    Probably a very daft question this, but what exactly is the method to neutralize a jab? And on top of that a consistent, powerful one?

    Haye is definitely a little elusive and slippery (not as much as he thinks, mind), so i'm just wondering what his tactic is gonna be. Is he gonna circle and potshot like the Valuev fight?

    I like both guys in this fight honestly. Cool avatar by the way Ruskull! Best Pizza around I see.

    I call 'em like I see 'em and I say Wlad's jab will control things and eventually set Haye down on his seat a few times before a final step in from the ref.

    While a big shocker KO would be entertaining from Haye, I just don't see it happening.

    I think even if Haye batters the **** out of Wlad, the ref will keep him on his feet long enough for a points victory. I can even see a situation where the ref warns Haye for punching - it's happened before in Germany.

    In my opinion it comes down to defense

    Huge advantage for Wlad, thus.........

    WLAD BY KO

    it can be looked at both ways, if Haye fights like the smaller man which we know he will box he wont go right after Wlad, however if he stays small Wlad is going to have to reach down to find him, and Wlad doesnt exactly have a strong defense, he has holding tactics if you want to call that defense please go right ahead.
    People havent brought this up at all, and I will, The klitschkos have been around for a while now, and though Vitali hasnt been in tuff fights like Wlad, both are getting older, and one night not saying the night that Wlad fights haye but you never know, one night someone is going to show that age.
    We all know wlad has been on the deck to quick bangers, the question is though Haye is quick is he a banger at HW? and if so, can wlad take it?
    I really think its a pick em fight, I am leaning towards haye....

    Cruiser weight is not that much further south than HW lets be real, and look at how many cruisers have moved up and won titles at HW.... it can and has been done.
