Anybody into boxing on here?

Can't wait for this fight to happen. There has been big hype about this fight for ages, will it be an anti climax?

I'm unsure on who will win or who i want to win. I know Haye is English/British and i should want to him to win but he's such an arrogant twat with it!

Who's your money on......?

Ill go for the millwall fan on points

Difficult fight to call in terms of result and my support.

Klitschko is clearly a decent bloke, but Haye is fantastic to watch fight and Vladdy is distinctly not.

I want to see Haye win, mostly so he ends up fighting Vitali before retiring, which would be an even better fight than this one could be.

As for the result, I see a late KO, but not 100% sure who for, leaning Klitschko I think.

not really in to boxing, haven't watched a fight in years but this one's got me interested

What time is 'glove off' predicted for?

I can see Haye getting inside his reach like he did with Valuev but can't help but think Klitschko will be faster. I think it will be a long fight (get your moneys worth and all hopefully) Maybe round 7-8 KO?

Haye is very exciting to watch - why does he have to be such a big headed twat with it though?!

Around 10 or 11 isn't it?

Have not been so excited  for a fight in a long long time.

Got money on haye to win in the last 3 rounds

The heavyweight division has been shite for some time but this has captured my imagination. For all his cockiness Haye appears to be a nice guy outside the ring and all that bad mouthing is just part of the show. As a Brit i'd like to see him win but have a feeling he's going to get his head knocked off. He has to get inside and fight if he's going to knock out Klitschko. He can't run like with Valuev whch means he's gonna have to take some big'ns. Klitschko within 8 rounds for me.

Haye outside the ring is a decent enough bloke. Don't think you can genuinly go really far in boxing and be a total nice guy

Yeah i see your point! It's all for the show. Personally, not a big fan of it but it's creating the excitement that everybody wants! Can't wait.

How is everybody watching it?

I'm off to a BBQ, then down the pub for a few then to get back and watch the fight!

Naz was the most arrogant of the lot...but by far my favourite boxer...

Im having a bbq with the lads, and watching it at mine in glorious hd

really???!!! where was my fucking invite you cunt

Haye's grown on me over the course of his career. During his Cruiserweight days and before his fight with Valuev I couldn't stand him but seeing him on various shows since, he comes across as actually a decent guy.

Adam Booth on the other hand...

I can see him beating Klitschko but he has to make sure it doesn't go the distance. He's in Germany and they will always favour Klitschko on points.

I'm going Haye in the 5th. KO.

Hayes weighted in at 15'3.

Klit is 17'5

I like Haye's attitude, he's a very hard working boxer and he tries to add a bit of theatre to the bouts. It makes a refreshing change to see a boxer in that weight division who isn't an overweight blob as well.

To give Haye credit, he's said that he'll fight Klitschko in his back yard, well Germany, if to get the fight on as it seems Klitschko's afraid to fight anywhere else. Haye's got to knock him out to win, which I expect him to do, around round 8.

Grew up on Ali, Hagler, Sugar Ray, Roberto Duran Barry McGuigan Tyson, Bruno etc. The gory years... Will definitely be watching this. No idea who`s going to win but you got to support the Brit haven`t you

Massive weight advantage there! I still can't call it at the moment. Klitschko normally bullies his opponents down over many rounds. Haye needs to nip it in the bud early! Could an explosive first few rounds!

this is on a German terrestial channel,its got to be free to view somwhere dont you think?

hope so Yo as fuck paying.

Try here think  they'll put the proper channel listing on tomorrow

http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=121555&part=sports        (http://www.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=121555&part=sports)

That's the way the German media works...which is why this fight nearly didn't happen in the first place (because the UK media rights are more lucrative and Klitschko wanted a share).  Over there, they stick events like this on terrestrial and get TV audiences of (guessing here) 20 or 30 million - and make the money via advertising.  Over here, it's more concentrated - charging a small band of fanatics through the nose and getting anyone else who's interested down the pub.  I think I prefer their way of doing things, to be honest.

If Haye is going to win it has to be by KO, Klitscko will be landing enough jabs round by round to take it on points if goes the distance.

To close to call but i bloody hope Haye wins, the Brothers have had it far too easy in recent years.

Agree has to be by knock out.  I wouldn't leave it down to the judges out there.

As proved by the fight there last week...

Clitoris to win on points for me -Haye to ponce about like he did with Valuev but a) he'll never get a decision out there and b) Clitty will work harder than the Russian lump

He ponced around v Valuev because he fractured his hand in the second round (or was it the third).  When he went for it in the last he nearly knocked the big man off his feet.

Haye in 6.

I can't help but feel Haye is setting himself up for a huge fall from grace with his attitude in recent weeks. I know a lot of it is for show but he's put more pressure on himself to impress now otherwise he's going to look like a complete dick if he doesn't win.

Klitschko has the height, weight and reach advantage. I do however think he'll be slower than Haye and will try and wear Haye down with jabs each round. Haye will have a game plan and it will be to knock him out and counter punch probably. Very close one to call but I think Haye will win personally.

To be fair, this is the biggest thing in his life, he probably doesnt care if he looks a dick or not, just wants to give it everything he's got.

His antics are not very sporting, but he'll only have one chance to do this.

He's a flipping Millwall fan, what do people expect.  I also think mentally Haye needs to dislike his opponents, can't get into the ring thinking, 'this fella's alright', he wants to go in there wanting to finish him off.  At the end of the fight we all know how Haye will be, although to a certain extent he'll have to keep it going because he wants to beat Vitali too.

Really looking forwrd to this and can't call it. Also not sure whether to pay sky, or hope for a decent link(the groves vs degale one was top notch)

Pay for it you tight cunt at least you wont lose it, like if a stream cut Out

fuck that

Lots of brits behaving badly here - looks like the 'ladies' of the Reeperbahn will be busy tonight

I'm a tight cunt and I paid for it.  Nowt worse than getting into the fight and a dodgy link going down.

You wont get a dodgy link with it being on normal german telly.

just commentary we wont understand

Depends how you define dodgy link.  If you are wanting HD, Dolby Digital and English commentary then anything else is a dodgy link.

Why do you need commentary? Are you blind?

Haye has got a surprising amount of pace for a heavyweight. If you look back at the likes of Lennox Lewis they look so heavy footed compared Haye.

1. his antics are what sells this fight to more than the hardcore fans - adding a couple of 00s to his paycheque
2. why should he care about a fall from grace when he's going to retire in october anyway, has won a heavyweight championship and used to be unified cruiserweight world champ. not a lot too worry about

Exactly. It's part and parcel of modern boxing.

No but it's nice to know whats being said.

Boxers pretend to like football to get people through the door.I'm not that arsed about the fight if im honest.I think Haye will probably get destroyed,but I hope he wins.He's not paticularly likeable but top sportsmen are generally twats aren't they?

cant be bothered to read the thread but i really want Haye to get knocked the fuck out.

shush you

I could've been a contender,I could've been a someone, caught up in the rat race and feeling like a no one. Could've been me in the papers with the money and the girls, I could've been the heavyweight champion of the world.

Likewise, will anyone be watching online? Link me up?? :D

is anyone heading into town to watch this?

X 2. Just paid for it. Only the second time I've bothered. The other one was a Prince Naseem fight years ago. It does help of course that it's not in the middle of the night. Haye has been acting like a right jerk in the build up whereas Klitschko seems like a pretty cool guy. I therefore hope that Klitschko kicks the shit out of Haye.

I'm no expert, but I don't think kicking is permitted.

I'm gonna shell out for it.
 got a load of food in for a bbq, and i've just had a nice 12/1 winner come in to pay for it.

Shit! And I've just paid £14.95 for it :crash:

If it pisses with rain blame me and arriba cos I'll be getting the barby out as well 8)

If anyone wants to invite me round for free boxing and bbq, you're more than welcome  :toocool:

First time I've paid for a fight too.  Just couldn't resist.  I'm hoping this one will live up to the hype, it's about time a fight did.

ditto, i won't eat any of the meat but i will help myself to cheese and baps (snigger)

I can just see Haye losing this. Like that DeGale bloke did recently.

DeGale is a complete knobjockey, I actually thought he appeared to be a complete bully in the pre fight press conference with George Groves.  So happy to hear that the cocky little shit had lost that fight.  Did Groves claim DeGale's purse as DeGale insisted pre-fight?

Does anyone know if you can purchase it from box office without having a Sky subscription? I still have my box so I can watch the free HD channels, but don't currently pay any money to Sky.

I'm not watching the Boxing, or having a BBQ for that matter, but you're welcome to come round :)

I think i might get it,im concerned if its rained off though. Will I get a refund or will i have to wait a month or somthing stupid (virgin media) so im going to wait to the last minute.

hey Janaage,how come you suddenly appeared again?

This is up and running now, not too bad a quality stream

http://www.magictv.co/ (http://www.magictv.co/)

Dodgy German link for me as I don't have Sky. Will listen to the English commentary on 5 live

Oooh nice one, English too, cheers

I saw your Tina Turner cancer ridden avatar and couldn't resist a post!  Nothing major made me post again just fancied it.

Hope that link holds up..

it's not too bad, I use this one for watching the footie

Great link (So far) If it's still up later I may not bother going to the pub afterall.

Anyone know What time  the fight starts?  and are there any other fights before?

ring walk is 9.45ish

Ta muchly  :beers:

Ace. I might stay up late for this!

Haha you've changed

Any links for a stream for this?

This one is great at the moment.

Yep,but goes off in ten mins.

Not necessarily

Not that great then I guess!

yay it works after encription!

Then again...

edit: phew, just a glitch in the matrix.

what's this veetle tv nonsense?

http://eplsite.tv/stream1.html

Was wondering that myself..anyone actually downloaded it?

I don't finish work til 10, will this one still be good when I get in?

Nope

Magic tv stream back up

Veetle is a small software programme that allows you to watch streamed tv programmes (i.e Premier games live) there is also another called sopcast that does the same thing I've used them both fro a year or two now with no problems.

If you go on the www.myp2p.eu site there are loads of live sports and with these programmes you can view them

Just moved the dish ready, RTL Germany, free, free and free. How much is it on the ripoff UK channel by the way?

mind you dont do a rod hull there stfc  :D

"Disabled due to a copyright claim" Nooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Eh? Back after refresh. WTF?

Your gonna have to explain that one to me  :-[

Man United killed Rod Hull.

here ya go stfc

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/298801.stm (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/298801.stm)

i'm playing this smart and having magic tv in one tab and eplsite on the other
go me!

If I remember correctly, he died falling from his roof.

Ah bless, why didn't he just get a motorised 1.2m dish like me

I reckon the Emu was behind it

I remember you used to be able to get RTL on the old Sky analogue. Shame you can't on digital.

Stream is quite poor now for me

Yeah, the good one got pulled for copyright.

You would be able to Samdy if you moved the dish to 19.2E instead of 23.2 Sat meter involved but should be ok on a 45cm mini dish. Mines ground mounted so no Rod Hull heights involved

Come on TEF nerds, find us a decent stream :)

The software in the new Sky boxes prevents it apparently :(

Might just ditch my Sky HD box, get a freesatHD box and move the dish.

Good luck finding Astra/Eurobird after the fight ;)

I've found this one

http://www.firstrowsports.eu/watch/71225/1/watch-wladimir-klitschko-vs-david-haye-.html

You'd better hurry up. So you can't just add extra frequencies anymore then? I know you used to be able to last time I had a working $ly box

If you've got Sopcast, try channel 114717. It's Russian, but good enough quality to watch full screen.

[smug]I've got a cyrstal clear picture right now thank you very much.[/smug] 8)

my picture is hd tastic

Can't see that Veetle feed lasting the fight, they've been closing 'em down all night.

this ones in english and seems okay

http://boxingguru.yolasite.com/ (http://boxingguru.yolasite.com/)

My introduction to soft core porn when I was like 12/13. Ah memories.

Midnight blue on at.... midnight, after Sky Sports had finished. Good times.

been alright for the last 20 minutes or so, so hopefully.....

i'm going for haye in round 5.

I reckon this will go the distance. Fuck know's which way it will go, but I can see these two knocking the shit out of each other.

Fuck I really want to watch this, but can't really afford to buy it.

can't see that myself. one of them is gonna get ko'd.
if haye doesn't do him within 5-8 rounds i think he'll get sparked out

Cheat then. Like the rest of us freeloaders!

Good shout. If Haye drags it out, he might just get his arse kicked the longer it goes on.

what makes this fight potentially great is that nobody can call this really.anything can happen.
can't see this being a flop.

Not the best quality, but it's the Sky feed and it's working.

Just downloaded veetle from Cnet and this link seems good: http://www.veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4e0e4d8456b86 (http://www.veetle.com/index.php/channel/view#4e0e4d8456b86)

hang on, i think that links to an old fight?! FAIL

Fucking hope not i got Haye in the last 3 rounds

i think he'll take it to clitco to attempt ko him early.if that doesn't work then i think that will play into clitch's hands.

here we go folks.hope it lives up to expectation

Can't get magictv to work... This is the only one I've found so far that doesnt keep going down: http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/36360/1/david-haye-v-wladimir-klitschko---wba/ibf/wbo-world-heavyweight-titles.html (http://www.vipbox.tv/watch/36360/1/david-haye-v-wladimir-klitschko---wba/ibf/wbo-world-heavyweight-titles.html)

^Not the best quality but this ones still fine

Try it again. Mine came back.

Nice tune from the Ukraine there.

Should of got that lass Jade Wilkinson (the one who was  singing at the cg ),  singing our national anthem she'd of done a better job

christ dont they make a meal of it ::)

I've loved every minute of this so far, and it hasn't even started yet.  This is ace.  Rocky 6 in the making.

i bet it's over by the time i've downloaded vettle

Bloody poor quality link!!

Klitschko on top then, for now.

All the streams have gone to shit. I'm listening on 5 Live.

It's like Haye's finding it hard to make contact with the Klit.

This one's working but is about 30 seconds behind.

2-0 Klitchko?

Great 3rd for Haye - 2-1 Klitchco

2-1 on my card ;)

fuck all in it really.one big shot either way and it's bye bye

3-1 Klitchko....But Klitchko looks tired!

Haye hurt there. Survives.

Wow! 4-1 Klitchko...Great shot!!

5-1 Klitchko.....Not looking good is it?

5-1 I reckon. Haye getting close to needing a KO if so.

haye keeps diving imo.

5-2 Klitchko...Only cos of the point deduction....Cant see Haye winning

Me too. Ronaldo has been training him. Got a point out of it mine. Agree that was a 10-8 with a point of for Klits.

diver been found out now.

5-3 Klitchko....Haye shading that one. Klitchko didnt do much.

Entering round 10 here, think you're all behind :/

Oh dear! 6-3 Klitchko....Not going to go all the way methinks

wtf is george foreman watching? unless haye ko's clitch he has lost

Link gone but 7-3 Klitchko

http://atdhenet.tv/37761/watch-wladimir-klitschko-vs-david-haye

Klitchko faster and fitter than expected - all in all he outboxed Haye.

A fight for the purists I think.

Thanks Batch....Saw bits of the 12th...Shame Haye couldn't do that before. Klitchko must have won.

Indeed. Klitschko won't need a dodgy German verdict here. Won it fair and square.

if haye has won or even drawn then it would be a total farce. all the mouth and delivered fuck all. klitch dictated the fight completely

Glad that it was scored 'fairly' and given as a one sided win. However, very disappointed for Haye. Quite like him as a fighter, as he has a bit of swagger. However, it wasn't really an even match up. Klitchko didn't look in trouble at all.

Needed Haye to box him, but unfortunately Haye is a fighter and not a boxer.

that's the whole point of boxing though, the chat.  if klitch hadn't won he'd have been all mouth and delivered fuck all...

i haven't watched it btw - i assume he won

klitch was respectful throughout the build up,haye wasn't.
he did all the talking and delivered little in the end.

Surprised how many people are disappointed with Haye.  Ignoring the pre-fight antics what did people expect Haye to do, just walk into Klit's space and knock himself out in the process.  Klitschko was just too big for the lad.  Stepping up from lower weights and taking on a real heavy weight was always gonna be difficult.

Size matters.

i actually thought during all the pre fight shit haye was good, he talked about himself, for me klitch spoke about haye an awful lot

It was a pretty boring fight, I thought, with Klitchko keeping Haye 6 feet away from him very effectively.  Functional boxing rather than flair boxing, but then the same could have been said about Lennox Lewis and the results come through for him.

Klitch was just too big and kept Haye back really well.  Can see why the other challengers have come out of fights saying that "there was nothing else I could do!". Haye had to go wild to get close to him and was then off balance enough to be easily knocked sideways or to the mat.

Shame really, as I like Haye and thought he fought the big man really well when he beat that giant in his last fight, but this was a different kettle of fish!

Yawnfull fight,no one to blame though, Haye just couldn't get anywhere near.Sadly Heavy Weight Boxing is finished as a spectator sport as long as there are giant jabbing gian the fights are going to suck.Oh and the toe thing...please..

It looks like it was all down to hs toe - not a lack of ability

I don't know what half of you were watching! Klitschko was totally professional and kept his focus.

I thought it was a proper boxing match, not boring at all. Fair play to Haye, he gave it his best.

Haye left it too late

He wasmfightin the klit, not cunting audley harrison

Thought the fight itself was OK.

Steam was beyond uncomfortably rammed. But there was some comedy moments on the way.

Best heavyweight fight for years, people saying it was crap are generally comparing it to fights at a lighter weights where greater agility, hand speed, etc are are more common place.

As for Haye, he was simply beaten by a better man.

Haye wasn't good enough really. Klitcshko had all the answers technically. I thought Haye should have gone for it a bit more in the final few rounds though. Surely he'd have known he had to knock him out? But then again I guess that showed that he wasn't able to get near his opponent.

The parademic visit was skill

A bit disappointed that Haye didnt seem to have any sort of tatic of dealing with the out stretched arm. I was expecting him to be trying a few body punches. I suppose that`s why the guy has been champion for 10 + years. So pleased I grew up in a different era of boxing. If this was the fight of the decade for heavy weights then it isn`t going to be around for much longer.

i've just got back from hamburg, mental atmosphere over there, fight was obviously disappointing, i'm going to bed now to sleep off my 4 day hangover...i'm getting to old for this drinking marlarky

best highlight of the boxing was the fight a couple before the haye fight, the guy literally had the gum shield knocked out of him!

he did, it flew!!!

I couldnt believe the manager left that bar girl to try and clear the floor with that mic. That should have been the job of whoever was in charge, what a coward.
