One of the more interesting fights in the heavyweight division will happen Sunday Korean Standard Time between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye. I'm thinking the main event will start around 1 p.m. and probably not be aired on Korean TV.

In the 90's, I watched only heavyweights. For the past 10 years or so, I have totally given up on them.

This fight, though, has got me interested again...

The fight is scheduled to take place in Germany and they don't generally bow down to U.S broadcasters requests. BBC has the event kicking off from 10pm UK time, so I would be looking at a 6am start time here.

Would love to watch it in the pub on a good feed, but have asked around my local bars and no-one keen to open that early.

MyP2P.eu best chance of getting a good stream I imagine

Itaewon may do it. Perhaps the wolfhound or something will do a special.

I hope Klitschko smashes that arrogant *beep*.

[Yaya]

Klitschko is good but then again, the heavyweight division is crap right now as the best boxers are in the welterweight and middleweight divisions. The Ukrainian has three defeats and well, Haye seems to be the toughest opponent he's had in a while.

I hope the fight starts later than 6 a.m. since most big-name fights in Vegas start around 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. local time.

yeah i agree that the heavyweight divison is very poor. Haye has had two very easy fights of late. The Harrison fight was an absolute joke. I haven't properly sat down and watched Klitshko yet so I can't really put an analysis on him.

Its definitely going to be on early morning our time. Its on at primetime European time. Its being broadcast live in the states in the afternoon on HBO.

Klitschko is a big, atheletic figher, with good skills but he has a weak chin and doesn't do well when pressured. If Haye jops on him from the beginning, then he has a good chance of knocking him out.

But from what I've seen of Haye in his move up to heavyweight. He is anything but a pressure fighter: He doesn't throw enough punches to tire Wlad and he doesn't pressure enough to get by the big long jab.

Haye's chin is just as suspect as Wlads and if Wlad finds his rythm al all in the fight, it should be over.

Haye has a punchers chance --and he is a live underdog--but look for wlad to stop him by 9.

[Yaya]

Both fighters are expected to pull in more than $15 million each since this is the biggest heavyweight fight in a while. I hope they make it entertaining in a division that's been anything but.

Perhaps Klitshko will opt to play it safe and win on points by keeping Haye away with the jab. If Klitshko goes for the knockout, that means he could get in closer and Haye could get in a lucky shot.

[riverboy]

Agreed Yaya. Haye has some speed, movement and power, but he's a pot shotter and I think that's not enough for a guy like Little Klit.

Haye has talked some serious smack so far and maybe that will bring out the best in Wlad.

Here's hoping for a wild finish and a good fight.

Hey, since we're on boxing. Have you seen Canelo Alvarez fight yet? If the kid can stay disciplined and has a good beard on him, I think he'll be a big star

KBSN sports used to air big fights live but now they don't seem to be doing that anymore. They didn't even air Mayweather vs Mosley and Pac vs Margarito. I think the last big fight they showed live was Hopkins vs Pascal. They won't be showing this one. They don't even mention it on their site. That being said Wlad gets this one

Precition; Haye gets dropped in the 5th or 6th, gets up, but is stopped on his feet in the 6th

Klitschko TKO6 Haye!!!
