David Haye v Giancobbe Fragomeni European Title RBR - 10pm SS1

[superheavyrhun]

What a fight.
I have it 79-73 how you have the score like that I don't know.

I don't think Haye was doing enough, he was getting outworked, and his punches weren't causing too much damage. I'm not sure that Fragomeni's corner did the right thing in pulling him out, it was tighter than that IMO.
David Haye did answer questions about his stamina, and his power came through further on in the fight, even though he looked to be pawing a bit with the jab. Haye bruised under the right eye and cut on the left, no doubt he was in a tough contest today.

Why the f*ck just give up !!!!

A 37 year old novice did that to Haye, what is Bell gonna do ?

Watt keeps saying it answered questions about Hayes stamina, too right its still sh*t, it wasnt a fast pace.

Im gutted, Fragomeni only had to hang around till the last and hed have pushed Haye over,

Mate your very hard to please?? Just gave up? lmao, this guy was hard as nails he took everything that p4p puncher Haye had, man the Italian bloke was a game fighter who took a beating and some very heavy head and body shots.

the only round fragomeni had was when he got cut. The rest of it he was in control, under pressure yes, but he was landing shots. O' neil Bell, look out, Haye is the finished article, he grew up in the ring there, still only 26 (Cruisers/Heavies mature later) he was brilliant.

From what I'm reading. Bell would KTFO Haye if he got past the 3rd round.

I wish haye would shut up about how hard it is to make weight, hes not ripped or cut, like Golota or Wladamir is at heavy, he still has fat to lose, hes just lazy in his training as his stamina issues show

[yoitsdan]

Haye is fucked hes getting taken out here!!!

Unfair. He was magic!

David Haye: "This guy has been nagging in the back of my head for years. Back in the day I would have panicked but I know exactly what I'm doing. He hit me with a few shots that I felt a little, but I was never bothered. It was the first time in my life that I've been cut, but I felt like I was in the Rocky movies, looking out of one eye.
"The further this goes then the harder it will be for me to get down to the weight, that's why I want to get the O'Neil Bell fight on as soon as possible"

Frank Maloney also believes a bout v Bell will be on early on in 2007.

Great heart from Haye! I thought he was done, especially after the cut... but that left hook to the body took everything out of Fragomeni.
Cracking fight!

Forget the Carl Thompson fight, it was a long time ago, welcome in the new era of the mature, robust(ish!) and well conditioned David Haye!

Mate i dont think he was magic, he fought a hard man not a good boxer with any decent power, just a tough man, it was what he needed and a great test, O Neil Bell has skills mate, in that 6/7 th round Haye was getting stalked and looked like he was blowing, like i have said in other posts after this full credit to both fighters great entertaining fight, Haye did very well to finish him.

And Ross?? Haye is ripped to fuck have you been smoking something?? the guy is 6FT 3?? He has to boil down to make cruiserweight, he aint lazy its genetics mate.

How well do you think David Haye will do at Heavyweight? If he is struggling to drag the weight off of him as he says, will O'Neil Bell be his last at Cruiser? With the heavies being the traditional area of boxing to make money, and not too many up and comers out there, it might be the right time for him. However, I don't think that Haye showed he was the finished article at all. He was getting caught far too often, and was finding it hard to get past Fragomeni's tight guard. He did however look pretty composed throughout, even when he was being shoved back on the ropes time and again.

So I'm an idiot for reading people's opinions of a fight and start a statement saying "From what I'm reading." And not making a blanket statement as if I'd seen the fight.

And then you call me a fucking idiot?

That doesn't make you look any better trying to back up anything you say being overly harsh with me for having an opinion different from yours

There's better ways to solve that

And Ross?? Haye is ripped to F*** have you been smoking something?? the guy is 6FT 3?? He has to boil down to make cruiserweight, he aint lazy its genetics mate.

Just because his muscle shows through dont mean hes ripped

Ripped is the kind of definition a body builder has, not muscle mass but deffinition, Haye doesnt have that ripped look, of the recent big blokes Golota has good deffinition

you cant discount the Thompson fight because if Fragomeni was half the puncher Carl was then giacobbe would have stopped him

Yeah, its amazing how when you can know it all from being sat in front of your computer. How can you have an opinion after looking at some 12 font arial.
