Anyone else not too excited for Haye/Valuev?

I'm excited, though, i'm surprised so many people have got whipped up about it.

Many Valuev fights are notoriously boring, and there may be a chance a fair few people will come away disappointed, bored, especially members of the general public.

Still, I can't help but look forward to it.

Dunky don't worry, the Klitschkos will tear his head off.

 

How can a boxing fan, especially a British boxing fan not be excited about this fight? It has so many intriguing question marks and is hugely significant.

 

It is exciting but its nothing like November 14. I remember when Calzaghe and Jones were about to fight I was excited and nervous. Many fights I get excited with but your right this one will be the one to get revved up for on the day, some fights are mad with excitement weeks/months before. Khan/Barrera, Mayweather/Hatton, Hatton/Pac. I'm quite disappointed with Sky's countdown not much to show is there.

 

I couldn't wait until Vlad got Haye into the ring, but Haye ran.

I couldn't wait until Vitali got Haye into the ring, but Haye ran.

I do not care that much about Haye getting into the ring anymore. Will he show up?

 

farmboxer are you scottish or somet??

 

I'm an Englishman. I'm a boxing fan. We have an Englishman fighting for a heavyweight world title.

How can I be "not too excited" about this?

 

me too cant wait !!!

 

This.

 

I am way too excited.

 

I'm interested in the fight but not excatly "looking forward to it". I'll be watching the fight live, either on SBO or in a pub, but I'm honestly more looking forward to Dawson vs Johnson.

Haye has done an excellent job in selling the fight but, if it goes the way I think it will, it will be an extremely boring fight in which Haye, who surely studied Valuev vs Holyfield, will box cleverly for 12 rounds and can only lose if the judges are biased.

 

It won't be a dull fight. Anyone who thinks Haye is going to coast to a points victory is making a mistake in my book.

Haye doesn't move around as much as Holyfield. He likes to set his feet and unleash serious leather - putting himself squarely in the danger zone.

He's either stopping Valuev or getting the knocked out himself. He's just not good enough defensively to last the distance, takes far too many risks. Which it what I love about him.

 

I'm really hyped for this one. Haye to win.

Not really fair to compare it to Pac-Cotto though; that fight is just a guaranteed adrenalin rush.
