Haye and Valuev

[Tooting Gull]

I don't see how Haye can win this fight against that lump.

Glenn McCrory's great line on Sky: "I've heard that when Valuev goes hunting, bears surrender."

I'm almost tempted to shell out for this one.

Saw him last night for the first time on the news. The guy is maHOOOOsive, he's got a head like an Easter Island statue. The ONLY thing Haye will have going for him is speed, but I just can't see how he'll get close enough to this bloke.

I might see if I can rustle up a few mates and split the cost for this one. Or find out if my locals got a lock-in. Its not going to be silly-bugger hours is it ?

Valuev is slow though innit.

Ditto. That Valuev bloke is huge. His fists are the size of Haye's head. I cannot see how Haye can even reach him let alone win the fight.

It's in Germany so it will fall in normal pub hours.

actual fight starts at 10

 

[Tooting Gull]

Haye is odds-on, amazingly - around 4-6. Or to put it another way, the same price as Steve Coppell was for two days.

I couldn't believe that. Surely Valuev must be worth a punt if he's long?

 

[Easy 10]

Long ?
I bet he's HUGE

 

[Hatterlovesbrighton]

You can get evens on it going to points. That seems like pretty good value.

 

[Man of Harveys]

Long ?
I bet he's HUGE

Although wouldn't it be BRILLIANT if he wasn't? And it was like a malformed cashew?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

he's got a head like an Easter Island statue.QUOTE]

...with a funny angled forehead. Probably from years of banging it on door-frames.

 

[Tooting Gull]

There must be an acting career for him afterwards as an uber-bouncer or something. He looks like that Barry the Baptist bloke from Lock Stock.

 

[Safe.]

Haye will KO Valuev in the 8th or 9th round.

 

[Billy the Fish]

As big as Valuev is, he's not regarded as a big puncher. Getting inside his jab will be the problem for haye

 

[Pavilionaire]

This fight is like a Victorian freak show spectacle, and I'm looking forward to it!

agreed.

 

[Don Quixote]

Valuev is a bum. Haye is class. You do the maths and decide.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

I know f*** all about boxing but I dont think I need to, neither does the Russian fella. One swipe will surely floor Haye? Someone told me Haye has not fought at this weight before. Is this true?

 

[Trigger]

Weigh in coming up on SSN any minute now.

Haye will need a KO, a challenger NEVER wins in Germany even if he outscores the champion 120-108, the judges always seem to see it the champions way, especially if the champion has German connections like Valuev!
