BOXING SATURDAY (David Haye vs. Nikolai Valuev)

TheDailyBumbler [Edit] [Delete] 74 replies 15:38, 7 November '09

Valuev, with a head like a fossilized egg and knuckles like medieval bollocks...I think the Soviet Bear is going to strip Hayes gloves with the ferocity of a bear peeling the upstream salmom.
Mart? Your opinion? I know you're an avid spectator of the boxing battlefield.

  • I don't usually like boxing

    in fact I never watch it but this fight has got my attention. It won't exactly be a conventional boxing match, the guy's 7ft 2", 7ft fucking 2 :o

    Valuev on points or a 7th round haye ko

    Splenic_Artery | 7 Nov '09, 15:54 | X
  • Valuev by KO

    Not that I know shit about boxing. Hayes' game is going to be about trying to get Valuev to lash out and I just can't see it working.

    DanielKelly | 7 Nov '09, 16:28 | X
    • ^^^ Defiantely not this

      Most KO's are achieved by persistant punishment to the cranium. I doubt Haye's LAT's could cope with the stretching required for constant head shots.

      TheDailyBumbler @DanielKelly | 7 Nov '09, 17:00 | X
      • Mart

        I know fuck all about boxing.

        Is Haye actually any good...or is he only good because he's one of the best of a bad bunch?

        twosips @Martbowski | 7 Nov '09, 17:08 | X
        • In any other fight, Haye would clinch it

          It's just the enormity of his contender that's going to fuck him. And the fact that Valuev has a surprisingly amount of speed for someone with a sluggers build.

          TheDailyBumbler @Martbowski | 7 Nov '09, 17:09 | X
          • I know that.

            Didn't really answer my question though. Just wandering if Haye and the beast man thing are actually good.

            twosips @TheDailyBumbler | 7 Nov '09, 17:26 | X
            • I was partaking in a dialogue with Mart

              Then you chipped in. Which is fine, but don't get snarky when I miss your post.

              TheDailyBumbler @twosips | 7 Nov '09, 17:37 | X
              • I don't know what snarky means

                but I just thought you were replying to me seeing as it was directly below my post. This forum layout still confuses me.

                twosips @TheDailyBumbler | 7 Nov '09, 17:39 | X
          • Lol.

            Can you blame him? He's lugging round 21st of anatomical cargo.

            TheDailyBumbler @Martbowski | 7 Nov '09, 17:39 | X
          • ?

            I mean Valuev to win. Have I used boxing terminlogy wrong? Shit.

            DanielKelly @TheDailyBumbler | 7 Nov '09, 17:26 | X
            • Sorry mate, I read it wrong.

              I thought you meant the Russian was going to get sparked.

              TheDailyBumbler @DanielKelly | 7 Nov '09, 17:40 | X
          • Anybody know the ACTUAL starting time of the fight

            i've heard all sorts of times, most recently 9.30.

            Haye has to imagine himself as fighting the big boss at the end of a level on a video game, going in and giving lots of punches then stepping back in the corner to recover health.

            • Trying to work out who Valuev looks like

              Someone offered up a union of Neanderthal Man and the burly ex-Czech striker Jan Koller.

              simon_t | 7 Nov '09, 22:32 | X
              • i think he looks like zidane.

                • must agree actually

                  but then again i enjoyed that all italian champions league final a few years back when it ended 0-0 and everyone called it a yawn fest - i saw it as a tactical battle of the highest order.

                  I enjoyed Haye bouncing around and making Valuev look so bog standard.

              not sure about the overall result. feels like a moral victory though

              neither of them deserved anything

            • Haye promised a spectacular victory.

              All he gave us was a victory, really.
              Well done to him, though. Just to go 12 rounds with Goliath takes a huge pair of steel balls.

              Stiive | 7 Nov '09, 23:00 | X
            • Like I've said, I'm no boxing expert

              but I thought that was a pretty dull match. That last round won it deservedly for Haye but I was surprised at how unadventurous he was in the first five rounds. Where was that knockout you promised us all, David?

              Boxing experts: was that a relatively poor match? Or am I just being a n00b?

              DanielKelly | 7 Nov '09, 23:03 | X
              • Cool

                I thought, given my support of Chelsea, that I knew a victory following an uninspiring performance when I saw one. Just wanted some confirmation...

                DanielKelly @kissinginkansas | 7 Nov '09, 23:13 | X
              • it was poor

                but you can't blame him for being cautious really. He said he hurt his hands in the second round so couldn't go on the attack so had to be cautious.

                twosips | 7 Nov '09, 23:05 | X
              • Why was everyone expecting catherine wheels?

                It was a heavyweight bout. It was a heavyweight bout that engaged the pundits with technically astute tacticality from Haye, and slow moving mechanical jabs from Captain Forehead and his befuddled stomach.

                TheDailyBumbler | 7 Nov '09, 23:16 | X
                • Stuff like this?

                  http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/8340658.stm

                  Again, I can't stress how little I usually follow boxing. I was suckered in by the hype and didn't realise slightly-violent chess was the normal order of things. Maybe other people didn't either.

                  DanielKelly @TheDailyBumbler | 7 Nov '09, 23:18 | X
                  • he was hardly gonna turn round and say

                    "i'm gonna teach Valuev a lesson.........and win on a narrow points decision" - that would have hardly put the frighteners on Valuev would it?

                    • Dunno, pal

                      Bumbler asked a question, I did my best to provide a reasonable answer. Not much more to it for me.

                      That said, Valuev didn't trash talk.

                      DanielKelly @twosips | 7 Nov '09, 23:24 | X
                  • ''slightly-violent chess''

                    That's a perfect description of these heavyweight bouts.

                    Look at the smaller weight divisions if you want kinistetic rapsody.

              • I love technical boxers

                i admire someone who has a job to do and does it. It's methodical. It's clinical. Haye probably couldn't knock out a 7ft2 beast...who can? He did what he had to.

                  • Haye

                    was brilliant tonight and moved with speed and reactions of a welterweight, when he rocked Valuev in the 12th the pub i was in erupted in applause, i have no voice left. What more could you want??..... Ok, so a pic of Haye standing over a KO'd Valuev on the front cover of every paper would have been nice but it was never going to happen.

                    • so much

                      that little stuttering faltering stagger in the 12th....absolutely priceless...and then he shook his head as if to say...'nah...that didn't just happen'...but we'd all seen him with the jelly legs. brilliant. i was just so impressed with his stamina...if that's his first time going the distance....to look so sharp and so quick when ducking and weaving after 12...especially to keep getting out of the corners so well. and there was a real thunderbolt of a hook that almost took haye's head off in around the tenth i think and he was sharp as fuck in getting out the way....good stuff. boy deserves all the acolades he's gonna get i rekon.

                      best best is some moody youtube footage....can't seen any news channel having it
