Kessler Beats Carl Froch

Kessler Beats Carl Froch

I thought this was a great fight. Two top class, similar in style fighters trading big punches from the first bell to the last. Both boxers had good spells in the fight, but I do beleive that the right fighter got the decision on the score cards. Kessler was controlling the pace, and done more work overall. He really deserved the win. I can see where Carl Froch was coming from when he mentioned that if he was at home he would of won on the cards. And I could also understand Carl's shock that one of the judges scored the fight to Kessler by a huge margin, which i think was 117 - 111. No way should this fight have been scored like that, as It was a very close fight.

But as I said, Kessler did win by a point or two. Carl Froch didn't do enough in my opinion. Anyone that watched the fight would of seen the body language of each fighter at the last bell. Kessler was celebrating, and Carl Froch looked like he knew he had lost, no celebrating, just a look of sadness. Deep down, Carl was aware he hadn't done enough, no matter what he said to the interviewers after the fight.

Kessler, for now, holds the WBC title, but who knows who will hold it when the super six tournament ends, your guess is as good as mine.

Carl Froch will now face Arthur Abraham, who is also coming off a loss, so both will be raring to go. This fight will be explosive.

Wladimir Klitschko Calls Out David Haye

Wladimir Klitschko Calls Out David Haye

Wladimir has recently released a video clip he made of himself calling out David Haye. I think this was a great move, with good potential for pumping some much needed excitement back into the heavyweight division. Calling out David Haye was also very good thinking from Wladimir. It's usually David Haye doing the "calling out", and this time Wladimir has beaten him to it. Great psychological tactics by Wladimir.

Will David Haye take the bait?

I think he has to, the video that Wladimir made is now viral on the internet, that means it's on every single video website, including Youtube and Google video with the views into the hundreds of thousands already. If Haye doesn't accept this challenge, specially after many people are already accusing him of ducking the Klitschko's twice already, he will lose a lot of credibility. There are mandatory challenges, and also rematch claws in the way of both fighters before they can face each other, but nothing a pay off couldn't sort out to get this much awaited fight up and running. After being let down twice already in the past for whatever the reasons in regards to both Vitali and Wladimir confirmed to be fighting David Haye, I think the fans deserve to see David Haye, once and for all, fight one of the Klitschko's.

We might get a response in video form from David Haye, we'll have to wait and see. If this fight can finally be made it would be huge! Heavyweight boxing needs this fight.

David Haye Stops John Ruiz In Round 9

David Haye Stops John Ruiz In Round 9

David Haye stops John Ruiz in the 9th round after Ruiz's corner throw in the towel, not wanting their man to take any more punishment. It was a very exciting fight with Haye knocking Ruiz down several times in the fight, one knock down coming in the very first round with a one-two combination that Ruiz didn't see coming. It looked like the fight could be all over, but Ruiz showed true survival skills and thoughness. Ruiz showed why he has won the heavyweight title two times before, not through his skill so much, as he is pretty average in all departments, but through his durability, determination, and thoughness. You have to take your hat off and show Ruiz some respect due to how game he was, Ruiz did, as always, come to fight.

David Haye's power was impressive, knocking Ruiz down 4 times in all. Haye has now shown that he has carried his power up to heavyweight, and can knock a genuinely tough heavyweight down. I was a little concerned about Haye's stamina as he looked very tired after the second round, but he seemed to get his second wind, and work behind the jab, slowing things down a bit to control the pace of the fight.

David Haye could now be fighting one of the Klitschko's this year (2010), if negotiations go well.
