Mismatch: David Haye vs. The Not So Iron Tyson Fury

fury2By J. Keenan: On September 28th David “The Hayemaker” Haye will face Tyson Fury at the MEN Arena in Manchester in a showdown that is being Promoted as the biggest British heavyweight fight since Lennox Lewis vs Frank Bruno but can this fight live up to the hype machine that it has become?

I have to start this article by saying I wasn’t really interested in this fight when the rumors started kicking off about it happening. Even when it was finally announced, I still wasn’t that interested. What did catch my attention was the press conference, and no it wasn’t Tyson Fury’s desperate bid to sell the fight; it was David Haye’s cool and relaxed manor that caught my attention. It was far different from his usual brash and arrogant character that he has previously displayed at press conferences.

Prediction: Mayweather will beat Canelo by decision

floyd62By J. Keenan: Previews and reviews of boxers bouts are mostly judged under the term of  “styles make fights” but for the most anticipated bout of the year between Floyd “Money” Mayweather and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, it won’t only be down to style. Styles will play a role in the bout at some point, but I believe one could be foolish to judge an outcome of a fight purely based on styles.

Both fighters are also undefeated, so this will leave no viable blue print for Money or Canelo to see true weaknesses in each of there styles (Not unless you count Mayweather’s 2nd round rocking from Shane Mosley). If you take a look at both fighters last fights, you will notice some similarity’s with each of there opponents.
