If true it will shut the haters on the general up. Takes big balls to step in with Vitali in your 3rd fight at HW. Did he say where in London?
More I think about this the more I fear for Haye. He would have had a great chance against Wlad but Vitali?! Really hope he can pull of the upset.
Don't think anyone ever really questioned Haye's guts. I hate all this bollocks about being labelled a 'hater' if you are of the opinion that Haye will lose. Personally I think he has been a bit too brave this time. As outlined above he should have been a bit more patient. He could have gone a different steadier route and eventually got to Wlad then Vitali. Just my spin on it. This poweder keg punch wasn't enough to spark Monte Barrett completely. He knocked him down 5 times (or whatever it was) but he didn't put him to sleep. He will need to put Vitali to bed before the Ukranian lands flush on him. Vitali won't be anywhere as easy to hit as Barrett and you can be sure Vitali will hit a hell of a lot harder and more often too. I can see Haye looking flashy and effective (ish) in the first couple of rounds then getting buzzed with something like a counter right as he goes looking for a big bingo shot. Vitali takes his time and doesn't jump in and takes Haye out Round 5
yeah i agree with this post TFFP I dont understand what Haye is thinking I dont know why he is so confident of beating Vitali I think he will get a rude awakening and Vitali will destroy him
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ot...BC-title-fight-with-Vitali-could-be-made.html Just saw this. Him talking bollocks doesn't help. Wlad might not be the most exciting fighter (understatement I know) but to call his performance abysmal is just a load of old wank.
Ha Vitali ever been knocked down? I don't think he has. Credit to Haye for chasing the big fights though...
Maybe he'd rather fight the best and give it his best shot than try to politic and manoeuvre his way through the sport Who knows, controversial idea these days, but maybe he's even actually honest with himself and wouldn't in his heart be able to think he's a champion without beating the guy regarded as the best fighter out there You guys are jaded by the politics of the sport, Haye should be applauded All that said I think another fight or two would've prepared him better
All right I know this sounds REALLY REALLY stupid but my pick for Vitali v Haye is Haye UD12. There I've said it. I think Haye uses his speed to outpoint Vitali, Haye should realise that the chances of him KO'ing Vitali are almost nil therefore he prepares for the 12 rounds and bases his gameplan on speed and lateral movement. :deal.
it has, straight from him. I heard it live. Interview started with steve bunce going on about Haye as a possible sports personality of the year next year, haye then said he had an announcement coming up this week. buncey made him spill the beans and haye said the fight was signed early this morning and would take place in June. most likely london as Vit is happy to come on over. Buncey asked him if it was 100% and he said he has signed the contract and is 100% on for june
