Comments Thread For: David Haye Cut Over Left Eye, Fury Fight Postponed

[Anderson Silva]

Can't they just reschedule it for in 2 weeks? I do not want to go through them doing all those press conferences again to rebuild the fight hype..

I can't believe it... What is happening beyond the scenes? David Haye's cut seems to be ok, it's not that deep. He can recover from it in one week. Haye's management should postpone the fight for the 19th or 26th of october. A fight in december or 2014 would be an incredible insult to boxing fans. Haye can train with that cut.

If Haye ducks Fury, a Fury vs Klitschko/Povetkin fight in december would be huge.

Wait... I got an idea : what about a Fury vs Wilder fight next saturday?

Are you serious? The stitches need to be in the gash for 5-7 days, and then you need a further 4-6 weeks at least before the gash has healed. There's no way Haye would even be allowed to fight with a gash like that by the BBBofC

TYSON FURY IS A LUCKY MAN
Oh well....
Hopefully it will only be 2 weeks later than scheduled

Vitali Klitschko in 2009 too... like this one, it was set to be on HBO. Vitali ended up fighting Arreola instead.

I remember all of that (we ended up getting the Valuev fight instead), but Vitali-Haye was never confirmed. There were no press tours or TV dates set in stone. With Wladimir, Charr and Fury everything was going ahead. I'm sure TV networks and ticket organisers must be pissed off at him for always doing this, let alone his opponents.

Too the people saying its a Duck ! Are you ****** as Fcuk. There is no way Haye Ducks this guy after all the training hes put in . Obviously not very responsible to be sparring with no head guard, so close to fight night. But no way is he ducking this Kid, Put your hatred for haye to one side and use your Brains.

"Sparring starts for me six or seven weeks before the fight, and then I stop about ten days before the fight because I don’t want to get marked up or cut, anything like that. Six or seven days before the fight I do a lot of pad-work, and there's a lot of stuff on the focus-mitt training, bag-work, speed, timing, technique stuff. All the hard graft, all the hard stuff, should have been done by now, so I’m sort of going through the motions, slowly tapering down for the fight" - Mr David Haye

Haye still wont have beaten anybody better than old Mormeck. Shocking.

[mannyman]

Was he wearing no head gear? What a mug

[Razor Ramon]

lol.... why duck a huge payday for fighting a bum?

It's a huge payday dependant on ppv success. Everyone with half a brain has noticed the correlation between fights that weren't selling and being called off due to "injuries" in training. I haven't noticed any buzz among the general public for this fight, maybe early signs were it'd lose it's arse financially so some bull**** to call it off was cooked up. Or maybe it's a genuine injury, there's room to speculate

[iniduoh]

What is wrong with this guy sparring without headgear.
