David Haye says no heavyweight could handle his power tonight

demori4By Scott Gilfoid: We all knew going into tonight’s fight between former WBA heavyweight champion David “Hayemaker” Haye (27-2, 25 KOs) and #10 WBA Mark De Mori (30-2-2, 26 KOs) that we were going to see a likely mismatch with Haye wiping the deck with the over-matched 33-year-old De Mori, and sure enough that’s exactly what we witnessed.

Haye needed less than a full round to take the Australian De Mori out in the 1st round at the O2 Arena in London, UK. De Mori made the mistake of throwing a slow jab with his back against the ropes. Haye immediately throw a big right hand counter of De Mori’s jab and clocked him.

Haye compares De Mori to Deontay Wilder

haye7888By Scott Gilfoid: We could be seeing a big mismatch tonight with former two division world champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) getting off the couch finally to climb back into the ring to face a hand-picked opponent named Mark De Mori (30-1-2, 26 KOs). Haye admits that De Mori has not had the experience of fighting guys at his level.

However, Haye for some reason compares De Mori to WBC heavyweight champion Deontay Wilder in mentioning how Deontay defeated Bermane Stiverne last year. Before that fight, Deontay didn’t have big time experience in the pro ranks against the big names, but he did have an Olympic bronze medal going for him. Deontay had also sparred with many good fighters like Wladimir Klitschko and Malik Scott, so it wasn’t like he was totally green fighter like Haye makes him out to be.

“Granted, he hasn’t fought anyone on my level but that can be misleading,” Haye said to ringtv.com. “Remember, Deontay Wilder hadn’t fought anyone until he won the WBC title from Bermane Stiverne…so this is his big shot against a former champion.”

YouTube video

By Scott Gilfoid: British heavyweight Dillian Whyte does not think too much of David Haye’s opponent Mark De Mori (30-1-2, 26 KOs) for Saturday night. Whyte says he will be surprised if the 33-yar-old De Mori even makes it to the third round. Whyte believes that Haye would beat De Mori even if he did not train for over a year, because he sees this as little more than a mismatch designed to make Haye look good.

De Mori: I have explosive power; I am ready to KO Haye

YouTube video

By Scott Gilfoid: Despite having an impressive record and a decent ranked with the WBA, Mark De Mori (30-1-2, 26 KOs) has been brought in to be the token lamb for Britain’s David Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) to slaughter this Saturday night in their heavyweight fight at the O2 Arena in London, UK. De Mori, 33, has obviously been well- vetted as a vulnerable fighter that Haye could not possibly lose to, so now all that needs to happen is the actual beating of De Mori by Haye.
