The way the judges scored the Juarez - John fight was a joke. Should have been a lot closer than that!

Did Orlando beat Lock? I fell asleep at this point, and watched the Money match this morning.
Relinquishing junk. Stage One: preparation. For this you will need: one room which you will not leave; one mattress; tomato soup, ten tins of; mushroom soup, eight tins of, for consumption cold; ice cream, vanilla, one large tub of; Magnesia, Milk of, one bottle; paracetamol; mouth wash; vitamins; mineral water; Lucozade; pornography; one bucket for urine, one for feces, and one for vomitus; one television; and one bottle of Valium, which I have already procured, from my mother, who is, in her own domestic and socially acceptable way, also a drug addict.

Great display from Mayweather, he toyed with Marquez at will, but left me frustrated that he boxed within himself, his dominance was effortless, a truely great fighter would have finished Marquez.

I admire Mayweather but I'm longing for someone to lay him out, hopefully Mosely will get the chance.

Valuev has lost only once in 51 fights and stands nearly a foot taller and approximately 90lb heavier than his British opponent, who also has just the one defeat from his 23 bouts.

Despite this difference in size, Haye remains confident of continuing his fine record with victory on Saturday and says he has never been better prepared for a fight.

"I've walked the walk in my previous fights and backed up my talking," said Haye. "Expect no less this time round.

"I'm in my best shape. I know the tricks he's going to bring the table and I've prepared for him.

"He's never fought anyone as fast, as powerful and as accurate as me. "I know he just thinks I'm a little mouthy man from England but he's going to be in for a rude awakening."

The retaliation against Haye's previous barbs against Valuev came from Pavel Govzman, a consultant to promoter Don King, who claimed he had found support for the Russian to be extremely strong in America.

"There is a huge interest in this fight," said Govzman.

"People cannot stand David Haye for what he has said and they asked me to tell Nicolay to take care of him and his dirty mouth."

Such comments are in stark contrast to earlier assertions from Haye, who claims he has huge support in the USA, where fans have taken to his "attitude".

Quote

The best odds available for Haye to take down the giant are 8/15, with Valuev to take the title priced at 11/8 with Bet 365. Other bookies such as William Hill are confused after revealing that 80 per cent of bets taken have been backing David Haye. It seems that whilst there is excessive support for Haye to steal the title, there is still doubt that he will be able to overcome the height, weight and reach of the giant. Bookmakers Coral explained that they have had very little interest in Haye, but due to a surge in betting for Valuev, they have been forced to slash his odds from 2/1 to 6/4 to win the fight.

This fight is totally down to Haye's tactics, if he gets all brash and macho he'll get stopped, he needs to box carefully and pick Valuev off, if he does he'll win but remember this fight is in Germany, the bias to Valuev is incredible, just as Holyfield found out, he might win the fight but he might not get the decision if it goes the distance.

As they say, he might need to knock him out to get a draw :huh:

It's probably worth sticking money on Valuev on points.
