Bad times them. Me mate used to say this is two doormen knockin fcuk out of each other, nothing more to it. He was right too.

I couldn't believe Price went from fighting Skelton to fighting Thompson in such a short space of time. He needs to have a look at his matchmaker there IMO.

I always liked williams, a good boxer but mentally he had problems with confidence. on his day he was very good. ive heard he is still fighting and being knocked out on a regular basis, sad really.

Maybe I used the wrong word there, enthralling was probably more appropriate, as it was a genuine David vs Goliath battle, tactically perfect from Haye (& Booth). I can still see that shot from Haye that nearly put him down & that broke his hand in the process :lol:

The only time I've ever felt sorry for the hand when a punch landed. His head must have been about 8 stone.

I had no time for any of them. Felt Sprott was the best of a criminally poor bunch. Throw Julius Francis in with that too.
 
David Haye is caught between selling a spectacle to keep the pay-per-view cash rolling in and an honest appraisal of the calibre of opponent he faces next week. The compromise is a prediction that sees Tyson Fury making it to the second round of their all-British heavyweight bout in Manchester before reposing on the canvas for good.

Haye takes one look at Fury's record and shakes his head. He understands the interest in this fight, that Fury has talked up a head of steam, but can't take his opponent seriously as a boxer. "You look at our pedigree, what I have achieved, what he has achieved. You have to be a bit of an idiot not to realise that I'm going to beat him up easily," he said.

"He has done nothing in his fights to suggest not only that he might beat me but that he can even compete with me. I'm predicting a second-round knockout for this one. I'm predicting he'll walk into one. Any fighter can get through the first round, he can spit his gum shield out, he can hold me, he can run. But once he gets that onslaught he'll be looking to get out of there."

Haye claims he has bounced around sparring partners of higher quality than Fury, whose enormous dimensions – 6ft 9in and 18st, will count against him. "He just gives me more to hit. Fury comes out swinging like a bar-room brawler. There's lots of body, lots of head, lots of neck to tee off.

"People say he is tough, but who has he fought? You scratch the surface and ask does this guy punch very hard? The answer is no. I am a noted puncher, one of the hardest in the world."

In other boxing news Ken Norton has passed away. He was a bit before my time but he was one tough looking man. RIP

Very sad news, tough as nails, the men of the greatest era of heavyweight boxing seem to be passing now, reminding us of just how great this sport can be

Boxing needs a good heavyweight division badly. The way it is now is terrible. I cant wait for someone to come along and smash the klitchko's to pieces
 


Seen a picture of it, it's a beast of a cut. 6 stitches needed.

Fury's PR will be all over this though. Could be a massive momentum swing coming into the re-arranged fight.

Don't think it'll matter - he'll still be Tyson Fury at the end of the day; a one dimensional gimp gypo who punches himself in the face.
