By Amar jahangir: Last night, I saw a tubby, over rated and over hyped American get absolutely slaughtered. It was clear he was a c rank fighter but due to Americans over rating him, the casual fans began believing the hype. That hype was dashed last night, as Klitschko destroyed Arreola in perhaps the most one sided fight you will see all year. I will also like to add, over rated and over hyped boxers like Dirrell will also be just as easily defeated.

David Haye: Fighting scared?
By Aykan Tahir: In 2008 David Haye stated live on Setanta Sports that he would retire from the ring on his 31st Birthday. This gives him just a shade over 2 years to win and unify the heavyweight belts, not an impossible task but has Haye already burnt the bridges that would have allowed him access to these belts? If he does manage to unify all of the belts then he can fall back on his “retire at 31” statement without the need to defend the belts and potentially lose them to fighters who are not near retirement age and past their best.
