BOXING - Haye VS Klitschko IS ON!!!!!

Looks like Britian could have a new World Heavyweight Champ on the way. Think Haye is just to quick and smart for Vlad. He needs to be very cautious as his chin hasnt been truely tested at heavyweight. But still think he has too much for vlad. 5th round ko for Haye I'll go with.

To be fair Vitali Klitschko is a great boxer, Lennox Lewis was last great heavyweight.

I think Klitschko wants to go into the movies after his career is over, the way his protects himself he just completely smothers everything, Haye actually called VK a businessman in his presence when he asked him for the fight after taking out Monte Barrett :shock:

I know the art of boxing is about hitting without bein hit but his last fight was an absolute shocker, so he's either protecting his looks or he's worried about his ability to take a punch from invariably smaller fighters!

His fights are more like an event for movie stars to have an excuse for a night out than genuine entertainment for the average punter so I certainly hope that Haye gets near him cos he is quick and powerful and the division is in dire need of someone like The Hayemaker to breathe some life back in to it!

Vegas fight nites haven't been worth stayin up 'til 4 in the mornin for, for a long long time so there's more than just national pride ridin on the result!

The Klitschko brother arse definatly a business. And your spot on Belfast a Haye win would be a great thing not only for britain but the heavyweight division. But dont think Haye will be looking to get in tight on vlad, he should stand back and pick his punches, as this is what he does best, and he is quicker than vlad so this is the big advantage.

What Haye must do is KEEP HIS HANDS UP, he often drops his left hand which is just a stupid thing to do, especially at heavyweight. If he wins he has the real big one against Vitali, that one..who knows?

Have to say though Belfast there have been many great vegas fight nights in the last year, just not a heavyweight. The middleweight and lightweight divisions at the moment are great due to the fact that there is so many great fighter at the world class level, and they are very open.

Also its the era of the "super-fight" so weight division titles especially in the lower weight catagories become irrelevant. The Ring Magazine Belts have more significance than any other at the moment. Unless you are undisputed champ the belts and organisations arent a massive deal.

Of course to have any world title means you are a world champ, but due to the amount of boxing organisations and belts people get confused and lose intrest.

Any way lets hope Hayemaker beat the two brothers, leaving them to concentrate on their images :wink:
