Bit of a farce, but what the hell - it's early hours of Sunday morning, no rugby on, wife's away, booze aplenty........

It's a total farce but I can't wait.
Real grudge match!
I think Haye will do him in 5!

I'm not a big fan of either of them but I hope Haye knocks Chisora's block off

Well that was quick. Haye predicted a fifth round knockout so he got it right.

Benn and Eubank were the glory days of boxing. When boxers would fight anyone rather than just those they had a good idea they could beat. The days when Tyson was a snarling monster gnashing at the leash. Unlike today's bunch. The last few heavyweight fights I have bothered to watch live have been a total waste of time. I have seen more action in come dancing !
Looking back a few years I organised the door security for a party that had Benn as a DJ. A really nice chap. I watched him knock an idiot out with what looked like a simple slap when the idiot called him a wanker when he wouldn't play a request. I wish I had caught it on film but it was before the days when everyone had a camera phone. Also got to meet Frank Bruno. The man is a giant. I have never met anyone so large. There is no way I would willingly get into a rumble with him.
Happy days !
I never forget a face but in your case I'll make an exception!

Yep! he talks a good fight though!
Good boxer but just can't take a punch, unfortunately that's one thing you can't train for

It does help
The skill & ability to avoid the punches, especially the big shots is also part & parcel of the sport.
