Thread: Valuev & Haye just weighed in...

Just watched the weigh in on Sky Sports News.

Haye weighed in first at 16 stone 6 lbs (230 lbs) and Valuev weighed in at 22 stone 6 lbs (314 lbs)

Not sure without checking but I think that's the heaviest Haye has ever fought at, I hope he hasn't lost any of his speed. He did look in tremendous shape though, links and pics to follow if I can find em.....

Haye actually weighed in 1 lb heavier at 231lbs against Bonin...

Haye weighed 217lbs for Bonin 15stone 7lbs

Glad it's 15st 8lbs and not 16st 6lbs.

Thought for a minute they were going for a Dempsey-Willard job literally

No he did weigh in at 16 stone 6 lbs, it was against Bonin he weight 15 st 8lbs. I misunderstood how to interpret Boxrec and wrongly assumed Haye weighed in at 231 for that fight...

So Haye weighing in at 230 is his career high, by a long shot!! Not sure what to make of that

EDIT: completely ignore me, I'm a blind muppet!! reoprts on the internet are saying it's 218lbs. I swear it come up as 16 stone 6 lbs on Sky earlier... Oh well

That's why, just read read on Boxingscene that Sky initially announced the incorrect weight of 16 st 6lbs. Knew I'd seen that!

Come on Goliath!

No he doesn't look in good condition at all however I've heard it's far harder to reach a certain fitness if you're over 7 ft tall. Something to do with the joints and bones. I can't imagine he does much running. I'd love to find out how much Valuev can bench press though.

My prediction for tomorrow is for a Valuev win on points. Valuev will clip Haye on the chin atleast once and he'll be going down. People forget how poor Haye's chinhas been in the past let alone his questionable stamina! He's fought about 7 rounds in 2 years hasn't he??

I see nothing more than a Haye loss here I'm afraid. I'd love it if he won though. Would be fab for British boxing and the Heavyweight scene.

Every time Haye has been over it is from a shot to the top of the head as in temple area not a shot to the chin FACT.

That's even more of a concern because the chin is the best place to catch someone and with a big reach like Valuev's he's gonna land with the jab dozens of times in this fight.

Well if you want to lose your money put it on Valuev. You will get a good price if you shop around. You can get 10/3 for a Valuev KO and 4/1 for a decision win.
