Well written article young lady.
![]() But remember your reading through rose colored glasses so your pen is writing in pink. Wlad has NEVER has a chin problem. He is just long, and open to be hit from the inside. When he is hit inside, he has to tie up to avoid an interior onslaught which leaves his defenses open for a fighter to step out and put him in range for the bombs. Over the last several years his strategy has worked without flaw. Haye could potentially get around that, but so could Ibragimov CHagaev Chambers Peter Rahman etc. None did, and her we are. My take on the fight has more to do with Haye's willingness to take a punch repeatedly. Wlad best weapon is not his jab, but his hook off the jab. If Haye could take that solid shot repeatedly, he could potential work inside without being tied up, and thus open up Wlads D, [utting him at the end of Hayes power, and stop him. Thats the only way though, and I can't see Haye walking through Wlads hooks and into the inside. No, instead I see him trying to potshot from the outside, one or two at a time and trying to drag Wald into the later rounds. It aint gonna work, because Wlad typically is at his strongest around the 5th and 6th, when he has his range and starts firing straights. My offical prediction for this fight is Wlad by KO around 7, that is if Haye actually employs his only winning strategy and fights from the outside. If he goes right at Wlad, he'll be KOd inside 3.

haye of course has good ring iq, he wouldn't be cruiserweight champ and titleholder at heavy without ring iq, but it's not special. wlad' footwork is imo great because he is so tall and just needs a couple of steps to cut off the ring and to put pressure on his opponent. yeah he learned to pace himself, and he normaly force everyone to fight his fight and then his stamina is very good. i think that he has very good ring iq, you can't compare it to his brother, who practically fights alone, without the corner, but wlad is fighting after the gameplan, and he normaly has a couple of gameplans. so if something happes what is kind of surprising he can change his gameplan, but we hadn't the opportunity to witness it because his gameplan A was always enough |

It took Haye 9 rounds and 3 KDs to dispatch old Ruiz but he's going to KO Wlad inside 6?
It's not an analysis, it's a classical wishful thinking. |

I disagree on Haye having a bad defence because he is very rarely caught flush. Also he struggles against smaller compact fighters not the tall rangey type. An all guns blazing Holyfield none stop punching presure fighter is Haye's nightmare not Wladimir.
His poor trainer has just got Groves past Degale so he is not that poor. Ring IQ is Haye's game not Wladimir. Wladimir is great at following orders. When you are following Emanuel Steward that is a big plus. I see it as a creative fighter in Haye against Steward in a game chess. If Haye had Roach I would favour Haye. He does not though. Wladimir does has flaws, great footwork is wrong, average. Cutting the ring off I think he is decent not great. He does go back in straight lines. HIs oppentents have not had good footwork. His stamina is good when he fights his fight same as Haye, neither is great if enough presure is applied. Key point is Emmanuel Stewards brain against Hayes. Physical atributes and heart I would favour Haye. Size, experience, trainer are Wladimirs. His flaws have been worked on more by Emmanuel so again I think Wladimir has the advantage. Haye was suppose to have stamina issues and not be able to stick to a game plan. He did against Valuev and surprised people. His stamina was suppose to be to poor to last against Ruiz, yet it was. Every time he has flaw which should cost him a fight, the flaw vanishes. The question is; is it to big a step this time. Haye over trained against Audley but was so quick in the fight Audley seemed to move in slow motion when he did do something. Now if you look at Audley's fights he has never had trouble landing against any heavyweight. He was always the quickest guy but hated getting hit. A counter punch basically who is scared to fight against people who can hurt him. I have not seen many of his USA fights anybody got footage just the UK stuff so I am open to correction. If Wladmir is not a hell of lot quicker than Audley he will need a luck punch. Eddie Chambers and Chageav or Sultan are no where near as quick as Haye across the ring. Standing in front of Wladimir with high european guard is the worse tactic you can go for, as even in Wladmir's amateur days, that was his standard oppentent. |

Not counting Haye’s loss to Carl Thompson, he has an unblemished record in the Cruiserweight Division, and is (thus far) undefeated as a Heavyweight
yea and wlad would be undefeated if you took out purrity sanders and brewster and all other guys would be undefeated if you cast aside or chose to forget their losses |
