He was moving around the ring pretty well, looked light on his feet and quite fast and he was skipping too. Has he got a new trainer or something? He actually looked like a half decent boxer.
I was just a bit taken back as I'm used to seeing him plod about in the ring.
Also Haye was doing padwork and Booth had monsters instead of pads on his hands heheheh...
Anyone else see it?
No, but I expect Valuev will be up for this fight, unlike against Holyfield and will put up a decent fight.
i cant wait for this fight now the hype has finally got hold of me;D
has that haye valuev countdown started on skysports yet?
yep - a lot of guys in my office who arent fans are intrigued by it due to the sheer size difference. That can only be a good thing.
And although David is giving away a 100lbs or so remember what happened at the weigh in in the bible when David fought Goliath - as someone said then 'a stone could make all the difference here' ;)
I hear Haye is scrapping his usual British flag trunks for some leather shorts to keep with the david and golliath theme
It will be shameful if he loses ;D

intrigued to hear who it is
If its some eastern european/german numpty who doesnt know the difference between a low blow and an uppercut then davids in for one tough old night
Just watched the press conference and valuev looks like he could quite easily eat david haye if need be!!

Ref is Jersey Joe Walcott - that guy doesn't make mistakes sso everything should be fine
According to the daily mirror website the ref is Luis Pabon from Puerto Rico

Apparently the ref is Luis Pabon from Puerto Rico
Jersey Joe hasnt made a mistake in a long while ;D
94 I think was the last time He made one ;D
Apparently Pabon likes to ref the Valuev fights...as a good omen he was the ref for Valuev-Holyfield and Valuev-Chagaev, Nico should have lost both of those.
See if you can find out if he's been the source of any controversy
Luis Pabon
Never even heard of him! I hope he's not a dick!Quote:

I'm getting a bit nervous for Haye now. Haye really is very untested at HW and here he is facing someone who just needs to keep him at elbows length. Haye can do this but it's not going to be easy getting in and out and unloading without getting tagged in return. Will sure make curious viewing.

Well i'm not psychic but, I honestly think Haye will stop Valuev. He WILL certainly floor him and I don't see Valuev liking that too much.Quote:

Or the ring foundations!... :-\
To be honest though I don't know if I see any knock downs happening, maybe a late stoppage either way but I can't see Haye being able to get the leverage punching up to floor valuev and valuev doesn't operate like that.
if 300lbs clips you on the chin you'll go down, but Valuev doesn't have consitant one punch power, if he gets a knock down it will be because the punch landed just right and haye was in the right place for it to happen and not simply because his punches are concusive.
