TYSON FURY-DAVID HAYE FIGHT TO BREAK RECORDS
San Francisco, CA– The mega-clash set for August 17 between David Haye and Tyson Fury figures to be the biggest prize fight in British history. The twice-licked Haye (26-2, 24 KOs) dropped one fight at cruiserweight (200 lb.) and lost a 2011 encounter with heavyweight titleholder Wladimir Klitschko that went 12 rounds. Tyson Fury is unbeaten and seems to be the pick of the fans.
THE BRITISH TYSON HAS SOME ADVANTAGES
Fury, who was dropped in what supposed to be a showcase bout on NBC Sports Network by cruiserweight king Steve Cunningham , Fury struggled before rallying for the win. With Fury at 6’7 and Haye at 6’2, one would think five inches of height has to be double that in length. That alone should be able to keep Haye at bay!
TALL GUYS, THEIR COMPOSURE OR LACK THERE OF!
But as easy as that looks, especially seeing how Haye failed miserably with the Klitschko, who is roughly the sane height as Tyson Fury, there are so many question marks about Fury (21-0, 15 KOs) that you can take nothing for granted. Haye has more ability and pop in his punch, that and his having been on the big stage, albeit unsuccessful vs. Klitschko, looks to be slight favorite from my perspective.
