one of the things i was worried about him going to maloney was that his progressed would be slowed down, but fighting a tough jorneyman like makhankov and then possibly fighting salam in january doesnt look like he will be held back to much

Do you think it will be an exciting fight? Remember when Haye went the 12 for the first time with Abdoul; hopefully they don't adopt that approach again.

Anyone who's boxed for the WBC CIS and Slovenian Boxing Bureau (CISBB) super middleweight title is alright with me. :D

Exactly, at least he has fought for reputable belts.

As for Haye-Abdoul, didn't they say he was only to throw two right hands a round or soemthing? The one and only time Haye will stink the place out I reckon!

Looks like he'll give Groves some rounds, hope Sky screen it, the ex WBO heavy champ Liakhovich is on the undercard too - not that I can remember him ever being champion..
