David 'The Hayemaker' Haye vs Wladimir Klitschko

**scuderiafan** · 30th June 2011, 22:34

Cannot wait for this fight. for the first time in ages, i can finally say that i dont know who will win this Heavyweight bout. the division has been tame so far (think the constant Valencia of boxing

) compared to the Welterweight division.

Haye has said some many things, but i will still be supporting him, because im British, and also since Wladimir wont fight Vitali, we may see Haye take on the other brother if he wins.

biggest fight since Lewis vs Tyson imo, so i think this deserves a thread of itsx own to follow. unfortunately, £15 for me is a little too much, so i will try to find good streams. i'll then post them aswell.

so, any boxing fans? who do you guys think will win this? who do you want to?

Now THIS is a sport they should let women enter

Blimey, Vitali looks big.

here is the final press conference, with Haye wearing the t-shirt that has caused a lot of controversy.

I'll be rooting for Wlad

thanks

**scuderiafan** · 1st July 2011, 20:35

The weigh in!

Wlad may be at home, but Hayes fans wont make it look that way

cant wait!

now ive followed Hayes career since his cruiserweight days, and he loooks in the best shape i have seen him, mentally and physically. i think he needed all this cutting head off t shirts to get himself phsyched up, and he looks calm, and one that enjoys the big occasion.

But, Wladimir has lost a little, but he looks focussed aswell.

this is far too close to call

My prediction? they both have suspect chins, so maybe there will be more than one knockdown?

not long to go now!

the last 2 stream, i dont know about, but this one works for sure.

you need sopcast, though.

it's an open air arena?

yeah, Hamburgs football stadium. the ring will be fine, just the execs in the front row seats will get wet

damn that was a masterclass by wlad. haye just could not hold off that jab.

well there goes my dream of the HW division being exciting again.

**scuderiafan** · 3rd July 2011, 19:01

looks like a rematch MAY happen, but only if Haye can get himself together, and show he is worthy enough to do it.

god, i cant help but respect Wladimir, though. he may be a little boring, but he is an expert, and a perfectionist, and i have huge respect for his conduct.

but i cant help but feeling that if Haye gone a little differently about the fight, it may have turned out differently.

anyways, enough of this, time for Welterweights and better boxing.

**Ferrarichamp** · 3rd July 2011, 20:57

interesting how Wlad is 5 yrs older than Haye. Surely Wlad will retire in the not too distant future? I read that Haye wants to retire this year already. A rematch seems unlikely to me.

i think if Haye won, he would have tried to get Vitali before his B'day, then afetr fighting him, he would have retired.

like you say, Wlad is 5 years older, so haye still has tim to make amends, and hopefully next time spend less time trash talking.
