that was a great Mcflurry of punches there

[CharlesListon]

Ronnie Mac is worse than Nick Halling.

[Neil Gee]

I've got no idea who won that. Too close to call. Now comes the deluge of adverts. Goodnight.

I didn't think haye looked that slow. Maybe not as fast as before but that was nearly 4 years ago. Yes di mori was well overmatched, but he was hardly likely to go in with a beast on his return, and it was free to air. I'd like to see him back very quickly, I think it's unfair to judge too much based on 2minutes 11 seconds of one sided action.

Haye was as fast as he needed to be. No point running laps around an almost stationary opponent. He got de Mori out of there without raising a sweat in 2 minutes. A waist of time tying to dissect it really.

Precisely

[CharlesListon]

1200.

Two zeros?

Thats as shocking as DeMori being a top 10 contender.

Im happy to see that Kugan Cassius has got some more acting work off of the popularity of IFL tv. He was good in that cadbury's creme egg ad there.

I'm sweating with shock after tonight.

1200 quid for a ticket for that and Dempsey's haircut.

good to hear the city slickers are doing ok for themselves - not !

[tijuana1]

Who next for dodson ? Any opinions ? MBC

Good to see the dynamic of this thread.

One second someone posts that Dave should be showing undercard fights, not interviewing celebs. Then they show the undercard and lefty is in there whining that it's gonna be boring.

The more boxing that Dave shows the better as far as I'm concerned, if they wanna come in and show small hall stuff I'd be delighted.

You do realise I talk on behalf of myself and not as amalgamation of the forum? We're not one collective voice.

Hence I mentioned 'the dyamic of this thread' to confirm I was referring to that and not you as an individual.

Bit of a shambolic production, it needed someone of Dempsey's gravitas to hold it together. Good interview with Haye post fight as well.

Fantastic to hear Ronald McIntosh commentating.

Haye looked well to bulked up and slow. Thought both his handspeed and foot speed looked slow. His legs are massive now.

I don't see the point of Haye being bulked up. Think he can KO anyone at 15 stone.... perhaps its fears about his own strength and ability to absorb shots. Seems like most of his weight gain was on his legs and neck (as well as chest also)..... He was always going to KO De Mori in what ever round he wanted to, but I hope Shane will watch clips of Haye 2016 and compare to Haye 2012 where he looked so much quicker vs Chisora.... I don't think its age, I think its the weight.

Maybe the weight IS the age prehaps. Harder to shift at 35

What a crock of utter shite.

[jamesmcdonnell]

Idrid elba....really...? Fekk off

[reggaereggae]

Idrid elba....really...? Fekk off

I didnt even recognise him... I thought they were interviewing some tramp...

At least they didn't interview Benedict Cumberbitch....he would probably start whining about how we have to take on more Syrian refugees.....

Desperate stuff filling time on a dud event. Who were these muppets who filled the arena. Eccentric millionnaire homeless people. Demori didnt even offer the slightest resustance. Im sorry but he came to fall over at the first provication. Utter bollocks.

De Mori offered nothing, but to be fair he did nt fall over he was properly ko'd.

You could see what a different type of crowd it was. Loads of non boxing fans and well off trendies and celebs. I am not sure why anyone who knows his boxing would pay to see that sh1te

Well you moaned about whining whilst simultaneously whining. It was amusing.

[Old Jack J]

I thought Haye looked OK. There was nothing slow about the counter overhand right that did the damage. It was accurate too.

His footwork looked slow but I think it's harsh to criticise haye on that whole 'event'.

He fought a (dodgy) top 10 fighter.
He won with a highlight reel KO in the first round.
It was free on the telly.
He sold a lot of tickets and made the event a success.
He called out Fury and Joshua.


Not overshabby really.

That's not the case for Haye; David has to eat more in order to bulk up.

There's no need for him to be so heavy; it robs of his main assets which are his speed & athleticism.

He was ranked no 10. It's not Hayes fault is it. It's an easy 1st fight which will get him a decent ranking. I didn't say he deserved to be top 10. From Hayes point of view its perfect isn't it?
