Not long now gentlemen, this is either going to be epic or KO in the first round fingers crossed it lasts a while as I want my moneys worth lol.

Saw an amazing image of these to standing next to each other and Haye is going to have to punch upwards to land one on his opponent. His reach must be massive.

Nix · 29 Oct 2009 at 18:50

That bloke is huge! :eek:

Moogman · 29 Oct 2009 at 18:55

So looking forward to this fight. He is a beast.

Tummy · 29 Oct 2009 at 18:59

Looking forward to this

Don't watch much boxing! but I saw this on soccer AM and just thought I've gotta see this! I've seen the Russian fight before, he's a beast :|

All I'll say is - good luck to David

7" reach disadvantage and probably knocking on for a 5 stone weight disadvantage at a guess suggests that the Hayemaker has his work cut out for him. I'm supposing his best hope will be speed here and just trying to avoid most of Valuev's punches as Valuev hasn't looked very quick the couple of times I've seen him fight.

I've seen him once and he looked like he had lead arms.

If Haye can hit him lots and keep moving he will done in 3 rounds.

If he doesn't and he lands a few on Haye, he's ****ed

Surely Haye will dance around and the giant will tire quickly?

You forget that they will be studying each others tactics in the ring like hawks, so its a safe bet the Russian expects that from Haye

I didn't forget that. Expecting it and dealing with it are two different things.

kefkef · 29 Oct 2009 at 22:54

saw valuev fight a few times. Haye needs to keep active and keep scoring. Cant see him knocking valuev out or even getting close. I'd be looking at haye trying to keep the fight going as long as possible, possibly even trying or the decision at the distance

Thats why they spar with fighers of similar strengths and weaknesses to there opponents.

Cool so if I spar with David Haye I will be able to beat him because I know what to expect? What I meant was literally just that I believe that David Haye's pace will get the better of Hagrid.

Or maybe Haye will get caught and knocked on his arse in the first.

Haven't looked forward to a Fight for a long long time but this has peaked my interest... Can't wait for it now infact...

Jonny L · 29 Oct 2009 at 23:23

Can't wait for this, deffinitely gonna get down the pub and watch. I wanna see Haye get in some heavy body shots and wind this giant. He's got no chance of knocking him out, but I'll be gutted if he just resorts to tappy tappy point grabbing.

Grumps82 · 29 Oct 2009 at 23:25

I wont be watching it, but i will certainly keep an eye out for who won.

Rotty · 29 Oct 2009 at 23:46
