    Pull and upset..WTF?? Am I missing something here?

    If Haye managed to beat Wlad, it would be a huge huge upset. I expect Wlad to dispose of Haye QUITE easily. Wlad is bigger, hits harder and probably has better chin and Stamina. There is not one advantage Haye hold over Wlad.

    :lol:

    I was actually referring to the thread starter. However, I also think that you really don't have a good grasp on exactly what Wlad does in the ring. That "robotic" nonsense is played out. I wouldn't exactly call Haye "elusive, and slick". He is fast and powerful, but also sloppy as hell. His feet get all tangled up half of the time when he is lunging with his punches. He falls off balance quite a bit as well, and leaves himself open for some big shots.

    Haye is powerful, and fast. He definitely has talent, and he definitely has upset potential... however Haye HAS to land a haymaker (or several) to try and pull of a win. Wlad doesn't. You guys will all be surpised once again when Wlad doesn't melt just because someone hits him. It's almost comedic the way that people act like his chin is so bad. ANY fight can be turned around with one punch though, when you are dealing with fighters who have the kind of power that Wlad and Haye have... so I really only give Haye a punchers chance. He is simply not going to be able to outbox Wlad.

    i think theres just a few hype-ists who make it seem worse than it is.

    i'm a haye fan but he's clearly the underdog coming into this fight.

    For me its a contradiction.......As while i truely believe Haye is the underdog and will be in the betting odds too. I will still be very suprised should Haye lose.

    If Wlad wins it will not be an upset. Neither man is a solid favorite in my eyes.

    Seriously, this has to be the worst post ever posted on ESB.Almost everything you wrote is wrong.
    It´s either the result of you living in the UK and being biased as **** or you know that your post is ridiculously off-base but you need the attention.
