Haye wins the first couple rounds all of his punches landing and bouncing off Arreolas chin then in the mid rounds haye gets sloppy his hands get lower and take a huge counter hook his chin shatters and the fight ends
Arreola wont catch Haye. Haye's performance against Barrett is nothing to judge him by so I think you American yanks out there are misguided on how Haye can really fight. He has much better boxing skills than Arreola and he would knock Arreola out.
If you had watched him as he was coming up and the way he dealt with everyone he faced you will see that he used boxing skills to get them out of there. He is always in good shape and he always has a gameplan. The only fight where he lost was against Carl Thompson and David was still up and coming and gathering experience and he had punched himself out which was basically a good learning experience for him. He has been down a few times but he has always got back up and won so that is the difference. He went down against Mormeck but that was of a slip on the advertising board than a hard knockdown. When he was stopped by Thompson, he was still on his feet but the ref jumped in so I think you guys do need to check out his previous fights, not just 1 fight and then judge him off that. You cant judge a fighter from his last performance because if this was the case, everyone who predicted Margarito to beat Mosley would have been right.
One thing that can be said for David is that when he has been knocked down, he tends to get up straight away and doesn't look dazed for long if at all.
I don't envision anything out of those Wlad-Vit's "semi-finals" but as far as Arreola-Haye would go, you gat to have two things in mind: Christobal's chin is not a factor since Haye hits him hard enough to make him go anywhere but into oblivion ( doesn't matter if Walker hit him easy and hard and still he won, Haye hits him as hard and moves out of the way so it's one way traffic); Christobal's right hammer shot is not a factor as long as Haye doesn't slug it out with the slugger and who says this one is to be/ would be a pure slugfest?
if arreola has trouble taking travis walker's shots he won't take 6 rounds of haye bouncing shots off him.
I think Haye beats Arreola but it would be an absolute war. I wouldn't be suprised if Haye came up short in this one....but I would expect him to have too much for Arreola.
Haye would be too fast, precise, and powerful for Arreola. I think he would storm through him quite early actually. Every time Arreola tried to open up Haye would counter him. Arreola doesn't have the speed or footwork at 260 lbs. to land anything significant on a someone as fast as Haye. If Arreola trimmed off 25-30 lbs. then maybe we would see a competitve match, Haye would still win in all likelihood, but at least it would be a good fight.
All all out war! I'd love to see this! I think Haye outclasses Chris until around round 4 then goes into that mode where he starts making mistakes and dropping his hands as he always does when he's ahead then it's going to be lights out for poor ole Hayemaker. Haye would see exactly how much more power the heavyweights have comapired to the guys who have knocked him down and out before at cruiserweight. Great fight though, I'd root for either fighter to win. Two tornado type fighters actually squaring off against each other. Great hype type of fight too! :happy
