    Haye by stoppage.

    He's a lot quicker than Byrd and gets good leverage up close as he showed against Chisora.

    He'll end this one early.

    Haye by stoppage. The styles favor Haye.

    Interesting fight.
    Byrd might school Haye, or Haye might KO Byrd. I can see it both ways.

    Not a chance. Haye has many question marks over him, especially when it comes to heart and adaptability, but one thing that can't denied is his natural athleticism.

    Interesting fight, Byrd maybe more skilled but Haye more powerful and very fast also. I lean towards Haye, but an upset is possible.

    Same, although Haye could potentially give Byrd more problems than I tend to believe would be the case.

    byrd was pretty good, i think he can take haye.

    Haye never did prove he was a higher level, he just chipped around with the weakest until he cashed out with Wlad. Hes the Bear Grylls of boxing.

    Instinctively I pick Byrd, but Haye could be a lot more troublesome for Byrd than people think. He was fast and explosive and that could negate quite a bit of the effectiveness of Byrd's fancy defence. Tricky one this.
