I personally think that Haye will take it. I think fast fighters trouble Wladimir, i think that Haye has alot of versitility in his fighting ability, not only that, i think he has very powerful hands (look at when he knocked down Ruiz). Wladimir's style seems to play to his reach advantage, to keep it long with his jab and grind his challangers down. No doubt the man is an incredible champion, but from what i have seen (only a few fights) he seems to be quite one dimensional and nobody has had the brains to take the sting from his destructive style. Adam Booth is a clever trainer and maybe him and David Haye have the smarts to adjust Davids tactics to dull Wladimir's attributes. Now you know my oppinion, id like to hear yours. KO or points? what tactics will David come with?, how will Wladimir adjust? Chuck.
I think haye will come prepared with a gameplan and have early success, but Wlad will adjust and take him out in the mid to late rounds... Will be rooting for Haye though.
What people seems to forget is that Haye isnt an inside fighter like Sanders was.. Haye likes to stay on the outside, pot-shot and use his athletisme to avoid shots.. I just dont see that working against Wlad, especially when you consider that Haye dont have a chin himself, that his foot work is medicore, that his defense is pretty average.. Overall i think that Haye will have a tough time getting past that jab of Wlad, and i dont see Haye hitting Wlad with his bombs (unless he gets lucky with one of his pot shots). if Haye had a solid chin and was a relentless pressure fighter then this fight would have been completely different.. But he just isnt..
i agree,i think everyone is underestimating haye and booth,purely cuz they dislike them. i think haye can be versatile and mix up what he needs to do,can stick to a game plan and adapt his style to do so. should he work hard in training,keep focused and sharp in the fight,he can do it.
hayes speed vs wlads great timing and great jab..we all knows what wins...id also like to point out because wlad lost to sanders dosnt mean he has trouble with speed.plz stop listening to haye it makes u look foolish...i love when his fans repeat what he says its comical.i mean haye saying wlad has lost all his fights to fast agressive guys then use guys repeat it..im sorry to inform you..but purity sanders and brewster aint fast sanders won being agressive yes many others have tryd to be agressive but didnt succeed..purrity and brewster beat him did they do it with speed and agressiveness??hell no i dont call gettin beat on untill the guy beating ur ass tires out being agressive with speed..its about time use guys wake up haye might win but it wont be because of the reasons haye and his fans keep saying
