Haye/Chisora is a 10 Round Fight!

:huh I did? I never said there was a title on the line for this fight. . .

 

Everybody STFU about magnitude!

Haye is coming off a loss.

Chisora is coming off two, and three out of four.


"Oh but they're famous and this is hyped and heavily promoted and everybody's looking forward to it so it should DEFINITELY be twelve!! :|"





Get a grip. :rofl

 

Merely exceptions to the rile, and I wish they hadn't been.

 

IB when are starting the RBR Thread?

 

But say Butt, why you so against fights with no belt (or trinket, eliminator, etc.) being 12 rounds? The more potential action, the better, yes?

I agree that being a 10-rounder isn't THAT big of a deal. . . But I mean, 2 more rounds of witnessing the sweet science can only be a good thing, right?


I understand you breaking it down by separating the two issues, in that not all 12 rounders for BS trinkets are legitimate championship fights, but it just seems like you're saying 12 rounds is something that should only be reserved for those type of fights? Subsequently giving these sanctioning bodies the sole power to dictate what is a 12-rounder. . .

 

Lol I agree it's not a deal breaker like that. . .

But it could very well come down to those 2 rounds making the difference in the fight. . . It's certainly happened before, and based off the style dynamics here, has a chance to be the case here. . . I mean, sure, more than likely one guy will dictate, and impose his style in one-sided fashion, but it DEFINITELY would not have any negative effects (at least for the fans )

On paper, and overall implications for the HW division, no, it's not a "fight of significant magnitude," but on a potential entertainment-value level, and "hype-ness," this is one of the bigger fights of the year. . I mean, there's going to be like what, 30k people watching live, and likely 5-10 million people from countries all around the world tuning in. . .

 

Non-title fight, so 10 rounds looks okay to me. I think it will favor Chisora more than Haye if it goes the distance. Haye isn't the guy with the biggest workrate and he love to wait for an opening to land a big right. 10 rounds means 2 less round to get the KO. Chisora on the other hand will be putting pressure from round 1 and could put some of the first few rounds in the bank if Haye has trouble figuring him out.


That being said, Haye by KO.

 

Well, I hope the pace is higher then. Haye can't afford to throw 14 punches a round.

 

It's not going 10 rounds anyway ffs.

 

He can though, he's fighting Chisora who will plod onto each and every punch thrown by Haye.
Some of the punches Vitali landed on him ... wtf, It's as if Chisora just stood there watching them fly at his face.
Can't see Haye having too much trouble landing frequently with massive punches.

 

:good Exactly. Because it isn't that big of a deal to have a "big, hyped, main-event" be 10 rounds. There's **** all wrong with a 10 round bout, and I for one can still as easily get excited over it.

Yes, I think sanctioning bodies should have sole provenance over dictating the addition of the extra six minutes of action... because that's what those extra six minutes are explicitly for.

The rule (or more like a guideline) has been violated in the past, muddying the issue, but when you get down to it technically there is no reason for anything to go twelve rounds if there isn't at least some strap in the mix.

I think the problem most of you arguing on the other side of this have, is that you can't reconcile the idea of "some 10 round fights can be more important than a lot of 12 round fights".

It's OK for a 10 round fight to be headline a lucrative card and be "bigger", "more hyped", and more important than some bush league vacant-Euro-title 12 round fight in West Guidoville, Italy. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. The 10-rounder doesn't need to be made 12 just so people know it's more important than the Italian bout. People will know it's more important despite being fewer rounds. It's insulting everyone's intelligence to say otherwise.

As for the enjoyment of the 11th and 12th - yes, I do enjoy watching boxers dig deep after having already put in half an hour of work... but I enjoy watching them dig deep for the 11th and 12th only because of the knowledge that they're digging deep for a prize beyond a mere W. Even minor bull**** titles can improve your ranking within the sanctioning bodies (by seizing or defending them) and pave the way to a world title bout, usually by leaps and bounds over the progress a non-title bout nets in the rankings. It's just how it is.

 

Butterbean only needs 4.

 

:rofl:rofl:rofl But seriously, reported for racism. . .


I agree, and disagree. . . I just think some fights are worthy of the 12-round treatment. . . It can make the difference in a fight. . . But you're right, it's subjective on what fights, not being contested for some meaningless trinket, are deserving of the treatment; IMO, I'd rather see 'em all be 12 rounders . . .

And there are definitely plenty of fights that aren't for any kind of belt, or eliminator, etc. that are more significant for the fighter, and the fans. . . And I just hate to see these crooked ass sanctioning bodies get to be the determinative factor in what is 12 rounds, as opposed to 10 rounds. . . But it doesn't matter, because there IS DISCRETION for them to be 12-rounders, and it's on the boxers to man up and see they are 12.


Ultimately, I guess I would just PREFER 12 rounders over 10 rounders for fights. . . The more action, the better baby! But MEH, it's not going to make big difference at all in terms for me getting up for the fight. . . .

 

Ya'know who i meant!

 

I never said anything about a glass chin pal.
