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:

I think I need to go ahead and prepare to be dissapointed by this fight, the same way alexander-bradley dissapointed.
A great guy and excellent boxing trainer that has trained many champs.Quote:

Talking about the rain..I guess for the SU fans as I bet your Brits are watching this preview now.
Roy talking about the rain and how it may effect the fight
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=rJIizeDL4Hc
Jaw's on the ground....I don't recall ever seeing this many 'guests' on here :o
Here we go let's hope fights half as good as the hype, and dam that's a lot of rain
When is this shit starting? It's dawn here and I've been up all night. Again!
stay in pub & hope we get the fight or run home & hope to get a decent stream????:-\
Not liking what Mannys saying about fighting faster early cause of rain and possible tech dec, head games ???
edit...possibly worst timed intro in quite sometime...awkwarrrrd
what time is the main event supposed to start?
Miles, I hope you're not drunk? If Haye wins you're on suicide watch
Oh, it's starting right? Nice one. These German starts take forever though and it looks pretty gay.
missy, unless you live next to the pub i assume you're in the 2012 olympics?
Haha ;DQuote:

Alrighty here we go, no undercard, Merchant, Lampley and RJJ calling the fight for HBO, the "wet" main event, WTF is Haye doing?
i think David Haye has "hurt" his back again lol
WTF Haye???
I always remember when Naz made Barrera wait... it was raining that night as well ;)
I am watching a polish stream and I am not sure if what I am seeing now is polish adverts or part of the usual klitschko bizzare entry videos :S
actually I think it was just adverts ...
you're more entertaining when you're drunk.Quote:
