Comments Thread For: Haye-Chisora/Khan-Garcia: The Pre-Weekend Report Card

[Dr_Calvin]

The errors were caught and I submitted requests to fix. Just simple human error and rush work.

Fair enough, can you explain in boxing terms how you think Chisora will stop Haye?

[crold1]

If Haye goes 'toe to toe' something shall get broken.

I think Haye will look to potshot but the constant pressure will force him increasingly to trade. I think Chisora wins exchanges as the rounds wears on and uses his size to grind Haye down. I don't think the comparison between Ward and Froch is apt because Haye isn't close to being that good a boxer. I also don't think he has the heart to get in a real fight at this point and that Chisora is a harder man.

I'm hoping for one of those rare double knock outs!

You mention that Haye nailed chisora at the press conference in Munich but the punches had no effect?? Really?? You have seen the footage right?
The close up of Haye landing a short jab and then a massive right hand and Chisoras legs basically disappearing from underneath him?
I think those punches had an effect and I think Hayes punches tonight will have a very similar effect

Haye is nowhere near the boxer Ward is, especially on the inside. If haye let's his hands go, his defense is mediocre at best. His defense is pretty good when he's using his legs and flicking his jab and/or lead rights. If chisora can close the distance and force haye to fight on the inside, chisora could ko haye. Ha ye's chin is a bit below average for a hw. Froch's problem was that he was an inferior boxer on both the inside and outside. Chisora, on the other hand, has a distinct advantage inside.

Hard to read too much into what transpired at a press conf, in a throng of people, where one guy just got beaten up pretty good over the course of 12 rounds while the other guy watched. Chisora took some damn good shots from helenius, who may not be a great boxer but has real power, and weathered it well. Helenius probably hits harder than haye. Don't confuse haye's speed-power combination as being raw power. It isn't. He is dangerous as a puncher because he has plus power combined with blinding speed. In terms of pure power, helenius almost certainly tops him.

Props to Dr. Calvin. Haye just nuked him. Nice performance.
