I think a 7th round TKO is the most likely scenario with Haye showing signs of a top level pugilist along the way. At this point in Boxing, I honestly feel that a Super-Heavyweight division is needed; size differential will dictate the outcome of this great contest, guaranteed.
The current HW division is dismal and distressed. Lumping SHW in with HWs is a poor strategy, but helps otherwise handicapped fighters to maintain advantage over a lopsided field of small contenders. This is why the Klits will never be considered ATGs. They only operate under controlled and "set" environment, custom designed for average skilled, OVER SIZED Russians.
So you can have a lot of nobodies claiming they are the heavyweight champ of the world... **** THAT!!
No way... just because there's nobody on the moment that can beat the Klits doesn't mean there should be a different division. When Lewis was ruling, should there have been a different divison also? People who are saying that, actually say they're in a league of their own or something. If we had guys like Tyson, Ray Mercer, or even a guy like prime McCall right now we wouldn't have this crap now because they would have a real good chance to beat them. And yes, Haye probably will suffer the same fate as Brock... That's what I'm counting on. But that's his and the fans own bloody fault. He should have build up his level of opponents to improve his skills and not wanting to go out big with a lot of cash. If his fans didn't buy any of his crap, maybe he would be pushed into the normal route a contender should have and actually have a much better chance right now.
Calvin Brock was controlled and kept boxing back at a moderate pace since round 1 until Wladimir was comfortable enough to throw that long right down the pipe at the sitting duck. Haye is not the boxing banker... Neither he is going to box nor Wladimir will feel comfortable to punch. It is Klitschko tryin to establish the jab for almost half of the fight and Haye bursting out with bombs before they clinch! Haye is going to score more powerpunches.
SHW division is a very good idea. It would allow charismatic and talented heavyweights b/w 200-225 to have their day in the sun, without being dethroned by a 300-lbs no-talent Don King freakjob. Tyson/Fraizer/Spinks would get destroyed against a prime Klit. THey are too small to be competitive--Wlad would make them his ***** just like he did with Chris Byrd, Eddie Chambers, and Calvin Brock.
I dont think a TKO is on the cads, i think a full order eyeballs-inside-the-head lights out free-falling spectacular is on the cards. Wlad is going to unleash hell on that little boy's face.
