    Unfortunately for Haye, with Wlad Valuev plan won't work for too long. Left hook at the ropes will end it.

    I'd have preferred Haye to come in about 220 and go for the kill early. I really think that would've been his best chance to win. Wladimir Klitschko is ****ing light years ahead of Nikolay Valuev, Haye just will not be able to stay outside and pot-shot Wlad, he'll get bludgeoned.

    Guess here is that Haye looks to stay on the outside and take his opportunities to come in and counter Wlad hard and mix it up on the inside when he can.

    I think he wants to wear down Wlad. It's not a bad idea, and probably a better strategy than the all-out rush. Haye does carry his power late, so it's not the worst idea ever.

    If he fights like this, I may raise the chance I give him from around 10% to maybe 15-20%. I'm still firmly in Wlad's corner, but this will change the dynamic, this strategy. It may allow Haye a better chance to land a hard shot on a moving Wlad.

    210, 212, 222 or at whatever weight, David will run, potshot, run and repeat. David will not assume the risk to produce several viable KO opportunites and he will be in a mode of trying to keep WK's punch output to a minimum. He stands a 10% chance of getting lucky in Rounds 1 and 2, and a 5% or less chance thereafter.

    The real question is whether WK will force the action and pursue David or whether he sits behind the jab in his comfort zone. I predict the latter and a one-sided UD.

    "itsa huge *****" it's your dream right? Same dream Haye has. Unfortunately it won't happen for both of you.

    There was proof it was broken, but not at all that it happened in the second round.
    If you watch the fight, there wasn't even a hard punch from David and he never reacted as if he hurt himself in that round.
    I won't be surprised it actually happened in r12 with the only good puch he landed on Valuev's chin the whole night, or maybe not even in the ring.
    It was a louzy excuse, nothing more nothing less.

    And what happened in the Harrison bout? Did he break his hand before the fight even started?

    You know what, it's normal to immediately rule out the "all-out rush" as a rash, stupid, uncultured approach. And 99% of the time, it is.



    This time, it isn't. It wasn't when Hagler fought Hearns and knew he wouldn't be able to outbox Tommy from the outside, and it isn't now when Haye fights Klitschko. Now and then, the all-out rush for the jugular is the smartest approach, and I really believe this is one of those times.

    David Haye is not capable of beating Wladimir from the outside. But he is capable of blasting him out early.

    IMHO.

    I think Wlad will do as you say. However, unlike Valuev he will cut the ring off but not chase. Wlad will stay out of range as he stalks Haye keeping the fight at his preferred distance. He will eventually force Haye into his punching zone when Haye starts to slow a hair or get careless. We've seen Haye get quite sloppy against Barrett and Ruiz. I can't see Haye lasting the distance.

    More risk, though. If he rushes and gets caught, that's it. There's no way Haye is taking a Wlad straight right or left hook. So, he could land first, but he could also get dropped fast and be totally humiliated.

    If he stays on the outside, he may be able to frustrate Wlad and catch him coming in or reaching. I actually like the strategy for him.

    Now, if Wlad is able to cut off the ring or land the jab even with Haye on the move, then Haye may wish to go the Hagler route in "Hagler vs Hearns." Hagler got caught and stung, so his hand was somewhat forced.

    Everyone needs to stop buying into the hype

    All the t-shirts, Faceoff, ambulance, press confrence, Pizza face, 50th knockout, ambulance doesn't mean a thing.

    Both guys will fight how they normally fight, gun shy until the opportunity presents itself

    And forget about the weigh in, doesn't matter what weight they come in at, both are tremendous athletes and will come into the ring with plenty of road work, pad work and strength training. Both will come in in the best of shape

    Klitchko (unfortunatly, because I'm a Brit I want our fighters to do well) will win the fight

    In order to beat a good big man you need a great small man

    Haye, unfortunatly is just a good small man

    He has proven nothing in the heavyweight division since coming in, and beat the worst heavyweight champion in hostory on a MD

    If he struggles with a big lump of poo, how is he gonna cope with a big lump of chizzled muscle?

    Haye also CAN NOT TAKE A SHOT and this will come to fruition when Klitchko lands, and he will land at some point

    Sorry David, but after this fight you will be ridiculed by everyone across the pond and will have to hang your head in shame for not showing any respect

    Still, you've earn a truck load of money from all your pre-fight antics so best of luck to you!

    You are definitely right and this is the only plan that might work. It has to work very early in order to succeed because once Wlad does a few clinches and drains energy from Haye it is all over.

    I don't agree. Staying on the outside leaves Haye with no chance to win. The risk of losing is so massive it's almost a total eclipse. At least the other way, Haye is a live dog IMO. The risk of losing is considerably less.

    You may be right. I think if Haye realizes he can't win from the outside, though, he will eventually try to come in more aggressively.

    Wlad is 35; he's not the youngest guy ever or the most fluid (though he does move fairly well). Haye may throw in some southpaw stance as well.
