Never shy of expressing an opinion, heavyweight boxing champion David Haye has become the latest figure to share his thoughts on the UFC 118 clash between James Toney and Randy Couture insisting Toney may be delusional for taking on one of MMA’s most recognised superstars, regardless of the knockout power that the boxer undoubtedly possesses.
Speaking via Yahoo!Sports.com, Haye said:
“Six months of training isn’t going to be enough. As a UFC fan, I know two or three years wouldn’t be enough. How many times has Toney sprawled in his life? 500? How many leg kicks has he taken in his life? 300? How many Kimura attempts has he defended? 140? Even if he’s done double that amount, he wouldn’t have nearly the experience needed to win a UFC fight.”
“I know from training in MMA myself that the wrestling aspect ruins your punching power. After a minute of grappling, your arms, back and shoulders fill with blood and even if you then find space to throw punches, your power is suddenly crap.”
“I hit a lot harder and I’m so much faster than James, and I couldn’t land a punch on fighters when all they wanted to do was take me down to the ground. James is a much more static fighter than I am, and is going to get thrown on his back immediately by Randy. I admire Toney’s spirit and boxing skills. But he’s delusional here.”
There is a lot riding on this fight for both sports. Will the legendary boxer get the quick knockout or will he simply be put on his back and given a good old fashioned ground and pound?
