The Army Boxing Thread

[binnie]

Chisora is a thug. Google him and look at his charges/record.

I'll say this though: despite being out of condition in most of his fights he is a tough customer and will be much, much heavier than Haye and prepared to take all the punishment Haye can dish out. Assuming Haye keeps from getting himself tagged too much I expect him to be too fast and too sharp for Chisora. Move, move, 1-2, move, move, 1-2. And so on.

Haye is a small heavy by today's standards. The interesting thing is that he's actually about the same size as Ali - 6'3'' and 215-220. Admitedly Ali is naturally heavier (Haye is muscular) but it shows just how freakishly large heavies have become since the '90s.

Bookies have Haye as a strong favourite.

haye should hand chisora his ass on a plate ... i dont rate chisora at all ...apart from the fact he is a nob.
But i was surprised how well he did against vitali ...

[vandeleur]

i got mates coming out to watch the fight who arnt even that bothered about boxing .. i think the hype has worked and its on at a class time to go out have as much beer as is humanly possible and then watch the fight in a good pub atmosphere...am sick of watching bigish fights at my mates and by 4 oclock comes round half are asleep and am to pissed to do anything but try and draw on their faces

Chisora has a punch and he'll be looking to maul Haye, who has to keep his distance to win.

[vandeleur]

I thought chisora proved he could take a punch against vitali and arguably did better against his klitchko than haye did against his ...am not sure where chisora dragged that performance up from but he did it.
It's gonna be an enjoyable fight but I don't think I Like either guy .
I am pretty sure there will be a strange balancing act between both fighters trying to wind each other up
And both fighters trying to behave ... Should be interesting

Chisora did better against Vitali than Haye did against Wlad but watching that fight i could not help but think Vitali was showing his age.I would even say now out of the two Wlad is the bigger danger.So yes Chisora can take a beating but he also lost to Tyson Fury,'Nuff said.As long as Haye sticks and moves and does not try standing and banging he should take this.Chisora will know this so will try to cut off the ring,pressure haye to the ropes and clinch to slow him down.Still say Haye takes it though


In terms of character i don't actually mind Haye.He was the unified cruiserweight champ and can actually box,His accomplishments give him a bit of room to be an ass.Chisora is like a pantomime villain.He is not a terribly good boxer and has done very little.As binnie has said he is a thug outside of the ring.I am sure i read some time back he has two charges for assault

This is why i have some worry about Haye in this fight. He has a lot of skill but that squared circle has parameters. I'm afraid that his workrate to keep distance may tire him enough to get caught late.

All the talk is haye and chisora but is any body up for khan vs Garcia ....
I fancy it I think it will be an exciting fight , I don't see it being boring that's for sure

[Dave's Bitch]

you know i was going to mention that fight myself earlier.I say Khan will take this one.What with all the racial stuff from Garcia's father i would think Khan will have fire going in to it.Should be a good one

Yeah the more I read about it the more exciting it sounds

[binnie]

Khan should win it fairly handily.

Garcia is tough and hungry, but he's slower than soil erosion.....

[sonrisa salvaje]

Well lets start making some official picks. I don't have any virtual dollars left but i can use my virtual credit card.

[vandeleur]

man i think were all back at one dollar each after the paq man result took us to the cleaners

[binnie]

I concur.

Official pick:

Haye UD Chisora.

I'll break it down later.
