Haye and Vitali were having a nice, civlised meal finalising the details for their fight....just as they were about to shake hands, Haye presented Klitschko with the infamous picture in this months Men's Health issue of him holding Wladimir's decapitated head.... Vitali reacted furiously and apparently a bout of wrestling broke out.... Now on the face of it, many would feel this was a bit tasteless and nasty to say the least....but that little provocative gesture, especially in the context it came in (meal in fancy restaurant) could prove to be a signficant psychological blow, delivered by Haye to Vitali.... Will he become angry and unfocused as Liston did all those years ago with Ali? It's an interesting tactic, and one that has got me thinking for sure. Plus, it builds hype for the fight.
That will just spur on Vitali to give Haye a right old spanking. Vit will control the fight from round 1 and Haye will not last 12.
Haye has got the guts, the power and the combinations to deliver the power - but he badly needs a 15 round set of lungs and legs for this one imo.
He will never develop that without the roadwork and he hates doing that so concentrates on speed/sprinting etc with Ladejo.
Absolutely right. The good thing is that he has 6 months to prep for this...he needs to stay off of the weights and spar his arse of.
Crazy really when he is in a sport that is essentially a hardcore 36 minute exercise What's that equivalent to time-wise, a 10,000 metre race or something? And he's training with a sprinter...
Closer to the time this fight is going to be HUGE!!! I want him to win, but it's hard to get fully behind Haye though like you would say Bruno...
vitali's last opponent peter was absolute shite, so its not like he has had a good warm up fight for haye, plus hes bin out a long time b4 that. i reckon haye will win this 1. he shud of took wlad 1st tho, he would smash him no mither.
I really like David Haye and he is fun to watch. The Klitschkos are beatable. Anyone who lands cleanly on Wladimir who can punch will retire him. Vitali is tougher hence the reason Haye has picked him. Haye goes for the glory. What a fighter and what a man. Win or lose he has definitely got my respect.
