Hard to see how Chisora ever lasted 12 rounds with Vitali....durability I suppose but that does not a good fighter make.

Vitali hurt his shoulder, in fairness. If he'd been able to throw the right hand properly, I'd have fancied him to get Chisora out of there.

Just goes to show that it was an act all along as suspected. Still glad to see the fight though.

why do people expect any different? to be honest they probably don't like eachother and the munich business was real, and they did try their best to win but going home to a sackful of money kinda makes up for losing.

Can't see how Haye will get inside Vitali, he struggled against Wladamir and Vitali will just pick him off from the distance and win on points.

Vitali is a volume puncher, he doesn't have the big "bang" like Haye or Wlad. He's slowing down obviously, so he didn't hit Chisora as much as he needed to get a stoppage.

Haye was fast and powerful. Since Vitali is already booked, I'd like to see him fight a top 5 contender next or a fight vs. Povetkin for a title.

I'm really not sure where Haye goes from here, the heavyweight scene is nothing like it has been but how long will it take Haye to prepare for a respectable fight.

Price, although not technically ready currently, would be fucking itching for a crack by then.

Yeah I agree mate.
He never really let the right go...that fight greatly exaggerated Chisora's ability, which was exposed tonight.
Decent chin and gutsy enough but nowhere near the standard required to be challenging for world titles...or if he is then it just shows how poor the heavyweight division is.
Second chance saloon for Haye now

1892tillforever · « **Reply #22807 on:** July 14, 2012, 10:42:03 pm »

Haye can't keep that pace up for 12 rounds and he would need to against Vitali. As old as he is, Haye won't nail him half as often as he did with a limited slugger like Chisora.

That first left hook that did the damage was a thing of beauty.

Fordy · « **Reply #22809 on:** July 14, 2012, 10:43:09 pm »

Vitali has to fight Haye now for me or Vitali is a bottler.

Chisora is shit and always has been. For me Chisora should fight Price next. Ty has no need to fight Chisora as he has already kicked his behind.

Price will finish Chisora.

Enjoyed that. Though it was a great fight. Glad Haye won and nice that a charity has got a lot of money. Great touch.

Haye was wearing trainers instead of boxing boots - class.

He could go back and retire, wait for 12 months for a crack at very old Vitali assuming he is not retiring by then or take on a top ranked fighter in the meantime, not that there are many out there.

I wasn't expecting anything different to be fair, thought Chisora and his loose screws might have upset the apple cart after the fight though. Haye plays them same game every time, bad mouth the opponent but it's all for show. That's why he's talked about so much and fair play to him.

I still think Vitali wins. Haye can't keep up a frenetic pace for 12 rounds which he would need to have a chance. But you're right, Vitali will probably quit in the next fight or two.

Have to disagree. Haye was dismal against Wladimir and had little chance of winning as it turned out. He will struggle against Vitali despite the age gap. He destroys tough but limited opponents but I honestly think he doesn't have what it takes to take down Vitali.
Tonight Haye was excellent but his overall resume at heavyweight is not nearly good enough for Vitali to be running scared.

Exactly this imo. He managed to talk himself into the Wlad fight, but he had a world title then and was unbeaten at heavyweight. Would be much harder this time and he'd have to accept a much smaller % of the purse to even start negotiations.

Terms were agreed in December and Vitali backed out.

Ok we shall see. After tonight then Vitali should want to get the Haye fight sorted... but he won't.

Give over. Vitali is scared of nobody. He's got his flaws, and given that he's 40 now, with a history of injury problems, he's thinking about life after boxing. But in no way is he scared of Haye. He's a proper hard bastard who enjoys hurting people.

AB LFC · « **Reply #22835 on:** July 14, 2012, 11:04:41 pm »

Did they exchange hugs and kisses post-fight?

Chisora is a poor excuse for a boxer, some of the "punches" he was throwing looked like he was hammering down onto a piece of wood. Hope Khan-Garcia delivers

StokieSteve · « **Reply #22836 on:** July 14, 2012, 11:05:40 pm »

David Haye fought a smart fight tonight. He could do that against Vitali. Maybe Vitali sees that Haye could take him and retires.

He absolutely doesn't. He has a legacy and the trouble that comes with fighting haye is probably not worth the reward from his point of view now. If I was him I wouldn't give haye the time of day.

No excuse not taking the Haye fight unless he is scared and I feel he is.
