"No, he's getting too close, get him away!"

Exactly what I think happens during the fight as well.

like i said in a recent post today this fight all depended on how chisora looked on the scales and he looks pretty damn well this is going to be one hell of a fight and i got del boy winning it

Out of curiosity, what have you seen in Del Boy which convinces you he's going it win? Or how do you think he is going to win?

Nice post here

I want Chisora to get the upset, but it looks really bad for him, sorry to say.

It doesn't matter if Del has the chin of George Chuvalo. If he gets nailed enough by Haye, he will get hurt, and the ref will stop it.

His style isn't right. He comes forward right into Haye's range.

Vitali likes to fire from long-range, whereas Haye prefers medium range.

The 40 year old Vitali doesn't have the foot and hand speed of the smaller 31 year old Haye.

Vitali didn't get the KO because Del bobbed and weaved, stayed low, and got inside before old Vitali could fire his best shots.

Haye is the same height as Del. Staying low isn't going to keep him away from Haye, and his bobbing and weaving will be less effective against Haye's faster reflexes.

Chisora has to fight smart, frustrate Haye with a good defense, and then hope that Haye gets tired so he can batter him in the late rounds. Unfortunately, Haye looks in tremendous shape, and I don't see him slowing.

So is this not a sanctions professional fight? its not on boxrec?

I'm curious about this also. Seems strange as the fight is sanctioned by the Luxembourg boxing federation and there are titles on the line, albeit fringe titles. It must be because neither fighter holds a boxing licence? Still seems a little strange to ignore the fight anyway as it will lead to incorrect records. They could have mentioned the fight and inserted a caveat that it would not count towards their records due to the lack of licences.

They are ready it should be a great Fight!

The weigh in looks like I expect the fight to go; A heavyweight set to be beaten to a pulp by a blown up cruiser.

Haye weighed in what, 9lbs above the cruiser-weight limit? That should ensure his speed is at it's best and he wont lose much pop from his punches either. Haye before 6.

I heard there are some people from the BBCoE that are involved with boxrec they don't want the fight recognised at all.
