    I'll wait until fight week and probably after the weigh in before i make a choice but at this stage its a head and heart thing.
    Haye - Heart
    Wlad - Head

    The atmosphere will be astonishing as 20,000 Brits are expected to travel and when we do we make some noise.

    Should be an amazing atmosphere!!!


    Hasn't the German won all of his last 49 fights, and all with knockouts???
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    The German boxing events are nothing like the UK and US ones. Its a whole package. They have a band on. Laser shows. The works. Unfortunately the undercard fights are usually shit quality as all the budget goes on the "event" and to the main event boxers.

    David Haye (WBA Champ) is fighting a Ukrainian who fights out of Germany Neil. He's the recognised best Heavyweight in the world (IBF, WBO, IBO and Ring Champ). Pretty impressive record as well. 55 wins (49ko's) lost 3.
    Also found out today that my VIP ticket includes the after fight VIP party. Not sure what to make of that though.

    Can't wait

    Dude i Hope the after party was worth it because the fight was garbage as are most boxing matches nowdays, and this being in the heavywieght division mind you. The HEavywieght title used to be the biggest prize in sports. It's a joke now though.
