The_Rev Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I have to agree, some of his punches don't even look like he's trying yet they still make opponents crumble. He's the biggest puncher I can think of since Naz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best bit were his nicknames, dynamite, the terminator and the liquidator.

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 David Haye weighed in at 227lbs yesterday, that's the heaviest he has ever weighed, in his last couple of fights he was around the 210 mark, I think against Ruiz he was a bit over 220lb. It probably won't show in this fight, since he's fighting a bum, but I expect Haye to not have the speed he once had. Age, shoulder 'injury' and now additional weight will probably slow him down a bit. Wilder vs Szpilka later could be interesting. Szpilka is a very crude fighter but Wilder tends to switch off and has been getting caught and rocked by very low level opposition of late, Szpilka has some power so has a good chance of at least getting Wilder a bit hurt in this one, assuming he doesn't get blasted out of there early.

OutByEaster? Posted January 16, 2016 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's been talking about weight as something he wanted to change to protect himself from injury - he's been eating every couple of hours and wanting to be heavier than he's been before. I don't think it'll make much difference to him, or if it's a good idea, but it is deliberate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 We'll see how he carries it, not tonight, but when the level of opposition goes up. I really do expect him to have slowed down. Haye never really convinced me as a heavyweight, not only is he too small for this division but his style isn't particularly conducive to it either. At his best he's a tremendous puncher but it's very hard to execute the 'ambush' style against a guy who's 6ft 6+ and knows how to fight tall.

villa4europe Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Well that was shit Think there will no doubt be some guff about haye being "back" and trying to flog himself for a massive fight that he doesn't deserve, I think when the dust settles he might realise that wasn't necessarily a great victory for him, did well to sell out the O2 but I still don't think he'd smash a ppv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Rev Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 He's got to talk himself up at every opportunity. He's 35 and has been out of the ring for three years, time is not on his side at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) Cringe from start to finish. Dreadful show, dreadful fight. David really doing his best to pimp himself out "we'll find someone to fight" really did sound desperate. I loved how he dodged the question about pissing all his money away and doing this because he's broke. Clearly his real motivation.
