Hayes a hard puncher but Valuev is a big guy and his head looks like it's made of granite. What are the chances of Haye KO'ing Valuev? I think Haye will damage his hands if he lands a power punch on Valuev's skull !
I think Haye will need to stop Valuev to win and I expect him to stop the big Russian around the 8th. Haye has great power and the skill to use it, he is far different from anything Valuev has faced before. Hopefully Haye will land hard shots at will for a few rounds and Valuev will look incredibly slow and poor until he gets saved.
There's a difference between a stoppage and a K/O My money is on Haye STOPPING Valuev late on, but a K/O......................? No chance mate :good
Same goes for haye, hes never faced anyone like this before. I wish i had your confidence. I cant make a prediction here
Read my other posts. I think I have made a bold prediction about everything happening in this fight apart from an alien invasion. I have huge confidence in Haye but I know he is extremely fragile chin wise.
If Haye doesn't manage to land a really clean punch on Valuev's chin in the first four rounds or so I think Valuev will stop him late on. Maybe Haye can carry knockout power up to heavyweight but stamina's a different matter. Haye looked knackered against Barrett even after a few rounds.
hell no, man i dont even see haye winning, those mothos are just too BIG and being in Germany!!! It's either haye stops him or gets robbed !
i Know basically **** all about Valeuv aprt from he's a big hairy ****. Has he ever been hurt, had to take a step back? Haye can bang, has Valeuv ever been in with a big puncher?
I can actually see Valuev wobbling Haye more than Haye wobbling Valuev. I think Valuev is going to win unfortunately. I ****ing hope not though!
I dreamt last night that Haye knocked him clean out in the 2nd round... I also have an accumulator on with Haye beating Valuev by KO as one of the bets, so hopefully it was a premonition rather than a dream
Haye will KO him, if Brad Pitt could KO that big chap in Snatch then nothing to stop Haye doing the same to Valuev.
Good luck with the bet,Im going to have a bet on Haye getting some kind of stoppage,he has the tools to do it,Ive seen a dozen or so Valuev fights and all his opponents were picked in my opinion because they couldnt bang with any great power so is Sauerland protecting him? I think so,plus theres a huge body to work on if Haye cant always reach that head!!,good body shots can be sickening in the extreme and can stop any fighter..............
Think there is probably more chance of Valuev winning by KO as Valuevs chin is proven at heavyweight where as Hayes has been suspect. I certainly can't see Haye winning by an early KO, and with Valuev's 300lb body leaning on Haye everytime they clinch think his stamina will be even worse than usual, meaning a late KO would be unlikely. I would love to see Haye win but really fear for him in this one.
