Comments Thread For: Haye-Chisora Takes a Hit: Povetkin-Rahman Pulled
Alexander Povetkin's WBA World Heavyweight title defence against Hasim Rahman has been withdrawn from the show at West Ham United on Saturday 14th July.
Haye & Chisora is potentially a great fight but we're in a recession so this promotion needs to do something special with its undergrad if I'm going to roll up at Upton Park. What is being spoken about as an undergrad has all the attraction of throwing out time at the local boozer.
There was a lot of talk that Mike Perez and David Price would be the main feature on the Khan vs Garcia undercard. It now appears that Seth Mitchel and Jonathan Banks will fill that slot. Perez vs Price were in negotiations and it looked sealed. What a great fight that would be. Why not have that fight as the main undercard to Haye Vs Chisora
Too son for them to bring in Price vs Perez. TBH its not a bill that needs saving. Nobody whos going on the 14th was going to see Rahman and Povetkin. The show goes on and its probably for the better as the crowds spirits wont be dampened by having to watch a dull 12 rounds of holding and hugging.
Instead they will still have their enthusiasm and it will be a better atmos for the big fight.
Its like having Pac vs Mayweather then adding Skelton vs Sprott as chief support. We can do without the hour of pain to get through before the big 1.
