Amir Khans Title Fight Against Kotelnik Might Be Off

Amir Khans Title Fight Might Be Off

If boxing fans hadn't had enough bad luck with David Haye getting injured, now Amir Khans title fight hangs in the balance. Andreas Kotelnik has a tooth infection so the fight is going to be postponed at the very least unless Kotelnik gets the problem sorted quickly and says he wants the fight to go ahead as scheduled.

Having a tooth infection can be very painful, depending on how far gone it is, i know, i have had one and there's no way you could go into a world title fight without getting it seen to.

Khans promoter, Frank Warren is now waiting for news from Kotelniks representatives to see what is going to happen. Personally i think a postponement is probably the logical outcome, but there are reports that the fight might not take place at all and Khan will have to find a new opponent.

I don't think it will come to that. But we will have to wait and see.

*Update*

Amir Khan Vs Adreas Kotelnik is happening on July 18th.

Kotelnik has actually been over to London to confirm that he is still eager to get the fight on. He will be having a very minor operation to get his tooth infection sorted, and will be ready to go on July 18th. So at least we will get to see this fight, which in my opinion should be a really good fight.

Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye Is Called Off

Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye Is Off


Well here's just a quick update regarding the Wladimir Klitschko Vs David Haye fight - Its been called off! due to David Haye injuring himself in training. To say this is a disappointment is an understatement to say the least.

This fight will probably be rescheduled for later this year, that is if Wladimir doesn't just fight someone else. David Haye could end up losing out big time here if Wladimir fights someone else and loses. I do think the fight will take place though because of the contracts that have been signed between the two camps / fighters.

The word coming from the Haye camp is that the injury isn't serious. Some people are questioning whether their even is an injury, saying that he has pulled out because he wasn't up for the fight, personally i don't believe that is the truth, i believe he is injured and is very very angry that the fight has been called off. But there is so much at stake in this fight that no one can really blame the camp for calling the fight off if Haye is genuinely injured. So lets just hope he recovers quickly and the fight gets back on track within a month or two.

Quick update : David Haye is said to have injured his back which is said to have put the fight on a delay of 3 weeks. Question is, will Wladimir want to wait? Or will he just fight someone else..We will find out soon.

Great Fights And Theres More To Come

Great Fights And Theres More To Come

From Carl Froch's unbelievable knockout of Jermain Taylor in the last seconds of the last round of their fight, to Manny Pacquiao's total destruction of Ricky Hatton, Boxing is on fire at the moment with some great fights taking place. And like i said, theres more to come.

Floyd Mayweather Jr has made a comeback to boxing and is taking on Juan Manuel Marquez for his comeback fight, needless to say, this is a huge fight to take for your first fight back, many people, including many boxing experts believe Marquez beat Manny Pacquiao twice. So Floyd is facing a P4P king for sure. I don't think this will be an easy fight for Floyd Mayweather, as good as he is, Marquez is one hell of a fighter. Floyd Mayweather always finds a way to win though, and i think he will win this fight but it wont be easy. If Floyd does win the fight with Marquez he will no doubt be taking on Manny Pacquiao. If Floyd wants to truly be considered as the Pound for pound number 1 in the present time he has to beat Manny Pacquiao.

It must be on Floyd Mayweather Jr's mind that he went the distance and won a controversial decision against Oscar De La Hoya, and also took 10 rounds to beat Ricky Hatton. Where as Manny Pacquiao Beat Oscar easily and beat Hatton even easier. But like the old and very true saying goes..Styles make fights, and Manny Pacquiao Vs Floyd Mayweather is a superb match up. I hope it happens.

Then we go on to the big boys David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko. This fight has really caught the attention of fight fans world wide, mainly because the heavyweight division has been quite boring lately and this fight has injected some excitement back into the heavyweight scene, with David Haye talking trash and wearing t-shirts of him holding the decapitated heads of Wladimir and Vitali.

Also Both David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko are considered to have suspect chins so this makes for an interesting fight. Personally i think Wladimir will jab Hayes head off and David Haye won't be able to get past it, Wladimirs superb jab, height and weight advantage just being too much. I think Haye has jumped up in class, experience and weight too quick and he will lose this fight as a result. I might be wrong, if Haye can effectively use the "Tyson Style", moving his head, slipping punches and getting inside landing bombs he stands a chance. But no one has been able to get past the super jab of Wladimir (except Sanders), but that was earlier in Wlads career.

Prediction - David Haye will be Ko'd within 7 rounds.

Some great fights to come!

Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao

Ricky Hatton Vs Manny Pacquiao - Saturday May 2nd

Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao are now in Los Angeles to promote their super fight, and that is what it is, a super fight. This fight has already got a money total of almost $90 Million. Fans where out in their thousands in L.A, with most of them coming to see Manny Pacquiao, as L.A is his second home.

Both fighters are supremely confident that they will be the one that's victorious come fight night, which one this will be is still anyone's guess, but most bookmakers will no doubt have Manny Pacquiao as the favorite. Most people also think Manny will win, but i think he has a much tougher nights work ahead of him then most people think. As mentioned before Ricky Hatton is very strong at his natural weight, which could bring Manny Pacquiao some problems. If Ricky Hatton can apply smart pressure, getting in close without taking too many punches he can win this fight.

If, on the other hand Manny Pacquiao can use his superior hand speed and great "in and out" footwork, keeping Ricky Hatton on the outside, he will win this fight pretty easily. But it's easier said then done to keep Hatton away from you for the whole fight. This is a great fight, both have advantages and disadvantages, in my opinion this is a close fight that i can't wait to see!

There is also a prize on offer for the winning trainer between Freddy Roach and Floyd Mayweather Senior. Whoevers fighter wins will get a prize. There has been some funny rhymes and banter from Floyd Mayweather Senior towards Freddy Roach, with Freddy Roach staying quiet and laughing it off.

all in all, everything about this fight is now heating up. The fight isn't even that far away, just a matter of weeks! Freddy Roach has said this will be a 3 round fight, predicting a quick knockout of Ricky Hatton. Somehow i don't think the fight will be over in 3 rounds for either fighter.

David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Confirmed For June 2009

David Haye Vs Wladimir Klitschko Confirmed For June 2009

Location of the fight has not been disclosed yet, but it is definitely in Europe somewhere.

After a long wait the fight is signed, sealed, and confirmed. In David Hayes opinion the reason this fight has took so long to be made official is because the Klitschko brothers are scared of Haye. To be honest i think this could be true in some ways, i don't think there actually scared, but maybe just a little concerned at David Hayes brash talk, power punching, and domination at cruiser weight. I think the Klitschko brothers see Haye as a real threat. And rightly so, David Haye has the tools and mentality to beat them both, although he will need to be at his best to beat Vitali.

Daivd Haye has promised to knock out Wladimir, and Wladimir has said Haye is too loud and has insulted him too much, he said he will shut Hayes mouth with his fists.

There are a few ways David Haye can win this fight. First one is to not allow Wladimir to settle into the fight and steam him from the first bell, pressure him all the way. Wladimir does have problems with this type of fighter.

Daivd Haye could also adopt the "Tyson style" slipping, ducking, and closing the distance, then letting lose some huge hooks and overhand punches.

One thing is for sure, David Haye has to close the distance and get past that huge arm length of Wladimirs, if he can't do that he will not win this fight. Wladimir Klitschko is just too good at jabbing, keeping you at a distance and staying safe.

Needless to say, all Wladimir has to do is his usual style of fighting, safety first. If he does this successfully he's won this fight easily. The only problem for Wladimir is his punch resistance, if he gets caught with a wild punch while playing it safe he will probably be in big trouble.

Personally i think this is a close fight which depends highly on what type of fight tactics both fighters bring on the night. A great fight, not to be missed.
