I have £30 on Haye in R5.
PS, It was on SkySports News at the start of the week that Sylvester Stallone got inducted into the boxing Hall Of Fame ...

I think there may have been a point deducted or one of the judges scored a round in favour of Eubank when it was obviously Benn's. Benn should have been scored the winner as he was the better boxer that day.
Yeah I checked
Benn got a point deducted early on for a low blow.
Which cost him the decision, although you shouldn't really punch people in the Goolies

To quote Tony Hancock 'A good punch up the bracket never hurt anyone.'
I remember, years ago, when Prince Naseem was in his skillful pomp, a mate of mine, who did a bit of boxing himself, told me about a fighter in America, who, he said, made Hamed look about as skillful as George Foreman. I was intruiged, but unfortunately, I didn't get to see any clips of him until YouTube came along. The fighter's name was Pernell "Sweet Pea" Whitaker, and he has to be seen to be believed. Here's some of his highlights. I particularly like the clips of him taking the piss out of "Golden Boy" Oscar De La Hoya: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G5v_PNsl4Q
Foward this clip to 1:19, and you won't believe your eyes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v66vt0mVOE4&NR=1&feature=fvwp
He was pretty good, but he was no Derek "Sweet D" Williams ahem!
Our very own Herol Graham was an amazing defensive Boxer, or good at not getting hit anyway... most of the time.

Yeah, many people consider Graham to be the best British boxer who never won a world title. I think he almost won one, but was knocked out with 30 seconds of the final round to go, wasn't he?
He also lived down the same road as a certain little Yemeni kid, back in the '80s, and he taught him all of his tricks. Here they are having a little sparring session back in the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=By4ZUPgrWVc&feature=related
I went to watch some boxing down at the local leisure centre when I was 16 because some kids from my year at school were fighting. Despite the crowd being a bunch of wankers, it was great fun. I've never been since, but really must go again soon.
Expect a ring walk from Wladimir to try and beat his brother's incredible effort in his comeback:
Incredible, 'Arry.
This fella's got to be the weirdest fighter I've ever seen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LEKHMUCh8k&feature=related

Wasn't his party trick to hold his arms by his side and then invite people to try and hit him?
I'm sorry but I do think that boxing basically appeals to a certain type of person. The sort that would smack you in the head if you looked at them in a funny way.
^That's UFC.
UFC is far too extreme for me.
I'm going with Haye to win by K.O by round 4. If it goes beyond that, Wladimir's jab will wear Haye down and win the fight.
I was gonna watch it online but it will eat up too much of my 10GB monthly usage limit. 
This is how Haye will be leaving the arena tonight. Klitschko in the fifth.
I'll be watching online. There's probably a pub round here showing it, but I can't be doing with all the braying idiots.
