David Haye is gonna get his head knocked off against Wladmir Klitscko, plain and simple! if you dont believe me just youtube Klitschko v. Ruslan Chagaev and v. Chris Byrd. In the Chagaev fight, wlad was able to cut the ring off late in the fight and in the byrd fight, wlad extended his left arm to blind him and when byrd's head came up it was knocked off. In both fights, Klitschko stayed in front of the faster opponent. If you still don't believe me you, tube Haye v. Monte Barrett where you have haye, who had the cards stacked in his favor, standing as an open target for Barrett's wild, unbalanced Siberian overhands. I'm no Klitschko fan, but I give this one to Wlad by TKO8.

Bread’s Response: You could be right bro. I’m not crazy about Wlad either, but he is in the zone. I don’t think he has lost a round in 5 years. That’s serious. Haye has to shock Wlad with his power. Sort of like how Manny does, when he 1st throws that fastball. Wlad’s heart can be taken. But Haye does not take a good punch. Very interesting fight. I’m picking Wlad but I wouldn’t bet Wlad,because  he’s too mentally weak for my money.

 
David Haye and his trainer, Adam Booth came out a couple of weeks ago and said that they had finished sparring early in preparation for the Klitchco fight and that now they were just specifically looking at analysing and preparing for wladimir. Is it normal to finish sparring so early ? And if not why do u feel they have taken this approach. Be interested on ur take on this. Also on how a normal training camp would go.
 
With regards to the fight Completely agree with ur assessment of the physical toughness required to Ensure victory over Wlad. That is the big fear as David appears to lack this,  but none the less David's got a great chance with his speed and power. Had he been fighting a prime Vitalli he would have had NO chance! Keep up the great work best mailbag in the business. -- AK,  London


Bread’s Response: Everybody is different. I would assume Booth knows Haye very well. It’s interesting because the trainers at my gym, were debating on WHEN the sparring should be cut. One trainer said two days before the championship fight, I don’t agree with that. But I wouldn’t cut my guy 10 out like Booth did either. Like I said, it depends on the fighter, so it’s no definitive answer. But we usually go light for about 4 rounds to keep the eyes sharp  4 days before the fight. 

 
Breadman: Marvin Hagler was recently interviewed in Canastota NY during IBHOF weekend and was asked about Bernard Hopkins' recent win over Jean Pascal.  Hagler's response was interesting: he didn't specifically address Hopkins' victory but instead expressed a need for boxing to
establish a retirement age for fighters so they don't embarrass and/or
hurt themselves.  I can't be certain of his intentions when he made
that statement.  It could have been from jealousy of Hopkins successes
or a dislike of him and the old Philly middleweight crew from the 70s
or hopefully a genuine concern for fighters.  Regardless of his intent,
I think he made a good point.  He mentioned how fighters become one
dimensional in life.  This is a problem common in all sports.  It's
like with most marriages, the "love" which athletes profess for their
respective sport is really an unhealthy attachment to it.
 
With all this in mind, since you have a young fighter in Julian
Williams and are/will undoubtedly be working with other fighters what
things will you do to encourage these guys to develop as whole people
(keeping in mind that it's ultimately up to them)?
 
Got a curve ball for you: Haven't heard anything from Jermain Taylor
and I remember him saying that he was going to come back.  It's amazing
how his career fell off.  I met him, his wife and mother on the night
he won Hopkin's middleweight crown.  He seems to possess much
character.  Then I watched him on TV fighting scared against Arthur
Abraham just four years later.  I'm convinced he got knocked out
because he kept thinking about it from moment to moment.  What would be
your response if you got a call from Taylor or someone representing him
for you (Breadman) to help revive his career?  (He'll be 33 in August,
showed heart by immediately rematching Kelly Pavlik after getting KO'd
and was ahead on Froch until getting KO'd in the 12th?)  If you decided
to work with Taylor what steps would you take to build him back up? I
hope you have/will give these things much thought because you will
undoubtedly be getting calls like this.  Simba - DC
 
Bread’s Response: Great question. Once Julian starts to make some money, I have already told him how he will live off of it forever. He will be my blueprint and poster board for other young fighters who wants somebody in their life that will set them up AFTER boxing. We talk about everything from A-Z.  I’m going to put myself out here with my next statement, but this is just the kind of guy I am. If and when I tell Julian to leave the sport, he better listen to me or I’m walking away. He has to trust me 100% when it comes to that. I am with him everyday, exercising, holding the pads, etc. I will know when things aren’t right.


We talk about annuities, wise investments, getting incorporated, getting tax breaks, karma, sex, belief in a higher power. Everything. I had a wonderful grandfather who taught me how to be a man. Julian is his own man, but I give him everything my pops gave me.


There is a difference between being totally shot and on the downside. I don’t want to work with a “shot” fighter. Taylor is more on the downside, but I would have to see him in the gym to see if he’s shot. Just remember he was doing a job on Froch. Looking back on that performance, he gets better as time goes on and we see Froch be successful.


I have always believed JT has bad nerves. He stutters and he’s gets excited very easy. JT’s problems are mental not physical. He fights to frenetic. I would do my best to relax him. Don’t laugh, I would make him take yoga and do other relaxation exercises. When a fighter CAN”T relax his breathing and bio rhythms screw up. Taylor fights jittery just like Shame Mosley does. That’s why Shane and JT are always gasping for air when the going gets really tough. Jermaine trains his ass off and burns out. James Toney does half of what Taylor does and fights all night. Relax baby and everything will be ok. Breadman gotcha JT! I’ve always been a fan of Taylor’s. After that kid won the middleweight title, he lined them up and rumbled everybody. That’s all you can ask a fighter to do. 

 

 
Do you think Andre Berto and Tim Bradley should fight? I think they are both in need of a credible opponent and everyone else is tied up through November. I think this is a no lose fight because if it is an entertaining fight you will want to see the loser come back again. I think in boxing we are too hard on people when they lose 1 fight.

Bread’s Response: Man Marlon you are a tough matchmaker. I wouldn’t mid seeing the fight, but in today’s boxing that fight would never get made NEXT. No freaking way. Berto will probably go after one of the foreign belt holders and Bradley is waiting on God’s Knows What.

 

 

 

 

What’s up Breadman,
I have to ask ,what’s up with Gabe from Gilroy? I mean what the hell is he talking about? “as a white guy”???? I’m a white guy too. I watched the same fights he did and I didn’t even notice Karim Mayfield’s dance or Adrian Broner’s hair combing. My thoughts have always been if you can back it up talk all the shit you want .Its makes it more fun for us fans. I was always a James Toney fan , he is the king of talking smack and I find it very entertaining . I just don’t get the race thing. I mean what does it have to do with it at all??? Dangerous Dave from Richmond


Bread’s Response: Sports in general, especially boxing brings out racial perspective. I don’t think Gabe meant any harm but sometimes we must think before we speak and in Gabe’s case, type.


Race does play a big part in boxing, however. Boxing is promoted racially and regionally. And let’s be honest, some people in white America probably do get turned off to see a talented black kid showboat. They just don’t say it publicly. That’s just the world we live in.


Hey bread! Been a fan of this site way back the G-bag! Anyway, PLEASE DO AN INTERVIEW WITH MANOLO! Ask him those intriguing questions like if he is left or right-handed, etc. Ask him something that we don’t know. We want to know trivial info about the man rather than those negative speculations about the drug issue. We’re sick and tired of that shit. I just hope you stop answering questions about it and give us something new.
Who’s your pick if Vanes Martirosyan vs Saul "Canelo" Alvarez happens? Do you think Freddie will play a big role for this fight?
Bread’s Response: Man I’m trying to get an interview with Manolo. The problem is once he touches ground over here in the US, he is mobbed. Over the phone, it’s hard because English is his secondary language. I have to do a face to face with Manolo. But I will get one. I promise and I’m going to get deep with him. Not intrusive but very deep. I hate it when guys take it easy and don’t ask the shit we really want to know.


I think Canelo beats Vanes. I hope they make that fight. I have seen Vanes in the gym and if he ever fights a real fight like that he will be a problem. But right now give me Canelo the Mellow Fellow, I’m high on the kid. I know most of you guys aren’t feeling him, but I trust my eyes over anybodies. Canelo is the real deal.
