Haye can't win a war, he can't win a boxing match. He is outmatched in everything. He has the proverbial puncher's chance that any fighter has.
C`mon Chef get real!!!!!!Valuev was a freak given his size and weight,Wlad is nothing like Valuev and you are your boss are in for a massive shock if you think Haye is going to fight Wlad like he fought Valuev. Dont try and kid everyone that your boss isn`t wary of Hayes power and speed because he is worried about it. Your boss knows this is going to be the toughest test of his entire career.Haye isn`t a slow punch bag with eyes who is going to stand in front of Wlad like most of is opponents do. This is a tough fight to call and anyone with a bit of boxing knowledge could make a strong sensible case for either man winning or losing.Its just a shame that threads like this are taken up by people with too much hate to use a bit of common sense when evaluating the fighters.
Surprisingly the weather here has been gorgeous the last few days clear blue skies and very warm. :thumbsup
Actually that's more down to his usual 5 or 6 inches if height and reach. Not so much footwork but upper body movement leaning back when his much shorter opponents throw. The footwork itself is good but nothing special. The more significant factor is the height.
In opposition to most, I guess Haye presents several problems to Wladimir, starting with his fire power and Wlad's chin. Wlad's chin was exposed by Brewster, Sanders and Peter. He can't take those hayemakers so he expects to slow down the tempo, control the fight and catch him up when he's content to last the twelve round decision loss. However, I see things differently with Haye running desperately and carelessly towards Wlad's hands more at the end of the fight than in any other moment... Wlad doesn't counter big and take advantage of a careless oponent, he steps back and back and these are signs of danger - doesn't mix up but grabs, doesn't box on the back foot well either... I don't c anyone who can give more problems to this guy than Haye.
Because he isn't very active, is undersized (relative to Wlad), has a questionable chin, has never been in with anyone close to Wlad, isn't great defensively, and has overrated power.
FFS what next??? You gonna tell us that Haye`s career and astonishing achivements in 25 fights is a fluke and undeserved?
At heavyweight probably yes. He has a paper belt that should belong to Wlad after he stopped Chagaev, and he didn't even win the paper belt unanimously. I gave it to Val as did the commentators on Sky. Huffed and puffed against Ruiz and Fraudley was a con.
Wlad is a god damned joke! He is actually PLANNING on stinking out the joint and putting the paying fans to sleep!:-( What kind of prize fighter is he? Why does a guy like that have such devoted fans?:huh
Post your scorecard. You have to be blind to give that fight to Valuev. Post your scorecard or shut up.
Yep, the only chance Haye has is getting past Wlad's defense and knocking him out with a big shot or two, something that hasn't happened in a long time and likely won't. Wlad has him completely outmatched.
