If nobody has any objections, lets use this for this evenings fight & scoring thread.
July 2
At Hamburg, Germany (HBO): Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye, 12 rounds, for Ring/IBF/WBO/WBA heavyweight unification.
Wlad vs Haye will be shown "live" on HBO & Sky Sports, @ 9:45 PM in Hamburg or the UK, et al, and somewhere around 4:45 PM EST. (an afternoon fight in North America) or about 2 1/2 hours from now.
Get the beer iced up and the popcorn ready. :willydance:
So it starts at 145? Cool a Saturday fight I get to watch live.
California is in PST no? I like afternoon fights, you don't have to wait until 9:00 or 10:00 PM to watch them in CST or EST.Quote:

Wlad was starting to win me over during the build up, and he does come across in a much more dignified and classy way than Haye, but ultimately patriotism takes over and I want the Brit to win.
Wlad KO 1 Haye. Not gonna be much to scoreQuote:

Thanks for making this a sticky SHH. I respect Brits for getting behind their boxers, honestly though if Haye were an american and acted like he did, there's no way I could support him. Promoting/hyping the fight is one thing, but some of the shit he does is just juvenile and uncalled for.Quote:

Wlad usually doesn't knock pugs out in the early rounds, it would be unusual for him come out that aggressive and go right after Haye in the 1st round. I believe Haye will be on his bicycle the first 4 or 5 rounds and avoid getting KTFO, but by the 6th or 7th round Wlad will get to him.
I backed Ola to win by KO but felt guilty because of scrap. I agree, Terry's had his day.Quote:
