Haye vs Klitschko.

Koisports smells a bit fishy to me.

Haye must be the strong favourite.But its not going to be all onesided .Haye may be more skillfull ,faster and be able to use a wider range of punches but Klitschko is heavier , longer reach and has improved his defence.

The opposite actually, Klitscho(?) has more weight and a greater reach..and a bigger punch...but has a bit of a glass chin and is a bit slower.

I back the Brit.

No need to carp on about it!

I think the fight will be on about 10.30 depending on how long the undercard events take.

I've read 10pm for the fight and the radio coverage on 5live starts at quarter to ten but accountantpete could just as easily be right.

Loving watching the clips of Haye and Valuev....shows real class against the giant.
Not sure I like the way he has publicised this fight, seems like a bit of a nasty arrogant git...but that's boxing I guess...but he well out boxed the giant.

10 pm BST.

That's the first time I've heard anyone say David Haye is the favourite! Win on points? - not a chance. The referee tonight has presided over 4 Klitchko wins before. It's been said he overlooks the style of "cheating" Klitchko employs, ie. using his weight to lean on his opponent, and so tiring them out. And boxing judges are notorious for favouring the local talent.

So Haye has to knock out, or stop, a much bigger man.

Also shown on Viasat Sport.


Edit: I was writing on my phone, and made a couple of mistakes. Fixed.

Now is a good time to start watching...the ring is lit and introductions are being made.

10pm it is after all.

It would be, can't get the link to work!

Radio it is then. Sat out with fire and Old Peculier (in bottles, not a pet name).

Or is it 10 past 10!

More psychobollox from Haye? I'd be bobbing it too!

Is Haye retiring after this no matter what happens?

Not if he has the chance of doing the other klitchko brother before Haye hits his next birthday (which is the retire date). I guess that depends on him winning this one.

Dammit, stream cut off.

 

[Stephenite]

He says he's retiring at 30. We can take that to mean the day before he's 31. Or if he loses tonight. Imo

Pure mindgames from Haye.

Klitchko looked as cool as ice as he walked to the ring
