Interviewer: " Just to repeat myself, Chagaev-Valuev will be shown on Setanta...WILL YOU BE WATCHING THE FIGHT?"

David Haye: "Oh....er...HELL YEAH!"

Ha Ha, that was classic!! Wish they'd used the money they paid for that for Froch - Taylor instead? (I realise I should probably have got over the fact its not on live tv by now)

Who???

I actually agree with Ryan that the Small fight wouldn't have helped him and at this stage of his career he should look for a bigger opportunity. But Konecny over Small is not really what I would have envisaged.....

If this is the case...then why take the Small fight in the first place? Surely he knew beating Small would get him nowhere to start with then he would've vacated without the fight being arranged? Doesn't add up to me.

If this had been the other way round and a FW boxer pulled a stunt like this then there would have been no end of comments about it on here...

Thx BP...I got a few bucks on the over. Good luck if you are wagering! I just found a stream on the fight.

Cheers, I got a little on Appleby outright...

Oh yeah, ahem, good first round, Lindsay takes it, looks quicker

lindsay rd 1 appleby seem s overwhelmed

appleby came forward throwing sloppily , martin far more quick and focused. Appleby connected a couple of times. rd 2 i say draw

Lindsays warmed into this a lot quicker and looks to have found his timing from the offset. Appleby looks like he's up for a fight though and I can see him getting more into this as the fight goes on.

First 2 to Lindsay

2-0 Lindsay.

Appleby just swinging and missing. Needs to compose himself and establish his jab

Round 2: Lindsay looks much quicker, giving a bit of a lesson to Appleby. Landed some nice left hooks, body and head and a nice right hand. Appleby looks stiff and tentative - landed nothing real clean.

Rd3 , appleby seems to be settling now lindsay on the back foot got to lindsay

Does anyone notice Lindsay is quite ragged with his shots? My prediction based on first rounds would be that Appleby will take over and get this late. He looks more thoughtful with his shots and doesn't waste energy....

Appleby Round, 29-28 Lindsay

Round 3: Appleby amps up the aggression, forces Lindsay back and lands some nice body shots. Appleby's round
2-1 Lindsay.

appleby looking a little better but very sloppy. and slow.

great action fight but 3-1 lindsay, not impressed by paul

Round 4 linds started well apple came back its heating up nicely, appleby hit lindsay on the back of the head not sure wheter the ref took a point sound on computer is broke, appleby may have got that rd

appleby got a busted nose. Lindsay's round there for me Rd4 39-37 Lindsay

Good fight so far, this work rate must be taking its toll....

could you give me that link ur using

pace slowed a bit in R5. scrapppy stuff. poss just Appleby there 48-47 Lindsay

I'm watching on Setanta.....I would say Rd 5 even. Both took some heavy single shots....

3-1-1 Lindsay

2-2-1

Appleby will be hoping Lindsay's gonna start tiring soon. He's set a hell of a pace these first few rounds
