Think your in for a surprise. I am not calling it a mismatch. I just don't think Haye will come out the way he needs, to win this fight FROM THE START like he needs to. Haye may have a gameplan, execution is another story and I don't think Haye will be able to do so. I am not saying Haye has no chance, I am saying Haye can not fight like with Audely or Valueve, Haye needs to try to take it to Wald from the first round...not the 3 or 4. Longer it goes the harder it will be for Haye. Longer it goes as well I see Haye having stamina issues. Haye has no chance in hell of going 12 rounds in this fight, He does not have the stamina to do so in this kind of fight. Leaves 2 options for Haye, early KO/TKO. Brings me back to my original point...for that to happen Haye needs to blast away from the very start....I can not see Haye wanting to do that. It may be his gameplan, but thinking and execution are 2 different things as I have already pointed out.
^^ good job. Waffle much, people, lol. This is a prediction thread, not a 'cover all scenarios/save face thread' Man up. Show some balls. I predict a Klitschko win by TKO in less than four rounds.
Yea, I think Haye has to come out blazing, if this turns into a boxing match Haye just has no chance. Wlad has been so good at imposing his game, it's going to be really hard for Haye to change it. I just don't seeing it a favorable outcome for him unless he comes out really aggressive.
I'm prediction: The referee tells them to touch gloves. When they do, Haye is staggered. And the fight is stopped....
I agree with pretty much all of what you say here. I do think Haye will start his lunging swarming attacks, though, as early as round three. I think he'll nail Wlad and get Wlad in trouble, but Wlad's ability to tie up and lean on Haye will save him. I then see Steward telling Wlad *how big a man he is* and coercing Wlad to get on Haye, which he will, in round five, and probably put Haye out by round six. But it won't be an easy win for Wlad. I think it'll be touch and go for a while, cause you know Haye's power and speed is gonna come into play at some point, and Wlad may well get knocked OUT by it. We'll have to wait and see, but I also give Haye a chance at winning. It'll be Wlads toughest fight yet..............toughest that he's won, I mean to say. Maybe even as touch and go as the first PEter fight was. Regardless of if you like Haye or not, he is one HELLACIOUS puncher. No doubt about it. But so is Wlad. That combined with both guys' being KOed in the past is what makes this fight the epic that it is going to be.
If Haye were to win, it be between the first 3 rounds. I think Wlad has the potential to KO him in any round.. I'll say Wlad by 3rd KO, although I would take some pleasure if it went a lot later with Haye getting jabbed to a pulp, without any successful attempt to neutralize it. I have a slight feeling that Haye could come out in a very low defensive stance using a lot of lateral movement knowing that Wlad doesn't throw an overhand right as good as Vitali does, and if that's the case it will be a late stoppage for Wlad.
IMO, I think one of the fighters will be exposed to be a fraud. If Haye wins convincingly, I'd feel as if Wlad's reign was of a mediocre champion in an even mediocre division... But if Wlad wins convincingly, it will show Haye to be nothing more than all talk... Though that IS polarising it a bit!
You may be correct on that point. I don't think it will be looked upon as a fraud though. 1 of the 2 may have weekeness exposed in this fight. Don't think that will equate to a fraud though. I think the word fraud is quite harsh.
