He does have some heart i would have to admit that, he could of found a soft spot on the canvas night i saw him, but he didn't, have to give him that.NorthEastBoxingFan wrote:oh well fair play at least you're qualifying your comment with an eye witness account.
i've only seen Conway the once but it was a 10 or 12 ronder at Hartlepool a couple years ago for the IBO version of world title if I remember correctly....I knew nothing about him but gathered he was not a world beater and also that most of his fights were behind, rather than in front of him judging by the 30 -odd fights on his record......but he put on a good show of boxing, fitness and heart that night against an Eastern European lad who was tough.
That's why you're comment surprised me a bit
Yeah, I was amazed to look on his record later and see 12 rd IBO fights, even if it is a meaningless title. Seemed pretty ludicrous. A pointd win over Steve Robinson... that seriously depressed me that day.

Setanta predictably are still playing out Calzaghe-Kessler so we need to be patient and wait for the big one at 8.45.
Anyone know who the commentary team will be? Maybe Setanta will have Rawling there (and probably Duke as Woodhall is in the studio). I am imagining it will be the King Vision cast which means "Colonel" Bob Sheridan for our viewing and listening pleasure

maybe, but we all know about haye's stamina problems. they're not as bad as when he fought thomson but he's still to prove that he can last the distance wheras mormeck hasAbbo wrote:If this was Mormeck vs Cunningham, we'd be saying that about Mormeck.Fat Gav wrote:i think if haye dosen't get him out in five he's in trouble.
Neither guy can go hammers for 12 rounds. Haye 1-3 for me.

For me Haye wins before the eight round via a combination of youth, speed and heavy right hands.
C'mon Haye!
My prediction's Mormeck in 9. Really hope I'm wrong. C'mon Haye!TerribleTerry wrote:Good point.Abbo wrote:If this was Mormeck vs Cunningham, we'd be saying that about Mormeck.Fat Gav wrote:i think if haye dosen't get him out in five he's in trouble.

What concerns me with Haye is, seeing him look fatigued even when he hasn't had to work that hard. A couple of times I've felt that just carrying his frame around is demanding for him.
Mormeck might not be able to go all out for 12 rounds but I can't believe that he would run out of steam before Haye.

Good point. These sanctioning bodies work in mysterious ways.steve689 wrote:He has knowledge but is always growling and overplays the action a bit sometimes. On a side note, how did M'Baye get a WBC eliminator shot coming off the back of a loss?chesh wrote:He never pauses for breath!steve689 wrote:I was right, it's the colonel![]()
Not this again. This was Haye's 10th fight. He's a different fighter now. He's much more conservative, timing his punches and conserving power. JMM will be a tough fight, but we've seen Haye last the rounds on three occasions, going 12 once.overhand_right wrote:Mormecks last fight was an all out war with a puncher, and he prevailled.
Last time Haye was in an all out war with a puncher, he was gassed after rd 1 and stitched into the canvas by rd 5. Haye was looking knackered v Frogomeni for fricks sake.
Mormeck will out-gut the Wannabe Playboy.
Haye was naive and paid for it against Thompson - that will never happen again.
