Well, it's not a title fight so it doesn't really warrant a 12 rounder.

Hmmm, I can't see anything out there?

I thought this had a trinket attatched? Those fights in the main are 12 rounders, aren't they? I may be mistaken. If it's a 10 rounder, then it's a 10 rounder. I'm just glad they're both fighting.

It's 100% a 10 rounder, even if it is for some WBA strap. Warren said so, as did Colin Hart. The reason, David Haye

Sky bet are saying it is scheduled for 12?
I've put money on haye in 7-12 as well.
I assume you'll be reinstated. It was always scheduled to be a 12 rounder, and this only came out today. So something must have happened with Haye in training. He threatens to pull out with injury, warren bends over backwards to keep the fight on.

What a load of wank. I think Haye is gonna blow Chisora out early but the majority of us agree Del's best hope of victory was from the 8th round on, I would have actually favored him to do the job in them rounds.

Done the dirty on Derek here imo. I hope Haye blows him out so we don't get anymore controversy on the fight (and I win money)

Why is everyone blaming Haye? There's nothing to suggest its his doing.

If the fight is for a strap, I can't see how a fighter can dictate the length of the bout. I reckon it was always a 10 rounder. That's what everyone was saying originally anyway

Originally it was always a 10 rounder. Then the WBA and WBO got involved and it became a title fight over 12 rounds. Today, warren said 'Haye wanted it as a 10 rounder, we wanted 12'. Colin Hart then said 'I was shocked to learn today that it is now a 10 rounder for a title. That use to be the case in the time of Gene Tunney, but not anymore.'

Even if Haye wanted to, he couldn't turn around 4 days before the fight and demand the length gets changed. No fucking way. Warren would have sued him to hell & back if he threatend to pull out

This would have been ironed out months ago. I wouldn't trust a word that comes out of Warrens Mouth

Yeah of course this is warren we're talking about. But this would have become public ages ago if it was always on the cards. Call me a conspiracy theorist, but I think Haye may have picked up a slight niggle and threatened to pull out, only for Warren to compromise. He looked absolute shit at the presser today.

That's only my opinion tho, and not based on much. Although Paddy Power have just announced they are refunding all losing 'round' betting in light of this news
