Ah you’re right Kelsey, HBO have backheeled it, my bad. That’s what being cynical does for you!!

Mmmm, interesting Kelsey, from what you’ve seen would that be the general viewpoint in the US? I can see where you’re coming from, however for me, I kinda know how the Ruslan fight will go, he’s a good boxer and I agree, he’s proven his ability in the big league and against the biggest of big boys (Valuev).
I can see him having success yet coming up short on the cards, Wlad will box technically and again, his size should be the deciding factor. If he was negative against Ibragimov….(oh oh…..bad flashback….aaarghhh..), he’ll be again versus Ruslan……..deep joy.
With Haye I knew we were in for fireworks. I wasn’t convinced he’d win, in a battle of punchers, usually the better whiskers see the victor through, but who owns them? They’ve both looked vulnerable.
More importantly, my non-boxing friends were juiced about the Haye fight, we’d even planned a big night out to watch it together like the flippin’ old days!! Sadly it’ll be a night in now, no-one gives two hoots about Klitschko Chagaev. Disaster.

I’d actually rather see the Chagaev-Klitschko fight because Ruslan is actually a top 5 (well, 3 actually) rated HW. Haye is a cruiserweight that HAS DONE NOTHING AT HW TO DESERVE A TITLE SHOT. I mean, he beat Monte freakin’ Barret. at HW and he gets a shot at Wlad? REALLY?

Anyway, HBO is saying they won’t televise the Chagaev fight, which will be for The Ring Championship (finally!). What a croc.

I like the Beatles reference, though. My fave band.
