    Just posted this on the general forum

    The Klitschko Haye fight will be staged at the [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Veltins-Arena Stadium in [/FONT]Gelsenkirchen, Germany.The Stadium is home to football club Schalke 04 and holds 65,000. 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

    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
     

  11. This fight aint lasting 12 rounds

    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
