The title is now vacant and Oakey will fight for it, probably against Brian Magee:

If Oboh is messing Frank Maloney around then I reckon that will be all she wrote for his career, cause no promoter is going to want to touch him if he's prone to last minute faffing about like this. While I'll wait to see what they have to show us about that, I reckon him getting his title stripped is the least he deserves pulling out so late in the day. If he'd gone a day or two ago at least they could have found another guy to take the fall. At 39, I don't see any way back for him personally.

Not bad on the undercard though....Robert Lloyd Taylor got beaten well, even though he was favourite and I was impressed by Watson's desire. Sam Webb looked pretty dynamite as well.

I was thinking no balls but you could be right.

Having just watched the backstage exchanges between Maloney and Oboh, I'm torn as to whether Oboh did this specifically to prove a point, or whether he was afraid to step in that ring after seeing Oakey at the weighin.

One thought that occurred to me is that he might have been bitter that neither Warren nor Maloney had got him a fight in three years, and so decided to do this in an extremely ill-guided form of revenge.

Maloney was there trying to convince him to fight, and offered him a three-fight deal if he won tonight in front of tv cameras. Personally, I'm leaning towards Oboh finally getting close to that ring and realising that he didn't want to be in there. The sad thing is that the British Light-Heavyweight title has been held up by him for three years, and right on his comeback he quits and gets stripped of it, so no other LH's in the country have been able to hold it.

Firstly have Super secondly what a great way to start in hw division i was hoping he would do it in impressive fashion and he did well done Haye.

Mormeck is gonna hit the canvas HARD within 6 minutes
MARK DAT

Haye will beat the bloody piss out of Mormeck and I'm not talking about a kidney punch.

[amat]

I want to see Mormeck face someone like Braithwaite. Or Enzo for a lot of money.

Just am not sold on him quite yet, looked very green there. Impressivebut not anything that would beat Mormeck or Bell imo. Overwhelming to his opponent but Mormeck and Bell aren't going to be overwhelmed by anybody. His left hook, especially when he throws it low, is very slow. Doesn't pick his hands up, smothers his opponents a bit and rushes in without throwing punches. He was better about that last bit this fight (it's available on Youtube) but he still did it a bit.

He's very big but I'm not sure how powerful he really is. I liked that 1,2 of his though. But Mormeck is a very cagey fighter who doesn't go flatfooted which is something ALL of Haye's opponents have done up to this point.

Mormeck is to much for Haye imo, at this point. Not to be down on Haye but honestly I don't rate him much higher then Enzo and American prospect Jonathan Banks. I think he is developing nicely, but to jump from Bonin, who lets be honest just isn't anything more then an average fighter on his very best night, to Mormeck or Bell is a huge jump in competition. Haye needs to be in there with craftier guys, which is why I threw out Braithwaite because he would just be getting fed to the lions imo.

And it looks like the Mormeck fight is going to be made. Don't like this one bit for the Hayemaker.

Can't believe he did that
Oboh hasn't fought in 3 years then decides to do that
Strange one

Superb analysis as per usual. CC. I was fairly impressed with Haye's performance but you are correct,there are flaws and he not fought anyone remotely close to Bell or Mormeck,both of whom are 2 tough tough fighters!

Unfortunately...last night was DR - Drunken Round. Haye finished it in one, and the support British title fight was called off.
