Khan vs Judah

Written by Sean Carpenter

OK

so the fight is now signed and ready to go on the July 23Rd Las Vegas Nevada. I personally have a big interest in this fight as I have a rather large bet on it with an on-line friend on twitter going by the name Charles @cahacci98 oh also if you would like to follow myself on twitter I go by the name @mancsean now back to the bet Charles wagered me that if Judah was to win I would delete my twitter page and vice versa which i was happy to do so then the anti was increased when he further betted that if Khan was to win he would personally come and buy me a drink in Manchester England and of course if Judah was to win I would have to travel to NY and buy him a drink!The bet is now on! As far as the fight goes I wasn't to impressed with Khans last outing against Euro champ McClosky or at the fact I didn't think he should be in the ring with him but to be fair it was a warm up fight but for Judah I know he has been in with some big names but he has always fallen against the bigger names. I think this had a lot to do with the lifestyle he led also! My view on him is he won a vacant title I would only just squeeze him into the top 10 in the division these days im predicting a Khan KO before the 8th round or possibly a wide UD for him! I have a lot riding on this one folks but at the worse I get a holiday in NY if im off the mark!Below is my over the pond betting friend.

Haye and Klit agree date and venue

2nd July Hamburg 57,000-capacity Imtech Arena

Ok I have already had my say as to regards this fight but I thought I would give an update as the venue and date have now been agreed. I would love for this fight to have been shown in the UK but in my heart I knew the klits would never agree to fight David in the UK. This has to be the biggest fight out there barring Manny and Mayweather and from what I read on a lot of sites and blogs Haye seems to be quite disliked outside of t

he UK and also by quite a few in the UK. The reason being is the fighters he has fought since moving up in weight I dont think this has upset the casual boxing fan in the UK but I know it did upset the true boxing fans myself included!He stated he was most requested by fans to fight Audley and finish him off. Ok for one Audley would have got finished off as soon as he fought any one of note in the heavy weights and Audley being Audley with his delusions would still have fought on which I believe he is doing so?He should have retired after the Haye fight there and then!I could have thrown more than 1 jab in 3 rounds and im a terrible boxer! But all of this said I still thinks its all quite harsh on a man who has for the first time in near a decade brought some interest to the heavyweight scene! And I for one am going to let my self get caught up in the hype of this fight and really enjoy the build up and everything about it as it may be a long time before we get another fight like this in the heavy weight division where we can allow our selves to get excited!

Still sticking to my previous prediction of a Klit points victory or late KO but the more I let myself go the more the fairytale slips into my mind and believes in David! Haye if you ever read this please prove us doubters wrong and make us eat our own words!

Amir Khan my take on things

Well I haven't wrote anything for a week or so but a few goings on during this time have really grabbed my attention. Ok a lot has been wrote and said about Amir Khan during his career and my take on it was a lot of it seemed harsh and some of it maybe even a bit racist! I for one cant understand how people can say he isn't talented and is a hype job? Ever since his loss everyone has slated the poor guy for having a glass jaw but lets face it look at all the greats they all have losses except for a handful! He was young he went in gung ho and has learnt from it since with a bounce back which I didn't think he would have done! What annoyed me during this time is everybody saying he was ducking Maidana and that once he got in the ring he would out box him to an easy victory or Maidana would get lucky and catch him and KO him. Well the fight turned out how not many would have guessed at with them going toe to toe and Maidana hitting him with all he had and him still coming back and getting the win. I read posts in the following weeks slating him again!My take on that fight is Khan wanted to prove he could go all out with the biggest banger in the division and therefore closing the door shut on the glass jaw debate I think most would agree if he wanted to he could have picked him off all night but didn't! Basics of it is he cant win he is always going to get slated. But I do have this to say and it has quite put me off Khan since is the wrangle with sky TV UK in the fact that the under-card fell apart and sky dropped it from PPV as I believe they didn't want to have another fight on along the lines of Haye v Harrison in doing this they switched the fight to sky sports 3 Khan took this fight stating it was a fight for the fans back in the UK but when it came down to it more fans would have been able to watch it and if it was really for the fans what would be the problem in showing the fight on sky sports 3?It wasn't for the fans it was greed and a pocket filler before fighting back in the US!The fight was switched to little known prime time tv channel and fans had to pay to view the fight against little more than cannon fodder for Khan!I think the boos at the end of the fight rang true with what had happened in the run up and I also think that they had been fully deserved! On that note the fight was stopped for that cut does anyone remember our true peoples hero Ricky Hitman Hatton with his wars could you imagine one of his fights getting stopped for that cut?

In short if he wants to be the peoples champ do so! That fight should have been left to sky sports 3 in switching you come across like a spilt child who didn't get what he wanted(to fleece the fans you came home to appease )

Haye and klitschko finally on

Ok I know this isn't

anything new but im more putting my thoughts together on the outcome of the fight and why it took so long for them to finally get it together. Ok first of all lets go back to when Haye had signed up to fight in the first place in 2009 but pulled out with a back injury im going to keep this as impartial as I can now to me this looked like a case of Wlad didnt want to re schedule the fight but also I think David had one eye on an easy enough title win over Valuev who had lets faced it lost his previous fight with a well over the hill Holyfield. Also Haye going for this title even though it tied him to sauerland im guessing there terms to be tied down to outshone the terms offered by Wlad and Vitalli! So David comes home with the title wins his mandatory defence and we all then expect to see him take on one of the brothers right?No there was a really and I mean really easy fight that the UK market would take in with Audley Harrison first and to be fair you cant blame him he has to maximize his career earnings so although I wasnt happy he took that fight I also understood why he did so as the next wrangle was the mess involving the fight pretty much being on and then wlad taking a fight with derek chisora??? As far as im concerned all off this on off and fights with Chisora was smoke and mirrors the money that will be generated from this fight would probably have taken 10 fights with other fighters for both haye and wlad. So lets look at the fight its self im really quite mixed up with this one as far goes as the winner my head is saying Wlad all day long as although they are robotic and quite boring they are very good champions and very hard to beat! But on the flip side of the coin it wouldnt shock me if Haye got a KO in this fight either? If Haye is to win he would probably be best getting in close tyson style and removing Wlads best weapon which is his Jab. Plenty of shots to the body and tire him out and go for one of his trade mark haymakers to finish. ALas I think im talking myself into wanting him to win the fight with those last few lines as truth be told Wlad will all in all probably jab his was to the late rounds then take him out around the 11th or 12th.

Verdict Wlad KO or points victory but don't be shocked if Haye gets an early KO

Froch up coming battle with the road warrior

Well its now been decided that the Cobra will be battling (and yes it will be a battle as don't be fooled by Glen Johnson's defeats on his record he isn't called the road warrior for nothing) it out in Atlantic city I do have to say Froch should come out of this with a victory and move on to the Final where he has a tough match up with all going well Ward. This should be a good old fashioned tear up as both like to go toe to toe and many a year back I may have tipped Glenn for it but you do have to take into account his age and at 42 the punch resistance and speed might just not be there any more for him to go toe to toe with Carl and as we have seen in many of Froch's fights that tough like will is still there! Also of mention is Froch had offered $250,000 to have the fight staged in Nottingham UK but Showtime rejected this its been quite a tough run of fights for Froch of late and a home coming fight wouldn't have been to bad an idea as the final is being held 30 minutes away from where Ward lives(its a home town fight again) and that would mean he has gone the entire tournament fighting at home touch unfair I think. But one things I would say it will be a good fight Im sticking my neck out and going with a late KO from Froch or a possible points victory for him!

Im sick of hate pushed drivel

Ok I have started this blog with a view to possibly getting a site up and running so this is kind of like a practice run. My main issues I have with today is all the bad mouthing of good honest fighters that I see out there and to be honest on a lot of sites where it is quite simply near enough racist towards some fighters! UK fighters seem to get a lot of stick these days also I am going to have a submissions where you can request a review of a fighter that is up to date and relevant
