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 in 15st 8lbs. Valuev was 22st 7lbs. Its on Sky Sports News.
at 98.2kg i had Haye weighing more like 15stone 6lbs ( 216lbs ) as 100kg is 220lbs 15stone 10lbs and 2.2lbs in a 1kg and Valuev weighing 22stone 7lbs (314lbs)
Haye weighed 217lbs for Bonin 15stone 7lbs ;)Quote:

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...Quote:

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! ;D
Come on Goliath!
If Valuev was as lean as Haye I think he would weigh about 265lbs. He looks fat, everyone was saying he was in top physical condition, but no he is not!Quote:

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.;)Quote:
