Let's Stop Everything And Get Down To What Really Matters. Wlad or Haye? Who You Got?

Maybe it's wishful thinking but I'm going with Haye.

He's got a combination of speed and power that you don't see very often, and certainly not by any other Heavyweight right now. If he uses that speed to get in-and-out quickly and land his power-shots, there's every chance he can do it.

Wlad has been incredibly dominany with his jab in the last few years and, if he can establish it, Haye will be in a lot of trouble. Haye should use more head movement than usual, along with his speed. It should be a lot harder for Wlad to time him though, than the likes of Peter, Chagaev and Chambers.

With Haye's chin, it's possible Wlad could blow him away if he's uncharacteristically aggressive or if Haye goes too wild early on.

Anything could happen - and that's the reason I'm looking forward to it so much.

 

he will fight vitali!

 

I don't like either fighter but why is nobody giving Haye a chance? I honestly think Haye knocks him out. Haye has great footwork, good head movement, good speed and of course great power! I think a lot of you are going to be surprised when this fight is over. I think most of you are being blinded by your hate for Haye.

 

yeah. people have this idea that haye's elusive... man they're in for a shock.

 

...Yes, lets make an alternative reality where Haye stumbles into the ring like a zombie and doesn't act or react like he ever has in any of his previous fights...

Haye win by KO in round 4. Wlad is in for one hell of a beating.

 

Wlad is the much better fighter, but I don't know, I'm siding with Haye, I've just got a feeling.

 

Wlad by late round KO.

 

Wlad is very consistent at fighting his style... Haye likes to stand up with his hands low and pounce inside, tag his opponent and try to pounce out again. This is exactly the wrong strategy to use against a fighter with a thudding jab and an iron right hand.

Haye has signed for the fight with Wlad before, you just hope tht he's been training on a strategy all this time. With some head movement, pivoting and moving on the inside after he's thrown shots and showing some decent lateral movement. If he does you hope it'll be a decent fight.

 

what can i say, we'll just have to wait and see. looking forward to it!

 

Nope, Lewis-Vitali in '03 & Lewis-Tyson* in '02 were bigger fights.


*Tyson was a shot-to-**** zombie, but it was still a bigger "Superfight" despite being a farcical-mismatch at that point in time.

 

If Wlad is fit and ready I do not see Haye winning this one. Wlad is too good an all round fighter. Haye will be cautious early on a when he does let loose he will be put in his place by Wlad. Mid to late rounds TKO win for Wlad or maybe a boring pts win if Haye doesn't fancy mixing it up with Wlad and being on the end of his steelhammer.

 

The comparison wasn't the fight, the comparison was the eventual finish (I thought I made that fairly clear)...Haye running out of steam somewhat, and Wlad hitting him with hard, accurate shots to get the finish.

Not sure his usual countering will work, Wlad has an excellent jab, his reflexes will have to be spot on for him to repeat a Valuev type job. Wlad is scared of power (scared is probably harsh, wary of power)...which is why I believe Haye needs to go for it early.

 

Haye KO2 hopefully

 

Well Booth has said if Haye beats Wlad then Vitali is next and with Hayes retirement plans that fight wont happen.
