I think a key point here is the the speed/mobility disparity will allow Haye to land with realtive ease, which will help his stamina; he won't be wasting his shots and he won't be missing (which tires you out). I can't picture how someone, even Valuev, can stand up to, or at least remain anywhere near their optimum fighting state after taking several of Hayes shots to the face and body. I'm terrified that Haye will win this then be robbed by the judges.
I too find it very hard to believe that Haye will get a decision. He will be expecting the knockout or at least some knockdowns otherwise he will realise he has little or no chance on the scorecards.
Haye is so agile and fast handed, I see him being very effective at getting inside Valuev's jab and landing his powerful shots to the body, yes. Its when Haye starts to land to the head, at at upward angle, is what will be interesting. Haye has said punching that high up uses different muscles than normal, straight punching, so it'll be interesting to see how much KO power Haye has when punching up to the 6 foot 11.1 inch Valuev's massive head, and solid chin. This fight is gonna be interesting, to say the least. I love the biblical promotional poster they've got for it: David and Goliath. LOL Very fitting angle and very powerful. Valuev's head is almost twice as big as Haye's LOL This content is protected
My previous points about Ruiz and Barrett give me a decent amount of confidence that Haye can both land on and hurt Valuev. Daft as it sounds, that makes this fight SO much more comfortable for Haye. Both of them knowing Haye can hurt him will affect both their actions tbh.
It's a fair point because I have never seen Valuev hurt! I think after 1 round of taking body shots he will realise that Haye can hurt him. If not Haye's in big trouble.
Haye needs to keep moving. Do a bit of a RJJ impression and try to tag him the way Mayweather kept catching Corrales.
Haye's trainers better be serious today, cause if they dont throw in the towel soon enough, that big bear from St. Petersburg, Russia will dismantle him. :deal
Well I'll make a deal with you. If Valuev dismantals Haye I'll come on here and let you tell me how right you were. I expect the same in reverse theough.:thumbsup
I look for Haye to use waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much movement in this fight. (Hope he don't waste himself just trying to avoid the inside) Those who think Haye will rush Valuev, I suggest you forget that gameplan. (I would be shocked If that happened...) DH will prob use movement in hopes The giant follows him around the ring drop's his guard late Until haye can capitalize on a lumbering giant.
oh dont worry, ive talked a lot of ****, and i will eat crow if by some odd chance i were to be wrong. but i wont be :deal
If that happens then damn this is gonna be exciting. Gotta try and work out where I'm gonna watch it so catch you all laterz. Enjoy the fight. Come on the Hayemaker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
