Right, can someone clear this up, bcuz i'm getting itchy about the whole thing.

secondsout.com say that the Haye V Thompson bill is Sept 11. Is that the same night as Takaloo V Alexander?

It wouldl be an outrage if they both clash on the same night. If they were done on different days, both promoters would make a fortune.

It's september 10th surely, and yes it's the same night. However, the Haye Thompson clash is as far as I am aware only being shown with highlights.

I'll bet that Thompson or Haye pulls out with injury

I would put bigger money on Alexander-Tak falling through.

When Carl Thompson turned pro, David Haye was...seven!

And Carl turned pro 'late'.

Am I the only one who thinks "The Cat" has a chance in this one?

I give Carl Thompson virtually no chance. He's old and easy to hit.

Haye boxed flawlessly last time out. Nevermind if Arthur Williams is shot, he couldn't do anything with the lad and there was nothing hidden in Haye's perfomance that suggested to me that Thompson can fair any better.

Sure if Thompson nails Haye he could knock him out. But I'm not expecting Haye to get nailed or anything close to.

If Thompson is still there after 4 or 5 rounds, the odds shift his way. The younger man might start to get a bit frustrated, if Carl somehow hangs in there.
Haye might start making mistakes, and it'll only take one.......

For the first time in Haye's pro career, we're going to find out what he's made of. Thompson might have used up his nine lives but, if he does go down, he's gonna go down fighting.

No.

I think there is a fair chance of an upset, but if pushed would back Haye.

If pushed back Haye...what?
