'Hayemaker' solo creará falsas expectativas
Ya lo quieren llevar como atracción de ringside a la arena del MGM Grand para la pelea de éste sábado entre Manny Pacquiao y Miguel Cotto, como antesala para lo que se aproxima, una supuesta recuperación en la división de los pesos pesados en manos del peleador inglés.
"Este es un nuevo día para la división de peso pesado y no puedo esperar a ver que montañas ascenderá después" declaró Oscar De la Hoya, promotor en Estados Unidos del boxeador británico, pensando en que es un hecho que se pueden armar grandes combates para devolverle el interés a una división que está llena de oscuridad.
Hay que admitir que es benéfico el que fuera derrocada la maquinaria que respaldaba a Valuev, y digo esto porque ese cíclope se mantuvo como campeón del mundo mediante atracos a los peleadores que lo derrotaban, si hasta el viejito Evander Hollyfield fue despojado en su última oportunidad de hacer historia en el boxeo. Ya era hora de que la justicia hiciera honor, y eso que estuvieron cerca de volver a salirse con la suya ya que dos de las tarjetas de los jueces fueron 116-112 a favor de Haye y una mas 114-114, cuando en realidad lo que sucedió en el ring fue una pelea de un solo lado. No me imagino si la misma de verdad hubiese sido cerrada.

David Haye marcó su incursión en la categoría de los pesados haciendo mucho aspaviento y abriendo la boca de mas al asegurar que él sería quien le arrancaría la cabeza a los hermanos Klitschko, para que finalmente se decidiera por enfrentar al campeón mas fácil. Una decisión inteligente pero muy cobarde, y de hecho sabe que va a tardar un buen rato para que se logre concretar un pleito contra alguno de los hermanos robots. Ambos tienen compromisos pendientes, lo cual deja oportunidad a Oscar de armar una buena campaña que lo consolide en la unión americana antes de pensar en una unificación.
El que peleadores buenos como Tomas Adamek y David Haye estén sonando en los pesos pesados hace que los nostálgicos piensen en que podríamos encontrarnos en el preámbulo de un resurgimiento de la división legendaria en el boxeo, una división en donde los campeones eran denominados 'Campeones Absolutos'. Pero para nuestra mala fortuna en cuanto ambos choquen contra los mandamases, los hermanos Klitschko, los nostálgicos volverán a caer en la depresión.
