REAL COMBAT MEDIA UK: DAVID HAYE VS MARK DE MORI- Preview & Pre-fight Press Conference Video
By Rashid Sa’di -Real Combat Media UK Head Editor:
Manchester, UK, (15th of January 2016)– This Saturday on the 16th of January 2015, the clash between David Haye Vs Mark De Mori hits the O2 Arena in London, England. David Haye’s last 3 opponents were Audley Harrison, Wladamir Klitschko and Dereck Chisora. In his last fight he knocked out Dereck Chisora in the 5th round of their barn burner fight almost 4 years ago. Mark De Mori last 3 opponents were Zeljko Bojic, Radenko Kovac, and Marcel Zeller. In his last fight Mark knocked out Marcel Zeller in the first round of their fight when the referee stopped the fight.
Mark De Mori’s (30-1-2, 26 KO’s) Key’s to victory:
Mark De Mori is in a unique position to win this fight. He may be able to pull off the upset because of external circumstances. David Haye is coming off a 3 year layoff because of shoulder injuries. Haye is a fighter who relies solely on speed and athleticism to gain an upper-hand on his more stronger and powerful heavyweight competitors. Fighters who rely on speed and athleticism usually struggle and don’t look the same before the layoff, an example can be seen with Muhammed Ali in his first fight after the draft with Jerry Quarry he didn’t look as fast and as reflex driven as he’s 1966 prime performance against Cleveland Williams. Another factor in Mark’s favor is the fact that David is 35 years old whereas Mark is 33 years old. Many athletes at that age -apart from rare exceptions such as George Foreman and Bernard Hopkins- never give their best performances post 35 years old.
With these external factors in Mark’s favor he must seize the moment and take as many risks as possible. He must make David Haye uncomfortable by giving him awkward pressure. And also slow down the older Haye with digging body-shots. Another strategy is to avoid Haye’s power early. And drag the fight to the later rounds where stamina comes into play and the more active De Mori can hold an advantage. With his power he could hurt and potentially knockout Haye.
David Haye’s (26-2-0, 24 KO’s) Key’s to Victory:
David Haye’s advantages for this fight is his athleticism and speed. He could outbox the flat-footed De Mori by keeping him at end of his jab. And befuddle him with lateral movement. He must not get caught up with De Mori’s power, and must make him wary of his own power. Haye must frustrate Mark and get a few rounds under his belts before he goes in for the kill or decide to play it safe and decide to decision De Mori. A prime Haye would destroy De Mori. So his victory is dependent on how much inactivity has dulled his reflexes. So he should be able to pull off the victory because De Mori has never fought a world class competitor like Haye. David can pull off the Knockout over De Mori with his explosive power.
My Prediction for the fight:
I predict because of Haye’s inactivity this fight will be much harder than it would have been previously and will go on much longer than usual. De Mori may well be successful with a few exchanges early in the fight and may connect because Haye will struggle to find his range and distance. But eventually Mid-rounds he will start putting combinations of punches together. And he will hurt De Mori a few times. Eventually Haye will get in a rhythm and will consistently connect with Hayemakers, en-route to scoring a late round TKO or a 12 round unanimous decision win.
The main event – David Haye (Bermondsey) v Mark de Mori (Perth, Australia) – at the O2 Arena in North Greenwich, London – is provisionally set to kick off on Saturday, January 16 at around 9.45pm.
