Just seen the David Haye - Wlad Klitschko 'Face Off' with Max Kellermen.

2 thoughts:

1) Wlad is PISSED. Haye is clearly in his head. We should be in for a good fight whilst it lasts (although my gut feeling is that Wlad will win).

2) I would never - and I mean NEVER - get tired of punching Kellerman in the face.

Agree with you on point one. The mental aspect is HUGE. But I just cant see Haye going all the way....

But really? You dont like Max? He is a little smug, but dude knows boxing. I dont mind him.

I don't think Max knows that much about boxing, to be honest.

The reason I don't like him is his ego. He seems to think he deserves camera time, when I want to hear about the fighters. He never really asks searching questions either.

I just about fell out when Haye said Wlad is a dickhead!

With all due respect....

Dave Haye is prolly gonna get knocked the fuck out.....

BUT he is going out in style. My pops told me a long time ago to get a hustle. Diamond Dave Haye is on the attack. It SEEMS to be working. I hate all Klitschkos.... FUCK I hope for a real fight......

Heavyweight boxing is a damn joke.... Why cant us fans get what we want? Which I presume is Gatti/Ward every night?

PS Aaron "the hawk" Pryor for president.

Hey if Clarence Thoma can do crack.........

I can't see Haye winning either - his speed, and the agnles he throws shots from, give him a good chance of an upset, but I honestly don't think there's anyone around who can handle Wlad's shots.

HW boxing is dull. I think it is more to do with the lack of opposition than the capability of the Klits, however. They KO everyone is frontthem, like a HW champ should do.

[Dave's Bitch]

Ordering the Fight.I cant wait .Haye needs to try and take wlads reach away and come out hard and fast on the inside.anything past round 5 and wlad has an advantage.

Would LOVE to see the upset but i doubt it.I will say for now Wlad by KO,perhaps round 8

[binnie]

I imagine that Wlad's camp will expect Haye to try and duck the jab to get into range and land. Wlad will be throwing a right cross right behind his jab to counter this.

I doubt that's Haye's plan however. Expect him to use angles and try to keep Wlad turning.

Alavarez looked pretty good on Saturday. I'm still not sold on the hype yet though.

Put him in with Cintron next.

This is the most exciting Heavyweight fight in years and i am psyched. Binnie I think you are right. Haye seems to be a smart fighter so i would think he would plan to do something opposite of what Wlad expects him to do. I don't know what that would be but i am hoping it is enough to keep the fight competative and make Klit have to think in there.

Decent fight card last night. Sad to hear about the death of longtime boxing announcer Nick Charles from cancer. Devon Alexander got a suspect win last night. Mattysee (apologize for spelling) got robbed and i thought he won the fight. Tavares Cloud looked pretty good knocking out Yusef Mack. I didn't get a look at the Felix Sturm fight but i heard he won. Only 6 days away now until the big one.

[binnie]

Sturm won a SD. I wouldn't say acklin was 'robbed', but I would say that Sturm was lucky.

Cloud looked good, but Yusef Mack is long overdue. I'm still not sold on Cloud.

As for Alexander - what happened? He was one of the most promsing fighters in the sport 2 years ago.

Agree, if you don't stand in front of Cloud and LET him hit you, he's baffled. I was a little more impressed with Mack overall, he just (finally) got caught by that left hook.

As for Alexander - what happened? He was one of the most promsing fighters in the sport 2 years ago.

Totally, and that was a lackluster performance at best - amazed it wasn't a draw, especially (though he wasn't hurt, was laughing as he hit the deck, BUT) since Alexander got knocked on his ass. He almost got beat by a dude with a rat-tail mullet, FFS!
