This was one of the venue's at the World cup 2006, and should make it very easy for Brits to get Tickets. Who's going to this one lads!:happy This content is protected
Its good that Haye is willing to go abroad once again to become World Champion This is what old school fighters had to do Colin Jones left the shed behind my garden and travelled to Las Vegas to fight Milton McCory Robin Reid went to Italy to fight Nardellio Howard Eastman went to LA to fight Bernard Hopkins Nigel Benn went to Italy to and won the WBC title and of course Haye went to France to win WBA / WBC titles in years to come Haye will look back and be able to have a legimate legacy refusing to sign with Frank Warren has paid off as he would still be defending his WBO title down Caridff Ice rink now if he had
the last Brit fighter in Germany though was Robin Reid against Sven Ottke was that in Germany? we can only hope that this fight is not going to be 1% as corrupt If Haye gets deducted a point for landing a good fair punch on Klitshko then we know that its a fix
Problem is - its not the judges I am worried about - thats a given they are going to be biased to the home fighter Problem was is the bloody referee He didnt allow Reid to fight - so he couldnt KO Ottke He continually intreputed Reids rhythm and then just warned Reid for landing with a punch Reid was not even allowed to Punch Ottke - I'm not joking That referee was a ****ing wanker - and I pray to God that he is never allowed to ref another fight ever again If I was Reid I would have gone looking for him after the fight....................................with a baseball bat
I can't wait, according to Chef on the General Forum with seats on the pitch there looking at 75,000.
I agree thats not the point its if Haye is being not allowed to throw his shots freely he is badly handicapped liek Reid was then the fight is going to be a diaster for Haye I hope this is not the case But over in Germany with alot at stake - strange things can happen The ref here is critical You can have corrput judges - cos it aint going 12 But a corrupt referee could ruin the fight I think Haye should demand a neutral Amercian referee If its a German referee - Haye is in trouble
