    How do you figure its worth €21.95 for this fight..its a piss take.

    Because with David Haye and Tyson fury anything can happen and not just in the ring.

    Its a good fight i wont argue against that ...but €21.95 is absurd. Another question would be why is there a 15% premium on the irish fans for this one..£15 for the Uk which coverts to €18?

    Typical nonsense from sky, it will be a purchase from me but not a hope for the froch v groves fight.

    Not really looking forward to this fight at all.

    Either way, no matter who wins, the Klitschkos will have emails on the Sunday.

    I wouldn't say that based on 90 seconds of edited footage of Haye winging several looping overhand rights at the likes of Wach and Dimitrenko. Would have loved to see the unedited footage of the Wilder sparring though! Haye rattled him with that right at 1:06 but Wilder got his own right hand that done the same at 1:12.

    Could easily see Haye stopping Fury early but if he doesn't and the fight drags into the middle rounds that extra weight Haye looks to have put on in this camp will hamper him.

    I'm not sure it's being shown here in Vancouver, so I might try and get a link for it. I'll be interested to see who wins, although I do think it's Hayes to lose.

    This makes no sense at all, haye has always packed on extra muscle for heavyweight fights and its yet to hamper him in anyway around the middle rounds.

    As I said the weight he put on in this camp. He has weighed in at 210 for his last three fights and will be weighing in approaching 220 for this one judging from interviews with Adam Booth and its clear to see he has bulked up for this fight from the various media he has done in the last few days.

    To be honest if adam booth said it was raining i would pack away my umbrella.

    I dont think haye would be to impacted by an extra 8-10 lbs as since the thompson fight its vey hard to question his conditioning and if put on the right way it makes me more confident of a victory for him.

    I just think the lack of ringtime is going to catch up to him sooner rather than later and the addition of 10 pounds will hurt him if the fight goes long. I still have the image of him blowing so hard against Chisora in those 4th and 5th rounds.
    But yeah if we all had the same opinions it wouldn't be very exciting! I just hope Fury doesn't get taken out early as I have shelled out to head over to it next weekend and don't want a short night!!

    Fight is off. Haye cut in training.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,901 ✭✭✭Howard Juneau


    Yep, he got 6 stitches, probably not going to happen until Feb now


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


    Ah bloody hell, was looking forward to the fight. Is that the second time in succession?
    Is Haye running scared or is this legit?

    Looks bad enough. Getting injured in his training camps is becoming a regular occurrence!


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


    I would have thought that all the sparring would have been completed by this stage.

    He's on sky saying it was his final sparring session & got it in the 2nd round

    I'm glad, this should not be PPV, Haye has stunk out Boxing fans with non performances to many times to be PPV and it just hurts the sport of Boxing.

    Haye stinks. Its sucks because he has huge power and great potential, but instead of cleaning out the division (bar K2) he talks rubbish and then doesn't deliver.

    PPV is more to do with hype and names, not quality. And, Haye and Fury are big names on these isles. That is PPV. Added to the fact that it's at HW, and both are English!

    Exactly!

    People getting carried away and confusing PPV with ability. It's all about entertainment and the demand for it. These are two very big characters in the boxing world in the UK, if sky believe people are willing to pay for an event then it becomes a pay per view event.

    I agree it should be PPV, just think Haye stinks.

    Find it nice and ironic that he said his sparring partners would beat Fury, turns out they can beat you as well, David.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,901 ✭✭✭Howard Juneau


    Seems there won't be a rearranged date now.
    Peter Fury has stated that they will move on & not fight Haye.
