Haye phones Lennox Lewis for boxing tips ahead of Klitschko fight

What's the point?

It's not like Lewis has fought Wlad Klitschko, he's an outsider like the rest.

And Lewis & Haye are completely different fighters, he would of fought a very different way.

He should just concentrate on devising a gameplan himself and with Adam Booth rather than relying on Lewis.

 

I think having Emmanuel Steward in his corner for nearly 9 years gives him more insight than most into the things Wlad will have been taught. If either of the Klitschko's were compared to Lewis it would be Wlad that has the more similar style, albeit more tentative, but this is due to the simple fact that they both shared the same trainer for so long.

Even if none of that were true would there really be anything wrong with getting advice from one the best heavyweights of all time?

 

Good point. I still don't think it's that wise a move, it may be a little help but it's certainly not going to win him the fight.

 

All the fighters Lennox gave tips to, were KTFO by either Klitschko. Haye wont be an exception....

 

even by your reasoning it still sounds like its worth a try, aint gonna do no harm.

 

Like Sanders you mean?

 

Haye: 'Any tips?'

Lewis: 'Keep your f***ing left hand up.'

Haye: 'Is that all?'

Lewis: 'Until you learn to do that there's no point me giving you any other tips.'

 

What is Haye keeping his left hand up going to do? You think Wlad won't be able to punch straight through it?

Keeping his left hand up means he's in a worse position to slip the right hand, and also in a worse position to throw big left hooks.

 

yeah the textbook cover up cant be done with wlad i think. he will punch right

through any guard. i reckon that haye needs to keep moving to his left (onto

wlads right i know) to null wlads jab and then step back and throw the

counter right after wlad throws that big left hook. wat u think?


also haye seems to be talking like the fight will be over after 3/4. what u

reckon will happen if wlad wants the main part of the fight to be 5-9.

will haye be able to still do damage cos he doesnt seem to like his cardio

 

Haye says in article "I know it's a hard fight" ...Haye previously said WK would be his easiest fight.

Haye says in article "I know Lennox can help me prepare for and beat this big lump." ...Haye previously said he has WK all figured out, I know what he's about and he's tailor made for me.

Bettors Beware of backing the inconsistent one who talks out of his both sides of his mouth.

 

i dont think haye haye really belives its going to be an easy fight. its just hype to build the fight

 

More inconsitency: he said the contract percentages and money were all agreed long ago, now he's talking about all these BS concessions he was forced to make.

lots of smokescreens from Mr. Haye. wonder what he's hiding.

 

bullish!

haye with his man adam will sum up their own plan etc.

 

He also said, after saying he'd take over the heavyweight division, that he'd retire if he couldn't beat Barrett. Guess it depends what day you're talking to him.
