The official Klitscko-Haye prediction thread

Vladimir Klitchko UD 120-108 Paulie Malignaggi.

Clowns like that are all talk and no substance.

I cannot see Haye win on a TKO. If he wins it will either be on a straight KO or on points but he won't be able to dominate the match and wipe the floor with Klitschko.
I hope Haye wins, possibly on a KO in 5th, 6th, 7th round.

 

Wlad KO 6

 

Wlad KO under 6

 

This fight is SO hard to predict; could go either way, either guy being bombed out, knockdowns eitherside on the way to a decision, a boring lopsided stinker etc. What if Haye goes for broke and it doesnt pay off? what if he plays it conservative and it slips away from him? What if Wlad panics and cant take Hayes gameplan?

So exciting!

 

Haye TKO 7!

 

This fight is a toss up to me but I see one of two scenarios playing out.

1) Haye starts the fight by being very aggressive and applying constant pressure right of the bat. Haye will do some infighting and land some bombs. If he fights the way he fought at Cruiserweight using speed and aggression I think he'll KO Klitschko by round 6.

2) If the Haye that fought Valuev and Harrison shows up then I see Haye taking a serious beating. If Haye gets on his bike and isn't busy or is tentative/apprehensive like he has been in the last few fights well...it'll be over fairly fast I think with a Klitschko KO in round 3.

I believe that Haye has the tools to get the job done and I believe that being dominant over really weak competition has lead many fans and experts to believe that Wladimir is much better than he really is. Make no mistakes, Wlad's a very good fighter but his greatest tools are his size and reach, not boxing skill. I also believe that due to the trash talking and similar crap competition at heavyweight, most fans and experts are writing Haye off with little if any consideration for his skills. We've seen his power and speed carry over to heavyweight and the guy can fight...when he chooses too.

Both guys have tremendous power. Haye has the speed advantage while Wladimir has the size advantage. I believe Haye to be the heavier puncher. Wladimir primiarly throws a few jabs and then a right hand while Haye's shown he can thrown a wide variety of punches and mix them up. As of late however Haye has gone into his fights looking for that one big punch and I haven't seen punches in bunches from him in quite a while. He'll need 3,4, and 5 punch combos if he wants to beat Wladimir. Both guys have questionable chins and both have been hurt and knocked out/stopped by fighters who were over the hill and far less talented than they are. Both guys have improved since their biggest losses.

Realistically I see the winner of this fight being the guy who lands flush first. I'm routing for Haye for no other reason than I want to see the division disrupted and for a potential unification bout with Vitali but this is a damn hard fight to call. I believe the 1st round will set the pace for one fighter or the other and tell us how things are going to play out.

Pumped for this fight!

 

Hoping for Haye to win but I'm going Wlad TKO 11.
