The over-rating of David Haye continues, one year on from toe gate. Look, it's probably going to be Haye running away all night, Chisora plodding in. Haye scoring with some counters, Chisora scoring with jabs coming forward and some punches off the jab. Mostly a lot of running and chasing, punches hitting thin air. 12 rounds of that, and a controversial decision. Talk of a rematch. They both go home rich and happy.
When has Haye ever shown a jab at heavyweight ? It's Haye who eats the jabs. His punch out-put is pathetic, he's not going to be making anyone "eat punches all night" ! I think people need to start watching his fights rather than listening to his bull****. He hardly throws a punch. He's a mediocre finisher. He runs backwards all night. I can't believe people are repeating the same Haye myth that was around last year. I thought his effort against Wlad would have stopped that - (and I he actually did better than I had expected him to against Wlad !)
People seem to ignore these facts that Haye's whole heavyweight resume is based on fights against OLD, washed-up, mediocre opponents. They talk about Ruiz as if he was still relevant. They pretend Haye's victory against Valuev was something special (I saw Chagaev, Ruiz - first fight, Larry Donald and totally shot Holyfield do similar against a younger Valuev !). Now some are putting Harrison on a par with Chisora ! WTF ? Haye's heavyweight resume is ****. As shitty as Chisora's. He's never faced a young 'live' heavyweight of any description. Now, I'm not saying Chisora wins. I don't know. But where all this over-rating of Haye comes from, I don't know.
:good But you forgot the "but this time he will do better, because he's potentionally the best and most exciting heavyweight out there" part. This time he will do better! :bart
Haye on points, rocking Chisora several times- In more detail i see something like 9 rounds to 3 or around that. Winner should fight for Vitali in Sept for the WBC
I see this going about 8 rounds. Chisora is made for Haye and Haye will want to win and win in style to set up a mega payday with Vitali.
None that I can think of. :good But then how many top heavyweights has Haye stopped ? Between 0 and 1, depending on whether a washed-up Ruiz should be viewed as a top fighter.
I think there is a very good chance of Haye ending it early, inside the 1st 5 or 6 rounds. His significant speed advantage should mean he'll walk Chisora onto a few right hands. Haye is a sloppy finisher but I can see Del taking a lot of damage coming forwards in a straight line, it isnt a recipe for success against a faster, rangier & more explosive puncher.
