Anyone think this will go to the cards? I'm thinking Haye will stop Wlad late. Either in, or just before, the championship rounds.
Wlad will be looking to make a statement in this fight. I don't think it gets to the halfway point even. I'm going with Wlad by KO/TKO in 2 or 3. Expect Haye to hit the canvas a few times in the process.
Haye did not even have great stamina at Cruiserweight much less Heavyweight. Do you even consider this before making a prediction? No way this fight makes it to the championship rounds. I see Wlad getting Haye out of there in 4 rounds or less. Wlad's jab is as hard as some of those Cruiserweights punches.
The only way this fight goes 12 is if Haye feels wlad's power in the early rounds and gets on his bike for the remainder of the fight. Wlad would get tired of chasing him and it could lead to a boring 12 round fight.. But i think this will be short and explosive.. Like a 6 round fight..
Wlad will punish Haye, for seven or eight rounds. He will pummel him with the jab, Haye will look **** and out of his depth, but he will hang in there until deep into the fight, and then land that one killer punch that sends Wlad crashing to the canvas. Mark my words, Haye wins via KO :deal Vitali will be next.
This is a very possible scenario...most people have claimed that Wlad's jab is like a right hand itself. A lot of guys feel Wlad's power and are forced to back off.
If glass jaw rahman had a little respect to himself and tried to go for the wlad he would be killed much earlier.
Maybe Haye will surprise everybody like Vitali did against Lewis... He can lose the fight and win the event. Anybody feel the same way?
