by pts,and Andy Lee to win by K.O on the undercard.

    Steve Cunningham floored Tyson, Steve by all accounts has average power, especially at HW. Love or hate David Haye, he can bang.

    If he lands on Tyson its game over. If Tyson has the discipline to stick with the game plan, he could win by UD.

    IMO, The most likely result, Haye by KO.

    Yeah, but in that fight Tyson was like a mad thing who completely lost the head, heck Bernard Dunne would have floored him that night.
    The important thing was that he got back up, recovered well and ended up knocking out his opponent.
    I'd expect Tyson to be a lot more cautious and tactical in this fight, Haye may knock him but as Tyson said if he doesn't nail him to the canvas then he is getting back up.
    I'm starting to think that Tysons will to win and determination could just carry him over the line. Will all depend on what kind of shape Haye is in and how much fight there is left in him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,309 ✭✭✭T-K-O


    No the important thing to remember is that Tyson was reckless and got hit. If that happens V Haye. There will be no getting up. Haye will knock him out.

    Like I said, If Fury can stick with the game plan he's got a chance to win but to date nothing suggests he possess that discipline.

    one of the best impressions i've seen in a long time

    IMO I think people are getting sucked into the marketing hype around this fight...

    I cannot see how Fury has much of a chance against Haye, Fury is being blown up to be the next big thing for some reason were clearly he is no were near a Heavyweight world champion level, this will be a handy nights pay packet for Haye who i think will stop Fury within 6 rounds fairly easy enough.

    haha that is quality!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭DK224


    I think people are looking far too much into the knockdown by Cunningham and writing Tyson off as chinny, he was clearly play-acting and over confident in the lead up to the knockdown and if you watch his feet position he's square on and his right foot isn't even planted on the floor


    I think with Peter Fury in his corner this time round he'll keep a lid on Fury, Tyson himself knows this is his acid test and won't leave his chin out to dry and will stick to the gameplan especially in the early rounds

    Not everybody is to be fair, there are still tickets available for this fight even though Adam Booth claimed it was the fastest selling fight david haye had been involved in.

    Haye is a level above Fury and i also believe an early-ish stoppage is the most likely result here.

    Sky are taking the piss already with this fight at €21.95 if you order before midnight on the 27th is bad enough...but if you get the fight on the day the price is jacked up by €5 for some reason.

    That's disgraceful isn't it. I think it may just be for phone bookings on the day, but nonetheless, €21.95 is too much as it is.

    Thanks for the warning. I will get it. I always say I won't and then I do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 514 ✭✭✭DuckHook


    Keep an eye out for it lads, i think its only for phone orders though according to the website so if you have the full sky services with your broadband running you might dodge this fee if you leave it late.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,630 ✭✭✭Alpha Dog 1


    Looking forward to this, should be a cracker.
    Definitely a fight that's worth paying simply because of the people who are involved.
    Really hope Tyson can win but he's definitely up against it.
    I reckon if he can avoid getting knocked out in the first 6 rounds he may be able to sneak it on points.

    Gonna chance a sneaky 10er of fury on points @ 9/1.
