It pains me to say this as a huge Klitchko fan, but I think Vitali will be KOd in mid rounds. Haye is too slick and fast for the old man.
Conventional wisdom says Vitali UD12, but my deep understanding of boxing says Haye via slick blackness. Vitali is going to look like an awoken Egyptian mummy trying to swat an aggressive African bee in this fight.
I'm aware that bees can only sting you once and then die, but that analogy was not a reference to Haye's punch output! Let's say it'll be like a rusty old robot chasing a pissed off wasp
Vitali in round 8 stoppage. Haye is all talk, no walk. Vitali will smash him to pieces this time and I'm prepared to put my money on it.
I can't honestly think of how Haye can win this fight. Vitali has a granite chin and is going nowhere. Vitali by late stoppage or wide UD.
I expect Vitali to win but he's many years from his prime and whatever people say about Haye he's a good fighter. If this happens it isn't a meaningless match up at all. Old Vitali stands to gain a lot by beating a prime Haye when he's in his 40s but it's his toughest fight in a long time
You've got to admire what the Haye people have done.Here's a guy with no discernible record as a heavyweght and just through hype and bluster has managed to get a fight with both Klits in the space of a year or two,making a fortune. You've got to give the credit where it's due.
Vitali will be chasing shadows all night & falling over his own feet. Haye will embarass him & win easy but get robbed on the scorecards.
