I think Haye will win by knockout either in the 8th, 9th or the 10th.

Does Boxing look good in 3D?

What do you reckon?

Go 3D squire, but be careful not to fall out of your chair due to ducking and diving.

I'm absolutely convinced Haye will win this fight whether it be by KO, stoppage or decision.

I may well be proven completely wrong, but after watching the press conferences and TV shows surrounding the fhe fight, there is serious look of determination and steel in Haye's eyes which I haven't seen in Klitchsko's. He looks like he's willing to do anything to win this fight, he looks really focussed, really well prepared and both fighter and trainer seem convinced the result will go one way.

On the other hand, Klitshcko looks more focussed on trying to be nice and I'm not convinced he looks like a winner at the moment. He looks really frustrated by some of Haye's antics and I'm not sure he'll be able to fight in his comfort zone because of his emotional attachment to the fight and Haye's style. Haye has pulled another stunt claiming that he spoke to Emmanual Steward (Wlad's trainer) and that he'd like to train him after he beat Wlad. A stunt maybe, but Steward said he thinks either fighter would win within the 1st 4 rounds because it'll be explosive, he didn't say Wlad would win in 4 rounds. Does that sound like a trainer that's convinced his fighter will win?

Agree with Blobbynator, Steward hasn't been as convincing as adam booth about his fighter!

Anybody know what time the weigh in is tomorrow?

Also got Haye to win in rounds 4-6

I don't have a clue what's going to happen, I think it will be explosive but I can also see it being a bit more technical, with neither man wanting to make a mistake. Haye cannot let it go to the judges though so I'm hoping he brings the fireworks. If Haye connects with that right hand it will be good night nurse, but you can say the same the other way round. I think that Vlad's straight punches will be slipped by Haye, whereas Haye throws all the shots in the book, with power and accuracy.

Does anyone know if there will be a radio commentary for the fight? I've just been having a look for my Dad who hasn't access to Sky or the internet. I've looked at the BBC 5 live and 5live sports extra sites, but there's nothing in the schedules.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Fri Jul 01, 2011 9:55 am  

Froch, Hatton, Khan's fights, home and abroad have all been on 5 live. As this is probably bigger than all of them I would be EXTREMELY suprised were it not on 5Live, with the build up giving it big licks as well.

Re: Boxing Round 2 : Fri Jul 01, 2011 11:43 am  

I hope Haye wins. I'm not sure he will but one thing I've said from the start is that it won't last more than 5 or 6 rounds.
