    It was a good win for Haye but Mormeck was damaged goods from the Bell fights and didn't really want to be there. It was written all over his face. Still floored Haye though. :hi:

    Kevin Johnson? This is who wants as a tune-up for a Wlad fight? Are you kidding me. This guy is nothing but a hot air ballon.

    Tye Fields knocked out a 40 year old Bruce Seldon in 2 rounds.

    Johnson was rocked by Seldon and was getting caught by punches. What does that tell you? Seldon quit from being thumbed in the eye. Report of the fight at the link on the bottom.

    "My grandmother told me that one day I'd get hit by an old man and that I'd realize that old men hit the hardest," Johnson said with a laugh. "She was right. Bruce can hit. I learned in the first round that I couldn't afford to drop my hands against him the way I could against some of the other guys I've fought."

    If that was true the fight would have taken place in the O2. Promoters hold fights where the most money can be made, and 20,000 in the O2 brings a lot more money than 4500-5000 in the Sport Palais Marcel Cerdan.

    Someone get video of the Johnson vs Seldon fight. If Johnson was rocked badly by Seldon then he will most likely lose via KO within 3.

    That is the idea: No punching power #1, # 2 a questionable chin. A perfect opponent for Haye at Heavyweight. He is at least probably better then Bonin who was a total bum with a huge padded record against horrible opponents.

    That has to do with both men being HBO fighters, HBO doesn't care about live gate.

    He is better than Bonin, and I'd pick him over Rahman now, but if his chin is bad, combined with his lack of power and lethargy and you got a nice looking win vs an undefeated big American with a top ten ranking.

    Really over Rahman even now? I seen Johnson on Showbox and I seen nothing special about him. He has a decent jab, that is about it. Johsnon holds his hands low and gets hit by punches. He kind of reminds me of Jason Estrada, a fat guy with a good jab and nothing else.

    you don't know how boxing works, the Cas would have put up milions for that fight, over 5 million I bet just to have it there and then you have the gete on top of that, look man it is all about money, if the money would been bigger to have it on moon the fight would be there.
