No problem,it's cool bro! Povetkin was eager to fight Wlad but Teddy Atlas would not let him, knowing that Povetkin was not ready and Wlad would destroy him. Vitaly wanted nothing more than to put Gaye to sleep for all of the crap that Gaye did to the brothers. Gaye said he wanted to fight Vitaly but you and I know deep down he wanted no part of Vitaly. Gaye was asking way too much money for being a loser, the brothers do not need Gaye.
Rematch set for July 14, in London Upton Park. Report: Haye-Chisora fight in July David Haye and Dereck Chisora will go head to head at Upton Park on July 14 in a fight sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation, according to reports. Neither of the British heavyweight fighters - who hit the headlines for their conduct at the press conference after Chisora's WBC heavyweight title challenge against Vitali Klitschko in Munich on February 18 - hold a current British Boxing Board of Control licence. Chisora's licence was withdrawn in March following his involvement in a number of controversial incidents before and after the Olympiahalle fight. The Londoner slapped his opponent at the weigh-in and spat water at the Ukrainian's brother Wladimir just prior to the contest - which he lost on points - before becoming embroiled in a brawl with Haye at the post-fight press conference. Haye, meanwhile, relinquished his licence when he officially retired last October - three months after losing his WBA title to Wladimir Klitschko in Hamburg. However, the grudge match looks set to go ahead after seemingly having been given the green light by the Luxembourg authorities. Chisora's manager Frank Warren - who is due to make a "major announcement" at Upton Park later this morning - said in The Sun: "Before anyone starts screaming, let me point out the Luxembourg boxing association was formed in 1922 - seven years before the British Board. "They have given their approval for the bout and it will go on at Upton Park under their jurisdiction. "As fully fledged members of the European Boxing Union, that is what they are entitled to do. "I never said Dereck shouldn't be punished, but the board here withdrew his licence - they did not ban him so he can apply to any boxing board." http://www.espnstar.com/other-sports/news/detail/item799358/Report:-Haye-Chisora-fight-in-July/
As much as a freak show this fight is, I have to admit I want to see this fight and hoping for a knockout or two.
German ARD not showing the rematch because they don't want to promote the violent image of these guys. Idiots, would've attracted a ****load of viewers, given the history.
For us in stateside, the fight will be on Epix.com @ 4pm Est . Gaye came in at his lightest weight at 210, almost a cruiser. Chisora is much bigger at 247. This fight is like a match up of goon v thug, I hope Gaye does not run away like his last fight. I think Chisora will deck him if Gaye decides to fight.
It's funny Haye came to the press conf. with a beer bottle. Who the heck let him in with that? These guys are heavyweight boxers, but dam!! that doesn't mean you neglect security. I don't care much to watch boxing, but im gonna tune in for this lol.
Awesome fight, Haye just sick. There's no excuse for any of the Klitschkos not to accept a 2nd fight, he's the only one that can beat them.
No he's not. Did you not see his embarrassing performance against Wlad? The Klits are just on another level compared to others in their division.
http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=215491&highlight=Seth+Mitchell No doubt -- some fight vids in that thread.
He had a broken toe and shouldn't have fought under that condition. Wlad didn't dominate him one bit, barely had any effective hits. Fight could've went either way.
I completely slept on this dude, great fights and power. Don't know if that's enough to beat Klitschko though, think you need more speed and boxing experience for that.
Seth definitely needs more experience, but he has a great style to fight the Brothers -- he stays so low for a 250 pound guy and just kills with the body shots. The Brothers are both so tall that a power body attack is the way to win against them. Everything he throws has so much power though -- he is just a natural puncher who gets all his mass behind his shots. In the second vid when he KO's Witherspoon it should be noted that Witherspoon's only 2 loses were to guys who went on to fight one of the brothers for the championship. They both lost but it shows that Witherspoon is an excellent measuring stick of HW talent.
