Johnson/Dawson because some ****** made Haye-Valuev ppv and not espn or some lower ass boxing channel for free in the states. Haye and Valuev are nobodies in America and they have the nerves to make it a ppv event. -

I think so, and here’s why: Valuev is being overlooked for good reason; in the past he’s put in lackluster performance after lackluster persformance, basically just ‘goes through the motions’ and does just enough to win. He lacks the ‘killer instinct’ to throw the big punches and to go for the KO…
However, this fight is different. I think he’s been genuinely offended by David Haye’s disrespectful comments/insults and will try to go out there and KO Haye. How did I come to this conclusion? Valuev has stated that he’ll KO Haye for his disrespectful behavior; Valuev has never made a statement like this before. Also, Valuev has hired a new trainer specifically to work on offensive…
I’ve begrudged-ly watched Valuev fight for the past three years and I’ve always thought to myself- if he would just open up and let his hands go a little more often, he’d be a much more effective fighter and he may KO more of his opponents. I think we’ll see a different Nicolay Valuev on Saturday; we’re going to see a guy who’s fighting with passion and fire in his eyes. We’re going to see him fight with some purpose, and we’re going to see him go after Haye like never before….Comment

Haye-Valuev, because it's a more meaningful fight and in boxing's most important division.
The undercard is excellent, with several interesting fights:
Pulev vs. Olouken amazingly tough matchmaking in Pulev's third pro fight
Helenius vs. *****ko biggest test yet for heavyweigh prospect Helenius
Frenkel vs. Davis the most exciting young cruiserweight in Europe vs. a former world titleholder
Lyakhovich-Bates a former heavyweight titleholder finally returns
Ruiz-Serin I'd love to see an upset in this one!Comment
