Nobody should buy this fight. Both these guys are not true to the game. This fight is a slap in the face to boxing.
I never understood why Vitali talk about a fight against David Haye after Wlad won! This was stupid. That Haye makes the same show again would be more than clear. So now it is like it is. Haye vs. Chisora a good Heavyweight fight and Vitali can fight the winner.
Rahman v Povetkin on the same card, the winners can fight next perhaps and get the division going again ?
I don't quite know which way it will go either. I feel a lot of people are overestimating Haye badly due to his big mouth and charisma. We have yet to see anything special from him at HW. This will be the first time he faces anyone younger than himself and only the second time he is up against someone remotely prime. On the flip side he is going to be bigger, rangier and faster. As for Chisora, I liked the way moved against both Helenius and Vitali K. He knows how to move his head and body coming in, he can take a shot and has a good body attack when he makes his rangier opponents miss. That could be bad news for Haye who may not have the same toughness and stamina in the ring. Then again, Haye can crack and it's certainly possible to land on Chisora. I could see Haye ending the fight with power punches, but I could also see Chisora swarming him and wearing him down. Finally, Haye is coming off a one year layoff - that may also affect his performance as he isn't hugely experienced to begin with in spite of being 31.
The great thing about this fight is that lines are clearly drawn in the sand. You want one guy to KTFO the other, the only question is which guy to back. These types of grudge matches are great for creating buzz in boxing. I hope this gets broadcast here in America. For the record, I'm pulling for Chisora.
I dunno - it sure looked like he didn't enjoy getting hit by Wladimir and Booth even admitted as much saying that when a big WK right hand connected in round 5 (I think) Haye started to have second thoughts about attacking. That sounds like suspect heart/chin to me. I'm not saying he is pure glass, but he's nothing like Chisora.
If the British Boxing Commission doesn't try to stop this they will lose all credibility. They banned Chisora from getting a license to fight in their country and if they just roll over it looks bad.
haye by ko/tko.. ps i wonder if hayes been juicing while he has been (retired) it will be intresting to see what he weighs come fight night..
This fight will probably under cut the hype A violent press conference, two guys who like to talk in the lead up I bet Haye is on the run for 12 rounds Chisora has no idea how to get to him Haye wins an unimpressive UD
See it that way! If haye beats chisora he actually is earning his shot at vitali! Thats what everybody always wanted on here! And then the fight with vitali would be much more interesting than it already was for me from the beginning! Even though most people wont ever give haye a chance to beat Big vitali! If haye looses then fair play to him he took a risk got a nice payday and retires! chisora can go on and fight povetkin cause klitschko wont give him another chance because of his behaviour! But my question is : Will the september fight date for vitali still be there when these two have fought? Would be nice to see vitali ringside to watch his buddy haye fight
In a short period of time, Chisora has fought Tyson Fury, Robert Helenius, Vitali Klitschko and now David Haye. The way he goes about his career is marvelous! He is the only top heavyweight who fights anyone and everyone. You have to respect the man.
