[the rev leeroy brown]

cant wait for this fight!!!

hopefully, Haye will knock him out and then have one more fight against Vitali.

The heavyweight boxing world will be a **** boring place again without him IF he defo retires this year.

Will this be on streams? Myp2p etc?

That was the ****test "scuffle" ever. Because it wasn't kicking off someone from one camp leans towards the other who doesn't seem to mind to much then they get pulled apart. I hope there is more drama for the actual event

Who can stare the longest without blinking, which at first i thought Haye was winning hands down, looked like Klitch would'nt even look at him....then boom....he's in there with a point AND stare combo, Haye never had a chance, from then on his mouth was going and he was'nt even trying not to blink.

I reckon as far as the fight is concerned, there's more chance of Haye catching Klitchco than the other way round, but if Klitchco gets behind his jab and it works as a tactic (not sure it will tbh) then Haye could be in trouble, but i have a feeling Haye will catch him with a good one in the first five rounds and win by a KO, if he does'nt do that, then i fancy the Bigger man.

Just go to pub to watch it?

I'm in f*cking London this weekend. Is it likely to be on many places? Missing the start of the Copa America too.


I predict a late Klitschko KO. I think Haye will have to go for it in the last few rounds and can see him getting caught when he does.

If Haye had plans to continue on and defend the titles, then I probably would want him to win, but seeing as he’s retiring soon regardless, I think it will be funnier just to see him lose.

[Shaggy]

It's tough to call but I'm gonna go for a Haye TKO in the 10th.

Predictions for the fight, from the BBC website. I see James DeGale is backing Klitschko, not that he is bitter or anything.

If Haye does win, I hope he gives Fury a doing before he retires. He's a pretty annoying fella.

Thanks for putting it mildly.

My pleasure

Are you sure you're not confusing this fight with another one? Maybe bookies had it as 50/50 but almost every poll, forum and boxing magazine (which asked experts their predictions) I read had at least 70+% saying Haye would win by TKO.

Perhaps i am getting a little mixed up with regards to whom backed Haye / Enzo to win. The fight however was on paper far closer than most people remember. Enzo, at that stage in his career, was on a tear. Admittedly it was Afro and Euro bums he was beating but he'd built up a formidable records.

4th time - once against Toney and twice against Golota. Again, it was his last fight and the end of career.

Nah it was only Ruiz second T/KO of his career. Check out his record on Boxrec. The other was David Tua who almost took his head off in the first few seconds of their fight.

I'm not sure what you're saying - are you agreeing it was indefensible or saying it's horse **** I'm claiming it was?

Sorry should have made myself clearer. Haye vs Harrison was utter horse****e. Haye and all those who surround and advise him should be ashamed of themselves for taking that fight.

You seem to miss the point I'm making and seem more angry at the fact that I want Haye to lose. I'm not saying Haye is rubbish fighter, far from it hence me predicting Haye winning by UD although as of late I actually think Haye will win by TKO. I was basically saying that while it's true Wlad is in for a tough fight as he hasn't faced anyone as good as Haye for a while - Haye is in for a tough fight too.

I'm honestly not angry at anyone wanting Haye to lose or thinking that Haye will loose.

Just a little on my high horse regarding your slightly revisionist comments regarding Haye's last 5 opponents. You could, if you want, play that game with pretty much any boxer on the planet.

For what it's worth i think Haye will get beat. Wlad will get his jab going early and will keep Haye at bay. Wlad is big but he's a comparatively nimble guy for his size. Haye's only real chance is to land early with a bomb otherwise it'll be jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab jab all night long.

In order for Haye to beat Wlad in Germany by a UD he'll have to knock Wlad down in two or three seperate rounds and then win every other round in the fight. Challengers don't get decisions against 'home' fighters in German.

^ The reason I was making the point (and why I presume people want Haye to lose) is due to the numerous press conferences where Haye has slagged off Wlad's opponents which seems hypocritical (re: Harrison) - if Haye had a recent list like Pacman/Froch then fair enough. Also, it's Haye and his team's conduct over the past couple of years: lying about deals/contact with Boente - why Stanford Bridge didn't go ahead, not bothering to provide any medical certificate for Haye's back injury, and the whole head decapitation.

Haye and Booth have spent the last 2 years working themselves into a position whereby he can fight both of the Klitschkos on their own terms.

The first couple of contracts drawn up between Haye and the Klitschkos involved various rematches and options and yet more rematches with the Klitchkos.

The first fight was canned because Setanta were about to go bust. Haye purse for that fight was coming solely from Setanta. Given what happened to Setanta it's probably a wise move he pulled out as there's a very good chance he wouldn't have seen a penny of the purse given Setanta's subsequent collapse.

Has anyone else seen this? This was back when Haye was a cruiserweight, He confronts him at a charity press conference, its excellent

I don't get why Haye keeps pressing the fighting bums thing with Klitchco, he's pretty much done the same himself, so it's daft, the heavier weight divisions have been devoid of great talent, so apart from each other they had to fight who they had to fight, but BOTH fighters are gulity of fighting bums.

I really fancy Haye for this though, so long as he keeps his word and really go's for Klitchco, makes it a fast moving affair, i reckon he'll have him KO'd by the 6th/7th round.

oh dear
