By Sean McDaniel: Former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye 25-2, 23 KO’s) may have already lost his fight against Dereck Chisora (15-3, 9 KO’s) by coming into their fight scheduled for Saturday night weighing only 210 pounds for their Upton Park clash. Chisora weighed in at 247 pounds, which is right about where he usually is. He looked in good shape and powerful for their bout on BoxNation.

You would think that Haye would have learned his lesson by coming into his last fight against IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko weighing only 210 to Wladimir’s 242 lbs. As it turns out it was much too light for Haye to compete as he was easily manhandled by the bigger, stronger Wladimir. On Saturday night, Haye will be facing an even bigger fighter in Chisora, and it’s going to be very difficult for Haye to be competitive with him unless he stays on the move the entire fight.

One positive that Haye has going into Saturday’s fight is that it’s only scheduled for 10 rounds. This means that Haye will have a better chance of making it to the final bell without gassing out too badly. I suspect that he’ll fade in the second half of the fight due to his long period in between fights. Haye has fought only once in the past two years, and that could make it tough for him in having the right conditioning to handle Chisora’s constant pressure.

Chisora has lost three out of his last four fights in defeats against big heavyweights Tyson Fury, Robert Helenius and Vitali Klitschko. For some reason Chisora does exceptionally good against bigger fighters. The defeats tell you that Chisora is good but that he can be beaten if you box him rather than slugging it out.

Haye will no doubt be looking for a KO on Saturday night to prove himself worthy for a fight against the Klitschkos.
