Really looking forward to this fight on Saturday night.

Can't be bothered to type it from scratch so this is my post from my racing forum.


I was close to taking 11/5 Valuev outright a while back but am torn.

The only way Haye can beat him in my opinion is by outspeeding him and nicking it on points which will be very difficult in Germany.
To my knowledge, Valuev has never been stopped and I haven't seen anything in Haye so far to suggest he has the power to stop him, but he will probably be a stone or so heavier than we have seen him so far in his career.

Haye has a vulnerable chin and if Valuev catches him it will probably be night over.

That said, I watched Valuev beat a desperately past it Holyfield on points recently and think Holyfield was robbed. On that formline, Haye would win!

I probably won't have a bet for two reasons.
1. Giz fancies Haye so will be cheering him on all night and
2. The heavyweight scene is so desperately poor I'd like to see Haye win to shake it up a bit.

Any opinions folks?

The heavyweight division has been a bit of a circus for a while now, what with old boxers coming out of ritirement at the not so ripe age of 42-48, and now we get another freak show with the little talented Valuev fighting the very little talented Haye.

Valuev could only beat Holyfield on points when the Yank was 15 years past his sell-by-date so haye has a chance, but it'll be a very long evening as he'll be much heavier so slower than previous fights and the Russian will be moving about as fast as James McFadden on valium..

Incorrect.

It was a play on words, dazza, as in he's about 3ft shorter than the other fella..

Ah, in that case

Phew! Got away with that one..

Haye 4/6...Valuev 6/4... ....might be a bit of Valuev at 6/4..?
K.R.O.

Interestingly Sidders, I train with Ronnie Davies' brother on Wednesdays and he asked me to put him a few quid on Haye "if he is 4/1 or better"

They were all expecting him to be a huge outsider. (not a play on words!)

Mon the Hayemaker...

4/1 or better. ..clearly one of life's super optimists!
K.R.O.

Which one's Goliath again?

Haye comes across as an articulate and bright sort of bloke, and he's only one letter away from having a truly marvellous name.

Valuev is a bad extra from a poor Roger Moore James Bond film and has an awful taste in 80's knitwear.

So based on that sound sporting basis, I'm having a couple of quid on Haye to win.

Haye should be the favourite really? Valuev hasn't really fought anyone of note barring a 50 year old Holyfield? But he's big and has sharp looking body hair that could injure knuckles upon contact.

Er....Haye IS the favourite Lobby at 4/6....Valuev 6/4...
K.R.O.

I hang my head in shame.

6/4 isn't really much valuev for value is it?

Your right don't apear to be a lot of value in either boxer for a straight win... slightly favour Valuev but have a closer look Saturday about a bet.
K.R.O.

(Darren) Hayes?

It is only a 2 runner race! - 3 if you include the draw of course...

The only value will be picking the right round or how it ends. Valuev to win by bashing his testicles against Haye's forehead in the fifth is currently 11-2..

I'm on it..

I wasn't convinced that Valuev actually won that after watching rerun on t'web. Holyfield was unlucky to say the very least to lose.

Eight dull rounds of Tesco Valuev leaning on little Dave, before Haye uses his speed to knock the big lanky c*nts knees in.

Ninth round Haye for me.

I think Valuev will knock little Davey out with a Hayemaker in the second..

Whos actually going to buy this then? we are thinking about it but i havent decided whether to bother or not as yet.

Fck, no!

I'll be looking here meself.

I can never get that site to work DK, what do i have to do?

Turn your computer on

Now that I know how to do, its turning it off i seem to struggle with.

Definately yes.

would love to see this but going to a bonfire pary....i think hayes speed and power will be to much for the ogre and he will use the ring to his advantage...valuev cant turn....but then again 23 stone of punch....should be a good un!

Having watched the build up to the fight on Sky I don't think Haye has got a cat in hells' chance. He's got no chin, no stamina, he hasn't fought more than seven rounds in two years, and he's been knocked down several times, whereas Valuev has never been KO'd..

The Russian guy to win inside three, possibly two..

It seems Phil has purchased it so we will be watching as well.

Enough with the undercard already.

Let's have this freak show on now.

I've had Haye in the 9th in the end...

Tentative start by both boxers, Haye doesn't want to commit too early and Value stands and wait..

Round two won by Haye as he was the only one who threw a punch. Valuev just jogs on the spot like a fat bloke on valium..

Round three won by Haye as he's the only one throwing anything apart from thin air parties..

Round four won by Goliath. Haye is moving and jabbing but he's starting to look inaffective..

Round five: It's starting to look juicy. Haye is throwing punches but they're ineffective and the painfully slow but unbothered Rushkie is taking it all in.

Haye is fighting intellegently but as Round six closes he doesn't seem to be making any inroads. Value has been here before, will davey get tired.....?

Are you pair watching for free when I paid money for it

YES..

Haye is looking like he's had the best rounds behind him, while Valuev seems to know that he's got a Louis Armstrong sponsored all the time in the world..

However, Valuev hasn't thrown in a punch in a lifetime..

Round ten starts and the hairy fella hasn't thrown a punch since football first started two hours ago. Haye's starting to look good value at 4-7 to knock him out.

Bloody kids

Wow that was exciting, bet the freak wins!

Bloody hell he won

He should have gone for it sooner

Surprised he got the decision over there but pleased he did!

Never watched it,but by all accounts it was a close call,still fair play to Haye and good job it was 'only a few quid on Valuev with Betfair' !!.
K.R.O.

I lost connection before the last round in the end, but I had it equal on points so was pleasantly surprised to see he won.

C'mon now Klitschko brothers...
