David Haye Will Fight Nikolay Valuev November 7th!

The Vitali Klitschko Vs David Haye fight is off!!!! How many times will this happen..This is a disgrace.

David Haye is now fighting Nikolay Valuev on November 7th! Tickets should be available within a week or two from ticketnetwork.

People are saying he has finally woke up and smelt the coffee, and has possibly realised how big of a task it is taking on the Klitschko brothers, particularly Vitali. Basically people are saying Haye has bottled it!

So now the latest turn of events is this Valuev fight.

Nikolay Valuev is massive in comparison to Haye, as he is with everyone! He weighs 23 stone!This is not going to be a walk in the park for Haye, he will need to use good boxing skills, fast footwork and fast hands to win this fight. Nikolay does have decent boxing skills for such a freak show size of a guy, and he can punch a bit. If he catches David Haye's suspect chin clean with those tree trunk arms Hayes going over.

David Haye can win this fight, if he does he will be the new WBA heavyweight champion.

I don't want to write too much about this fight incase it gets cancelled again! Don't hold your breath.

Amir Khan Dominates Kotelnik To Claim World Title

Amir Khan is the new WBA World Champion!

After a well deserved, hard fought points decision Khan was crowned champ.

This was a very mature performance from Khan, the best yet. And also a well thought out game plan by Freddy Roach. Khan's speed and footwork was too much for Kotelnik to deal with, once Khan hit Kotelnik he was mostly out of distance for any counter punches from Kotelnik. Saying that, Kotelnik did have moments in the fight where he caught Khan with some good shots but Khan was able to handle them well and come back instantly with punches of his own.

Kotelnik looked frustrated with the speed of Khan, and out of his comfort zone from the beginning, he knew he couldn't start slow, so he started pretty quick for what he usually does, but Khan was too fast on his feet, punching and moving. Kotelnik just didn't have the answer. It was a great win for Khan, one that he should get full credit for, he fought a great fight.

Khan showed what he can do when he puts his mind to it. He has matured as a fighter and a person. He really has learnt a lot since joining forces with the Roach camp, and sparring with the pacman has been a blessing for Khan. I can only see him winning if he stays as focused as he is now, and providing he follows Freddy Roaches game plans. It's onwards and upwards for Khan. It does look like the Prescott loss has really made him re-dedicate himself fully to the game.

A Great Bill For The Khan Vs Kotelnik Fight

Just a quick post regarding the Khan - Kotelnik undercard.

Khan Wins WBA Title - Read more..

This is such an exciting card, but one fight that, for me, really stands out is Anthony Small Vs Matthew Hall. These two boxers couldn't be more different. Hall is not a talker, he has very little to say. And Small is just talk talk talk!! He is like a mini council estate ALI wannabe! There has been a lot of friction in the press conferences between these two. This fight could well be the best of the night. Matthew Hall has good power and has adopted the "Mike Tyson" style, while Anthony Small is a "jab keep it at range", use the ring type of fighter.

This should be a very interesting and explosive fight. I want Hall to win, and i think he will, but wouldn't be surprised if Anthony Small was able to use his boxing skills effectively enough to keep his distance and get the win.

Another fight that should be good is Enzo Maccarinelli Vs Denis Lebedev. This is a make or break fight for big mac. After being knocked out in his last fight against Ola Afolabi, who is seen by most as a good journey man at the most. Big mac really needs to prove he can mix with the best and win this fight against Lebedev, and win it in style. Where does he go if he loses? Right to the bottom i think. Enzo is lucky to have Frank Warren as his promoter because without him he would no way of got this fight. Also being a cruiser weight, it's quite a dead division at the moment, with not many top fighters. Denis Lebedev is said to be quite a good fighter with an impressive fight and KO record.

I really hope Enzo can get his boxing career back on track. He has changed trainers from Enzo Calzaghe to Karl Ince, so let's see if this change can bring out a new and improved big mac.

I have to say, it's been well talked about recently that in the Enzo training camp for the Ola Afolabi fight there was no sparring!!! I cannot believe Enzo Calzaghe would think this is OK. Sparring is one of the most important aspects of boxing training. I think that shows that either, Enzo Calzaghe is not as experienced as a trainer as people think, or he is possibly losing his marbles...Perhaps he doesn't care too much about the fighters now that his son Joe Clazaghe has retired. Because i bet for Joe he made sure all preparations were spot on.

Whatever the reason i think Enzo Maccarinelli done the right thing in changing trainers. No sparring - That is a joke. It's actually beyond a joke. No wonder Enzo Maccarinelli was knackered after one round against Ola Afolabi.

Anyway, let's hope big mac makes a spectacular comeback!

**Update**

Spectacular comeback! Oh yeah, he done that alright. He got stopped in 3 rounds..I think he should call time on his boxing career. Or stick to domestic level maybe..He just hasn't got what it takes for world level. Shame though because Enzo is a good guy. But good guy or not, you have to have the skill level and punch resistance, defense, etc etc, and im sorry to say that he hasn't got it. Read more about the loss

David Haye Will Fight Vitali Klitschko In September

David Haye Will Fight Vitali Klitschko In September

The fight is off!! Read More

David Haye will get his chance to fight for a world title, not against Wladimir, but against his big brother Vitali. Heavyweight contender Haye is due to fight Vitali Klitschko on September 12th, and will be made official within 2 weeks.

David Haye was meant to fight Wladimir for the WBO and IBF world titles, but pulled out right at the last minute claiming he had injured his back.

Very lucky for Haye, he thought his chances of landing a world title fight were well gone, but after extensive talks with Vitali Klitschko and his camp the fight has been made. Vitali Klitschko holds the best belt, the WBC. So if Haye can win this fight it would be a great achievement.

I would of preferred David Haye to of fought Wladimir, but i guess i wasn't meant to be. Vitali Klitschko is a much thougher guy. One thing in Hayes favor though against Vitali is his age, he has not long come back to boxing after retiring.

Who wins? I think Vitali, even though getting on in years will batter Haye quite easily.

Very interested in peoples opinions. Comment below.

UFC 100 Great Fights

UFC 100

It was a great night of fights to mark the 100th UFC. Touching on a few on them quickly.

Tiago alves Vs George St. Pierre was a great fight which seen GSP retain his title. I was very impressed with everything he done, his take downs were superb, his stand up was superb. Alves just didn't have the answer to GSP's quick thinking, great striking, great take downs, and super technique.

Dan Henderson totally Knocked out Michael Bisping COLD! Henderson looked very strong from the start landing some good punches throughout. Bispings hands looked very weak in comparison, and once Henderson was able to close the distance and land some heavy punches it was all over. Bisping was caught with a huge hook over the top and was out before he hit the floor. Henderson then followed up with a huge punch to the defensless face of Bisping.

Frank Mir Gets Destroyed by Brock Lesnar!!

From the start Brock just man handled Mir, pinning him down on the floor, getting Mir in a very awkward headlock and just punching his face when he had the chance, and also doing a good job of smothering and tiring Mir whilst he was trying to get a better position on the floor. Mir survived the first round but not the second. Again they ended up on the floor and Brock just used his weight and massive frame to pin Mir and just kept punching and punching, catching Mir with some massive punches. Frank Mir was basically getting hit and just trying to hide from the punches, as if he just wanted it to be over, needless to say the referee called an end to the fight. A great win for Brock Lesnar. This guy is so big and strong he really does pose a threat to anyone.

Khan Vs Kotelnik - Who Wins?

 Khan Vs Kotelnik - Who Wins?

The fight is almost here, with there being a delay along the way it's added even more excitement to the fight. Some people were saying that maybe Kotelnik had been hurt in sparring ( punched in the mouth ) and needed some time to heal before taking on a good, and much improved fighter - Amir Khan. Other people are saying that Kotelnik looks soft and might have needed more time to get in shape.

Whatever the real reason is we may never know, one thing i do know is that Kotelnik is coming to fight and he will not lay down for no one. Personally i think Kotelnik has been underestimated by many Amir Khan fans. Kotelnik has the skills and fitness to beat Khan.

But to be honest i think Khan will win, he's the more hungry, has greatly improved skills, and has one of the best sparring partners in the world ( Pacman ) and one of the best trainers in the world (Freddy Roach), so if Amir Khan can beat Kotelnik it will be now. I think he is ready for this fight, but the one thing that is a concern is his punch resistance. What happens when he gets hit, and im sure he will at some point. Kotelnik isn't noted as a one punch KO hitter, but he has enough power to wear a fighter down and eventually knock them out. This is no walk in the park fight for either fighter that's for sure. Should be a great fight!

So who wins? Let me know.
