    Yeah, could be right. If Haye fights in July, it will be first week, suppose it would be back on Boxnation?

    Entirely my point about Hearn and Frank.

    Please show me the constant threads berating Sky?

    Haye undercard?

    Booth said that was lazy journalism...

    I think it's quite close Stieglitz punches hard enough to trouble groves, if he come out of the blocks at groves like that he would struggle. Groves is a pressure fighter with a pretty sloppy defence would you not agree? I think it's a pretty even fight to be honest

    Its still affecting objectivity though. Some people can't seem to think straight where Hearn and VVarren is concerned.

    Booth was talking about the article that came out recently saying Haye would fight in June, he said that was wrong. But, there's a lot of speculation that he will fight in July, so the inaccuracy appears to be the date? We will know one way or the other in the next 10 days....

    Sky are the only people that can afford Haye.

    I think Groves is trying to set himself up as a mini-David Haye ambush fighter rather than a pressure fighter. I think its all a bit contrived at times but I've seen some evidence that they've polished him against Johnson and the chap he fought in America.

    Haye will be looking for PPV and Sky wont do it, especially if he isnt fighting Vitali.

    You think Skys boxing budget is £2million a month?

    He got a little unlucky tonight, not very often you see an eye swell up like that so quickly especially from a good but not spectacular shot. He started slow, but then Abraham always starts slow. He couldn't see a thing coming from that side and was being picked off. However it's the pain game, and things like that are an occupational hazard. If you let somebody punch you on the face, swollen eyes might happen.

    However, his style sees him involved in tough fights, he's 33yrs old, not particularly tall but fairly heavy set. His style combined with his physical build isn't suited to 168lbs, yet he cannot get back down to 160lbs.

    It's hard to see what future Abraham has, his natural build combined with a fair few tough fights over the years is catching up.
