How many believe Wlad has the intention of punishing Haye for 12 long rounds?

    I've never seen Wlad take a chance and get a guy out of there early before, so why would I think he will do it now?

    I anticipate 10 rounds of pawing and holding until Wlad finally decides to take out a guy whose been ready to fall since the fourth. You know, the typical Klit fight.

    Apparently you haven't watched Wlad fight very much. Before losses to Sanders and Brewster, Wlad was an offensive juggernaut who constantly stretched foes early.:thumbsup

    Admittedly, no, I didn't watch much of Wlad's early career. If he ever was a juggernaut, that was 10 years ago, so I'll stick with my prediction.

    Wlad will have to apply constant pressure from the start. That is the way to win for him. Haye on his part is unable to put pressure on Wlad. He likes to run and ambush.

    Wlad will catch him with the left hook at the ropes when Haye will be moving to the right.

    Yeah he was. And looked how it worked out against Sanders. I can't see him doing it again, and risking a repeat of that fight can you?

    If he plays it safe, he should win this fight EASY.

    If he takes chances, IMO Haye could catch him. and if he does, Wlad's in trouble. so why risk it?

    Not a chance in hell.

    Haye carries his power into the late rounds, why risk dominating 11 1/2 rounds only to get caught and sparked?

    This will be jab jab clinch, jab jab - ooooo straight right clinch, jab jab jab clinch, clinch, clinch, jab etc etc from both men.

    I hope I'm wrong but for as long as it lasts it will be boring as ****.

    It will play out exactly like the prizefighter final between Audley Harrison and Coleman Barrett. Haye, like Barrett, will be on the attack for a few rounds with Wlad, like Audley, being very defensive and clinching a lot...then as soon as he throws a big punch it will send haye spinning. Wlad KO 3 or 4.
