David Haye to fight Glenn Kelly

[HayeFan]

Haye's all set to fight Kelly on the undercard of Clinton Woods vs Rico Hoye.

Most outside of the UK wont have heard of David Haye, but you soon will. This kid is a phenomenal fighter.

I think the BBC are running the fight, so for those of you in the UK, check it out this Saturday. For those of you unfamiliar with Haye, I urge you to seek out some footage, I'm sure someone on Boxing *******s will upload the fight.

Haye is a superstar in the making, take heed.

I think its a bit early to call him a superstar in the making, the way he gassed so quickly against Thompson was suprising. That was a big step up from the competition he was facing before the fight, Thompson is a top 5 Cruiser after all. He still has the talent to go far, will be interesting to see how he deals with Kelly.

Absolutely. I'm sure Thompson wont be the last to beat him either.

Haye has question marks over both his chin AND stamina.

That's all part of his charm as a fighter. He has unreal ability with power to die for.

Kelly is going to get KTFO in spectacular fashion. I promise you.

I never knew he was an Aussie..
Is it me or is the light-heavyweight division in even worse shape after the Roy Jones Jr. era.

I'll definitely be interested to see this... apparently Haye goes in for some new age schtick instead of roadwork for his training. This wasn't evident at all in his pre-Thompson bouts as they never went beyond a couple of rounds. But he's a bright guy.

But the difference now is that it is competitive and there are fights everyone wants to see. His trainer is Jeff Fenech, which is what gives it away.

Simply put, He ran out of steam.

It was a one sided beating for 3 rounds as Haye threw everything but the kitchen sink at Thompson in an attempt to give the crowd their money's worth. Thompson's legs were buckling with every shot landed, somehow he survived. Previous experience in tight spots served him well. In the commentators eyes, the fight was on the verge of being stopped due to the massive amount of punishment Thompson had taken.

By the fifth round the tables had turned. Haye was staggering around the ring, mouth agape. He had given his all in the vain hope that his power would see him through. It wasn't a bad stoppage really, the corner threw the towel in as soon as they saw what had happened, they knew Haye's tank was empty and they didn't want to ruin his young career by allowing him to take a beating that he was helpless to defend against.

In fact, The ending came as such a surprise to Thompson that he commented to Haye whilst watching a replay, that he thought Haye was 'kidding him on' before the stoppage.
