David Haye vs. Mark de Mori - January 16th 2016

[wesshaw1985]

who wins and what channel gets the privilege of showing the fight?

[ElJefe]

Be shocked if this goes more than 2 rounds.

[reggaereggae]

David Haye W Ko whenever he wants Mark de Mori.

I wouldn't be surprised if it only lasts a minute. De Mori is aggressive but short armed, shorter than Haye, holds his left low and his chin up.... Tailor made for Haye.

[Paullow]

Anyone seen the undercard for this?

Goodwin was asked to provide it and was requested to do 2 6 rounders and 2 4 rounders, but bar the main event (which is shite but has a big name) if this was a normal Goodwin card then it would be among his worst - it really is terrible.

[Nightmare Roy]

Anyone know how the ticket sales have gone? Massive venue, expensive shite fights can't see it doing well at all.

[gazza8]

if Haye is even half the fighter he was he blows him away in under 4 rounds

[Nightmare Roy]

Saw a snippet of him training on sky news earlier, he looked in good nick, 1 or 2nd for me unless he carries him for a few like he did with Audley.

Knockoot? Ha'way man, I'm a Mackem, it hurts my eyes seeing you type that.

After three and half years out and major shoulder surgery, this is the perfect comeback fight. He needs to find out what he's got left. I'm going to see it and I'm really looking forward to it.

You gonna go in for like 9.30 / 10pm mate or are you getting there early for the following must see action?

Tony Dodson 31 8 1 vs Richard Horton 9 5 0 (8 rounds)

Kay Prospere 6 0 0 vs Lee Connelly 4 16 1 (6 rounds)

I know the undercard ain't great, but I'm really looking forward to seeing Billy Dib and the main event.

Yeah, fair enough fella and the return of Haye is a big event and even better if you are a big fan. That Dib fight is pretty random though (must be for Aussie TV) and it would have been nicer to have a better opponent who hadn;t lost 6 of last 8 fights, stopped at English title level last time out and lost every round to Robbie Turley. I'll tune in (assuming TV pick it up) but will probably just be for the main event. Hope he looks good as it will be another significant player in an improving and wide open division.

Hope you enjoy it man but, although I'd be intersted in seeing Dib I've little interest in seeing him in such a shocking miss-match.

I'd like to see the card, more to see how Haye and Lopes look rather than any hope of seeing a single competitive fight.

Haye sometime in the first three but De Mori won't win a ten second stretch of any round and Haye will end it when he feels confident enought to commit.

No idea where it'll end up. Got a feeling it's gonna be random!

[wesshaw1985]

Haye on catchphrase on itv now.
Wonder if louis walsh will be at the big fight?

[Nightmare Roy]

Well this poll is a real 50/50 split.

[Cyclops]

If Haye was in his prime this wouldn't go a round. I watched De Mori's highlight reel he is rubbish. He doesn't even look like he punches that hard despite people making out he's some kind of banger. If Haye can't knock him out he should pack it in.

I'll watch it and it would be nice if Haye could come back at even 70% of what he was. Nobody sees Haye as a worldbeater anymore so maybe he'll fight hungry like he did at cruiserweight? I know it's unlikely but that's why he had a fanbase to start with: because he was an exciting fighter. A Joshua fight would be fantastic.

I had tickets for Haye-Fury and don't really care for that fight anymore. I used to think it would be a rockem sockem affair that went 7 rounds at most with Haye coming out the victor but now I can see basically Haye-Wlad 2, Fury on points in a tedious affair.

[ILikeBeer]

Mark de Mori by brutal first round KO.

[MarkMcBurney]

Mark de Mori by brutal first round KO.

[Syntax Error]

My money is on David Haye by devastating pull out at the last minute, but if I am wrong & he actually turns up for this contest, I think he will win by stoppage.

[MrJasonM]

If Haye is anywhere near his previous level, this is a very comfortable nights work for him.

4th round KO for me.

[northern]

I would like to see it go the distance, Haye to dominate throughout and take the decision just to prove he's not lost any of his ability in his time away from the ring and could finish it at anytime.

but I have to give de Mori the punchers chance he's tko/ko'd 3 of his last 4 opponents but hasn't really fought anyone at haye's level yet, Haye by decision to work off the rust

I don't think going the distance with Mark De Mori will be showing anybody he's not lost any of his ability. It will almost show people he has lost nearly all of it

Your probably right, I just see this as a way for him to ease back into the world level, I just see beating de Mori convincingly over 12 and I mean making it a one sided beating along the way would be the most convincing way but knowing how Haye fights it'll be over a lot sooner

[JiveTurkey]

Haye within 5. Might get a couple of rounds under the belt then end it.
