RE: Heavyweight Division - Beefstew - 11-26-2016 (11-26-2016, 12:17 PM)diehard Wrote: Yeah, Miller is a beast and a loud mouth similar to Briggs. I just think he's a better match-up than Haye. Miller really hasn't fought anyone ranked, but he said he'd fight anyone for a belt, and said he was in line for the Parker/Ruiz winner if Haye passes. Isnt Hughie Fury next on the list after David Haye?

The sanctioning bodies do what they want. Miller said in a video that the WBO approached him and said he next is in line to fight Parker if Haye doesn't want the fight. Could change though, who knows. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 11-26-2016 If Bellew somehow pulls it off and beats Haye – does he stay at heavyweight? James Slater - November 25, 2016 2 Comments What if reigning WBC cruiserweight boss Tony Bellew does what he insists he will and defeats David Haye next March? It might seem like a big if in the opinion of many fans, but “Bomber” (a far more palatable nickname to the new one Haye has given to his rival!) can certainly punch very hard – at least he can as a 200-pounder. There is definitely a chance, call it an outside chance if you want, that Bellew could catch Haye on the chin and cause the sensation. The big question is: what then? Haye would very likely have no option but to retire, especially if suffered a KO’d early on in the fight. Bellew? He would have a ton of options. Would Bellew decide to drop back down to cruiser and get busy defending his WBC belt, the cruiser division being pretty talent-rich right now, or would he stay where the really big money is and tangle with even bigger heavyweights than Haye? “Tony’s telling me he’s gonna absolutely spark David Haye, and then he wants Joshua, Klitschko, Fury, all of them at heavyweight,” Hearn said. “So we’ll have to see what happens.” Bellew feels Haye – who returned to action this January after having had three-and-a-half years out of the ring, coming back to quickly despatch Mark de Mori and then Arnold “The Cobra” – has not had a real fight in years and will not be able to handle the heat he brings in March. Maybe Haye will get a shock if and when Bellew tests his chin. But even if Bellew does defeat his biter rival, would he really be able to go to war with the huge, huge heavies? Beating a largely inactive, possibly significantly past his best Haye is one thing – but a young and still to peak Anthony Joshua? An enormous Tyson Fury? An equally huge Wladimir Klitschko? Bellew would surely be biting off way more than he can chew. It’s likely Bellew knows this himself, and is merely psyching himself up for the Haye fight by talking about how he will go after the other heavyweights out there after he’s picked up the win. But a win over Haye would be a huge enough story all by itself. Still, ask the fans and the majority of them will tell you that the upcoming fight is a veritable mismatch and that the only option Bellew will have after he’s been knocked out by Haye will be to drop back down to cruiserweight. This consensus will not stop millions of people from buying the March fight, however. Whatever the outcome, Haye-Bellew will in no way be dull. RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 11-26-2016 Thought some of you might want this website. They usually have free bouts on SKY on Tuesday nites: http://www.matchroomboxing.com/news/haye-and-bellew-clash-in-heavyweight-blockbuster/ RE: Heavyweight Division - diehard - 11-26-2016 Bermane Stiverne vs. Alexander Povetkin on Dec.17 K2 Promotions - November 25, 2016 0 Comments Former World Boxing Council (‘WBC’) Heavyweight Champion BERMANE STIVERNE (25-2-1, 21 KO’s), will battle #1 ranked contender ALEXANDER POVETKIN, (30-1-0, 22 KO’s) on Saturday, December 17 in Ekaterinburg, Russia. The winner of their highly anticipated clash will be the Mandatory Challenger to current WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder. Currently ranked #2 by the WBC, Stiverne is deep in training at his home gym in Las Vegas, the Mayweather Boxing Club under the watchful eye of longtime trainer Don House. “I feel great, this fight has been in the making for a while so I’ve been here training at home,” said the Haitian born Stiverne. “I’ve got a great opportunity with this fight to get back what I had. Deontay Wilder has my belt, he beat me on my worst night. All I want is the chance to win the world title again and Mauricio and the WBC say I have to go through Alexander Povetkin and that’s what I’m going to do on December 17.” Stiverne lost a 12-round unanimous decision and his heavyweight title to Wilder on January 17, 2015 in Las Vegas. Continued Stiverne, “I’ve watched a few of Povetkin’s fight’s, he’s similar in size to Chris Arreola but also very skilled from his deep amateur background, solid puncher but not the tightest defense.” On April 27, 2013, Stiverne won a unanimous decision over Arreola in Ontario, California to earn the WBC Silver Heavyweight Title. With the retirement of long reigning champion Vitali Klitschko, the WBC ordered Stiverne to face Arreola once again for the WBC World Heavyweight Title which took place on May 10, 2014 in Los Angeles. Fighting on Arreola’s home turf for the second time, Stiverne was victorious with a brutal sixth round knockout. Most recently Stiverne won a 10-round unanimous decision over perennial contender Derric Rossy on November 14, 2015 in Las Vegas. “I’m always training so the time off isn’t a concern of mine,” said Stiverne. “I’ve fought everywhere and a ring is a ring, no issue at all going to Russia. I’ll be well prepared for victory over Povetkin on December 17th and then it’s onto Wilder.” POVETKIN vs. STIVERNE is presented by World of Boxing in association with Don King Productions. RE: Heavyweight Division - NakiFan - 11-27-2016 Oh Dear : https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/2261877/tyson-fury-cocaine-boxer-fat-topless-tenerife/ RE: Heavyweight Division - Msreef - 11-27-2016 Hate how the UK media trashes Fury RE: Heavyweight Division - Infern0 - 11-27-2016 Fury has been hated since day 1. He's one of few fighters I've followed and watched every fight live since his debut. The British people wanted David Price as their champion, then they were willing to accept chisora, now all on the joshua bandwagon. I was called a fool for being a fury fan and seeing the talent. I regret picking against him vs klitschko, I thought it was a final step too far but he did it. He was never given anything easy and never got any respect. It's a shame what's happened but I'm not that shocked. Theirs only so much crap one man can overcome before it shallows him up. RE: Heavyweight Division - bart - 11-27-2016 Furey is an Irish Traveller born in England with a Manchester accent - he was made to be hated over there. Guy is a great boxer though able to out think -outwit opponents - his only limitation (apart from mental health) is a lack of real power. RE: Heavyweight Division - NakiFan - 11-28-2016 The champ makes a good point.... |
