I think Haye still has the punch but looked old, slow and cumbersome, Fury and Joshua will show how much he has declined if either of them fight him. Briggs is a brilliant entertainer in his greying years and looking forward to him against Haye should supply some fun in the build-up. It was free so can't complain to much.
Worst televised promotion ever?
Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
Well, Dave's production of the boxing was a farce I absolutely loved it, I haven't laughed out loud like that for ages
As for the boxing, the 2 fights I tuned in for went as expected.

Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
Absolutely awful production and pointless shit music with Lethal Bizzle and the National anthems !
SURELY THIS CAN'T BE GOOD FOR BOXING and Haye should be smart enough to realise that. Also why employ people to commentate on a sport they nothing about these presenters were a joke how did they get the job ?
The whole thing made me embarrassed to be a boxing fan and was clearly aimed at pinheads.

Agreed.Fat Git wrote:The whole Tyson vs Savarese bill was awful. I remember for the first time watching a night of boxing and thinking what a waste of time it was, I could have been doing something more productive with my time, not just that fight, the whole card was shite.
The whole thing was centred around Tyson in the UK again, but it was total crap.
Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
That must be the worse result of the night, allowing that smug essex prick to be even more smug

I fell asleep pished after drowning my sorrows at my team getting pumped in the cup. Sounds as if I didn't miss much.

Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
Dave have very little expertise in either live events or Boxing in general. It showed badly.
I could forgive the technical glitches and piss poor presenting if they had at least shown a couple decent scraps. Yet the only two decent fights on the card only got 3 rounds of tv time.
Terrible, terrible production, i hope Dave sort their act out before they consider showing boxing (or any live event for that matter) in future.

Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
I just showed my lass and daughter Lethal Bizzles totally dench performance, even they were cringing, give me balding middle aged rockers from Germany any day of the week
Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
It was REALLY bad, cringeworthy.
Haye's become a caricature of himself and the whole thing had a cheesy WWE feel to it. It just stopped short of someone coming in the ring smashing chairs on someone's back, it was 100% shambles from the terrible opponent, poor undercard and awful production.
Does not reflect well on boxing as a professional, credible sport. David Haye is a joke now, a circus.

Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
It does give you respect for promoters like Warren and Hearn though doesn't it? They have some rally good cards coming up with strength in depth on their cards, while Haye put up 3 walk overs in him, Briggs and Fournier.
Hopefully this is the final time we have to watch a crap Haye card as he is a genuinely exciting boxer. At least Briggs might last more than a round or won't just fall over after a lead jab.

I woke up thinking the whole thing was some kind of joke
Still enjoyed watching the social media as it was happening, the casual Haye fans realising the farce

Re: Worst televised promotion ever?
it was pretty shite
what a waste of three hours
its like the production team have thought 'lets fill three hours with your typical Sun reader would expect to find.
a dumb blonde reading tweets, dizzee rascal, pundits completely lying about everyone's records, achievements and potential...and adverts every 3 minutes
utter wank
