A Heavyweight Championship Bout Worth Watching

wladimir klitschko vs. david hayeSaturday, the younger Klitschko brother, Wladimir, defends his four title belts against the upstart British WBA champion David Haye, in Hamburg's soccer stadium. The trash talking in the pre-fight buildup has been impressive, even by boxing standards or lack thereof. 

Haye opened by wearing a t-shirt picturing him holding the severed heads of the Klitschko brothers.

Wladimir countered by saying that he would force Haye to eat the shirt after the bout. 

Haye then offered a bold announcement.

"This is going to be the most brutal execution of a boxer that you have seen for many, many years. I'm going to go out there and absolutely destroy him really quickly. The Klitschkos are frauds who only fight fat little puddings who turn up for a pay check," exclaimed Haye.   

Klitschko responded with some Ukrainian smack. 

"My name is Dr. Klitschko.  I am a therapist and on July 2, I am going to give you treatment.  It is going to be reality rehab and I will knock you into reality which will be good for your life. You will be a better person with better manners. "
