A couple of things about my last opponent....

ding is it true you knocked out jeff lacy?

 

Ambien's ding. Find a doctor to prescribe you ambien's and your sleep patterns will improve drastically. I'm an insomniac myself, and after years of fighting it on my own, I finally went the prescription route.

Especially when you fight for a living, you gotta get your z's man.

Congratulations on the victory, I think I woke up my entire block when that final punch landed. Easily the KO of the Year so far.

 

Good win and congrats!! Glad to see you pull it out, I was worried for a minute as the relative mid-round inactivity threatened to get you on points. Hope to see you line up bigger fights and payday's:good

Refreshing to hear a fighter as real, honest, and open as you. Best of luck:yep

 

may be a bit late, but Cuzzin E congratulates you on a great win. Lebanon is proud

 

As you are now, do you think you could beat the WBC/WBA Champ ?

And congratulations for your win.

 

I'd call it a 50-50 fight.

Povetkin is naturally the more intelligent and polished fighter. He fights smarter and is technically more correct.

Haye is perhaps the more talented and dynamic. Hayes assets in height and reach coupled with his speed to power ratio presents a devastating package. This is before the skill is thrown in. Haye has however clearly shown he has learnt from his experience and fights a much smarter fight.

At this point I think Haye has the experience edge. Haye has had Abdoul, Fragemoni and Bonin come to him with that orthodox text book hands up approach. There you see the two ways Haye will beat Povetkin. He'll catch him early, he'll catch him late and if power doesn't come through he'll be leading on the cards.

Haye is a boxer-puncher. He'll go into half guard, pick you off with that jab, set up power shots and break you down with body shots. Now Haye has heat on all his punches EVEN his jab! Bonin couldn't take it, Fragemoni unbelievably could but only for so long. The shots that Italian took to head and body are unbelievable.

I'm not sure on the intangiables. Can Povetkin take Hayes shot? Haye has already displayed phenomonal power from early to late in the fight. Povetkin hasn't shown those sort of whiskers. Hayes power is a neutraliser for the entire bout.

Povetkin hasn't shown us anything scintillating yet. He doesn't look particularly fast, strong or powerful. Then again, others have appeared this way but gone far i.e. Juan Diaz. That is because this is the pros. I think Povetkin is already showing the sort of moves and approach to bode well in the pros.

Stylistically it's a good boxer v brawler. Haye is continously improving and learning from his experience. His workrate over the course of a fight looks better and better. Note the impressive improvement from the Johansson fight to the Fragemoni fight. This leads me to believe by the time he fights Povetkin he'll be something to behold.

I also haven't included the fact this fight would be at heavy where Haye would weigh an impressive 215 to 220! Haye has said time and time again he struggles to make weight. He has to cut one stone and drains himself quite a bit. At 200 he considers himself 70% of the fighter he is at heavy. He says his speed and reflexes aren't as sharp as he'd like them to be. See him say all of this in the interviews after Fragemoni and Bonin.

Haye as a fresh fighter at heavy takes the win via ko or UD. Especially if he comes past Mormeck. Haye has the edge in talent and versatility. I think over 12 it would be telling and that is if Povetkin even survives the first round. That is the sort of power Haye has.

Haye used to rush **** like Wlad did but even now that he sits back like Wlad the kos are still coming because they are simply devastating punchers. Put Haye in Winning gloves and he's still ringing bells.

Don't be suprised if Povetkin drums out a methodical consistent accumulative attack where workrate sees him take the W!

 

no he is not me and never will be.

 

ding you should watch some miguel cotto fights and get a few pointers on body shots, you have heavy hands you can do alot with good body shots.

 

what does a persons sexual orientation have to do with winning a fight??

and i believe achilles knows more than you since he has been in the ring and is currently training fighters.

 

Move up and call out Klitschko.

 

Does anyone from the DC area remember a friend of mine..?

He was called Jerry Ballard, he boxed at Heavyweight for Don King .
I loved Jerry he was a straight talking man who made enemies on occasion.

I spent a lot of time with him in Vegas when he featured on some high profile shows.. Jerry faced a cat called Tywon Taylor once on the Moorer v Holy2 card in Nevada.. He just warred with Taylor and eventually stopped the guy wrecklessly, I last spent time with him in Atlanta Ga before he got beat by Ruiz on the Holy v Bean card at the Ga Dome..

Jerry passed a few years ago tragically, he was fun to be with but lived in the fast lane..

anyone who knew him will know what i am talkin about..

 

ding fight malik scott i heard he moved down

 

Hey Ding, what do you think of WBO champ Enzo Maccarinelli? He certainly hits hard and I think you and him could have a great war. I'd certainly love to see you fight over here in the UK and I think you could take Enzo out as your power is frickin' awesome :bbb

So what do you think, WBO Cruiserweight Championship sound good to you Ding?
