David Haye vs Nikolay Valuev

[Zippy]

I predict an encounter similar to the gladiators in the life of brian where the little guy juts keeps running away

I thought about that too

Cos those big guys with huge muscles are dead weak!

Look at his KO stats.

It might be that he's just tulip at hitting them. It doesn't matter if you are powerful if you are hitting air

Also, I remember from Tyson in his early pre rape days that being small was useful as he could get right inside his guard and gave the big guy very little to aim at - because all the could hit was his gloves or the top of his head.

Well I'll be listening in if it's on the radio. Or someplace on the Internet?

Good article here about the fight.

Haye doesn't stand a chance. He won't be able to win on points, he won't last enough rounds, so he's got to go for the K.O. and seeing as Valuev is 90lb (that's roughly 6.5 stone in real money) heavier and his arms are 8 inches longer than Haye's, he's quite literally on "a hiding to nothing".

I'll go for "all over in round 2, (referee stopping the match due to Hayes' injury)".

Radio 5 Live at 21:30 tonight. Boxing is actually quite exciting to listen to on the radio. Popcorn at the ready...

Both have got very big heads (Valuev literally and Hay figuratively) and one is in for a pounding.

[AtW]

Haye is dead.

[minestrone]

Haye is dead.

Is he? I thought he was in boxing match tonight.

[Zippy]

Haye is dead.

Don't joke about it AtW - it could happen.
