Shame Haye didn't show this sort of fight when he was last in the ring......

I talked to Frank Maloney about the incident earlier and he thinks they should both be banned for life! Bit harsh in my opinion!

These sort of things are almost always staged, lets face it boxing needs the publicity.

Ha ha of course he does, especially the Warren fighter, good ole little Franky. Any truth to the rumours that he was looking to sell his stable and get out of the game Sledge.

This just in!!

Klitchko's (I forget which) next fight is to be against a smaller, lighter, inferior opponant with little heavyweight experience. And the venue? Why, Germany of course!

Shocker!

How these two cretins can be continually be allowed to hand pick opponants that will cause them no considerable bother whatsoever is beyond me. 
What I wouldn't give to see them (either one of them) take a Lennox Lewis style beating.

Anyone going to see Ricky Burns take on Paulus Moses at Braehead Arena on Saturday night? I'm looking forward to it !

Forgot about the Burns fight. Harrumph.

I see from the beeb it was a points win. He's looking to get paid in Yankdom, did he do enough to interest those over there who so rarely look beyond their shores?

Moses caused more problems than a man at his level should have for a so called world champion.
Burns was, as ever, technically tight and killed him with the jab.
But it's hardly exciting to watch, and they were talking more about a Mitchell fight than crossing the Atlantic for one of the top 4 or 5 at that weight.
To be fair to Billy, he was saying Burns is too good for the other Brits so let see if he's got the courage to go stateside.

When's the Amir Khan rematch?

So Warren is putting on Haye vs Chisora, as sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Association. Seriously has it come to this. Maybe its the rose-tinted glasses looking back at the halcyon days, but I remember when even boxing, as dodgy as its reputation has always been, had some final vestige of respect.

But this is probably just part one of a two part eliminator. Once Haye has got rid of Del-Boy, he'll be calling out Tyson Fury and/or David Price. I imagine that they'll fight towards the end of the year, if not then certainly next year.

If Haye's back on the scene, the winner of Price/Fury will have to take him on before facing off against one of the Klitchkos - because that will legitimise their challenge, I reckon. Let's face it - Haye might not have set the world on fire with the toe incident, but he got through the fight which is more than most can say. He's a good fighter, but he's (obviously) not a heavyweight and I think that Price OR Fury could beat him due to their physical advantages (as long as they don't get macho and trade with him because that's a road to getting knocked out).

I think that Price/Fury is an interesting match up, a proper pick 'em.

I can't see Haye or Chisora fighting Fury or Price, neither Price or Fury have earnt it yet.

For me this is stuck on where this goes next, you only need look to who is putting on this fight, Sauerland and Box Nation.
The winner fights the winner of the undercard, followed by another shot at a Klitschko, and if, as they hope, the winner is Haye, Chisora will be lined up against Helenius.
Price is tied into SKY, and Fury is with Hennessy on Five, which is one of the reasons they aren't fighting each other, but neither Haye nor Chisora will fight either of them with their next 3-4 fights. Frank will be keeping Chisora on Box nation for he next set of fights so that's Fury/Price out of the picture, and I can't see Haye losing and fighting either of them. He'll just quit.
Chisora if he loses will be put against Helenuis before the likes of Povetkin and then rematches galore.
This is all part of a longer term 4-5 fight strategy from Sauerland, they are going to cash in big from the fallout from this fight, which is why its worth putting it on.

Price will take Fury out of the picture anyway as soon as Fury grows a pair, and I can see Fury will be end up stepping in against someone like The A Force come next year in a "big domestic showdown on Five".

Back to Haye Chisora, I think Haye wins on points with the plan to pick up Povetkins title moving onto Vlad next summer when he's past it.

I just want to see the undercard now.

You mean two fighters who are unbeaten havent earned a shot at Chisora (who has already been beaten by Fury) or Haye who has been an embarassment at heavyweight and then quit after losing due to a sore toe.

Fury for all of his faults, has at least been active. Price also.

Chisora has lost 3 of his last 4 and you think he should be higher up the pecking order than P or F? Crazy!

This fight should never be taking place and anyone who supports it is an hypocrite in my eyes. Fans bleat on about corruption and poor decisions. This fight is only taking place due to the money men greasing the right palms and the Luxembourg boxing council being as easy as a girl from Liverpool/ Manchester/ Newcastle/ Essex (please delete as appropriate).

To me it seems people don't mind corruption if it makes interesting fights.

Having said all that, I hope Chisora permanently retires Haye.
