David Haye

[ADR147]

I reckon he'll do the brothers over and unify the weight......

umm i would not place money on that

[cally]

Nor me....

But i think he'll do the 1 brother over easily. too clumsy and slow for him, the other brother will be more difficult tho...

No names cos i can't think which way round their names go at the mo my brain is fried this time of night mun... but the clumsy slow 1 he will beat and the hard as feck brother will be harder like.....LOL.

I'll get me coat......

First of all great fight, how brave/stupid of the Ruiz to keep getting back up, secondly the name of the good Russian world champ is Vitali. He has a jab like a hammer and I don't think David H can beat him. The other brother is tough too but I think too slow for Haye who would beat him by KO.

Hope DH can unify the title though, he is like a slimmed down British Mike Tyson with a bit more of a boxing brain and its good we have some great British fighters out there.

You want to win some money, then back a guy called Nathan Cleverly to win a world title. Then there is Amir Khan, Carl Froch of course and how good was that first guy on the bill tonight ginger George?

[Mr O]

Was a poor fight, same old put a big name in there, sell it out, they won't realize the former champ is finished. it was obvious Ruiz is washed up from the start, yes he can still take a battering, and that was what he was there for, put up a fight give the crowd some value for money and basically be a punchbag for the new boy. You might aswell put Tyson back in the ring to make Haye look even better, it's bollocks, glad I didn't pay for it. Haye is good but not fantastic

[noel]

and its good we have some great British fighters out there.

Having been a huge boxing fan since I first saw Floyd Patterson KO Ingemar Johansson on a tiny B&W TV in 1960,
I'm glad to hear that there are some "great British fighters".
But, I'm sad to see and say, it appears that boxing itself may be down and out for the count.

In sports the naturally gifted usually have a choice. They will gravitate to activities they do well at
of course but also to those sports that are cool within their peer group and on the telly.
Parents who support their kids' aspirations usually steer them and subsidize them towards the money.
Football, golf, but not snooker. In Canada the infrastructure to promote hockey from age 5 is obviously successful.
In America it's largely basketball and American football... so they suck at soccer.
The demise of boxing, thanks to greed, corruption and Don King has lost fans like someone yelling "opera" in a crowded firehall.
Tyson was the swan song for boxing. And what started with a bang went out with a whimper. And worse in the long-term,
boxing lost most of it's young potentially great fighters to mixed martial arts on a worldwide scale.
This migration of talent has been going on since George St. Pierre was a child.
Now, boxing as a technique is seen as an adjunct to MMA. It improves the striking part of your arsenal. That's it.
Take a fighter like David Hayes, have Fedor Emelianenko throw him to the ground and he'd be f*cked. Fast.
Kids in the schoolyard KNOW this.
Hopefully, boxing can be "purified" once again and regain past credibity and glory. I have my doubts.

What do you guys think to this fight? Doesn't seem to honourable a way to end it on both fighters, It does seem rather unnatural the way Dirrell responds to the illegal punch when he was downed as well.

When the German was disqualified in the 11th, Dirrell was ahead with all three judges - 97-92, 98-91, 97-92.

[Mr O]

Think Dirrell shown himself to be a cheat. He was hardly caught with that punch after he slipped down, but seized the opportunity to make a meal of it, like footballers diving in the box, what a baby, the other guy was dominating at that point

[1lawyer]

funny as hell, he knew he was just about to get knocked out, sought the easy way out.

It matters not Carl Froch will beat them both on the same night anyway

[dantuck_7]

Got to be tough on Abrahams to have that as a loss on his record, there was also a knockdown in the 10th that looked fine, thibk the American ref was siding with Dirrell.

What would any UFC fighters think of the way that ended?

Thanks for posting that dantuck_7.
A few comments...

1. 4/10 for difficulty 7/10 for originality 2/10 artistic merit 9/10 for dive
2. good dramatic content [ see at 3:08 Abrahams lift is arms in a WTF gesture reminiscent of
Brad Pitt in "Snatch"after he KO's his opponent before agreed round ]
3. Punch stats, ring generalship favour Abrahams in footage I saw plus Dirrell had run out of places
to hide and got "painted" into a corner so he rolled over, as 1laywer suggests, before "sleep".
4. Usually illegal blow results in loss of round, not entire fight. Dirrell clearly had it on the cards so
would have won had he survived. Therein lies the motive.
5. Lucky the fight didn't end in gunfire. It is Detroit afterall. Abrahams isn't black.
6. Where's Don King where you most expect him?


In MMA that blow would have received bonus points.

Now theres a fighter i just cannot stand, gets right up my nose, can't wait for him to get knocked the fook out...

He was lucky taylor run out of steam last year in the final seconds, froch plain as day was losing the fight, he is crap, i don't rate him atall.

And if he mentions joe calzaghe once more, GRRRR,,, the idiot winds me up aye.

Joe was/is in a different class carl, wake up and get over it fella for gawd sake mun. never in a million years would he beat joe he is deluded and he just goes on about joe everytime ya see the clown...pfft not a chance.

Froch is absolute dire fighter the sooner someone knocks him out the better, he can punch yeah, but his chin is....

Can't stand him aye....
Rant over.

[1lawyer]

If Froch beats Kessler and wins this super 6 thing Joe might come out of retirement and I would love to see that fight.
So I hope he keeps wining fer now.

So many fights never happen for one reason or another.

Sugar Ray Len v Hagler 2

Barry Maguigan v Azuma Nelson.

Pac Man v Mayweather

Amir Khan v Ricky Hatton

etc
