Wladimir Klitschko vs. David Haye - Prediction Thread

I'm in a a very small minority but I believe Haye will win comfortably on points and employ a similar tactic to his Valuev fight.

I think Haye will be very slick and lighter then his previous fights at HW. I see Haye being very defensive and using the whole ring but not as mobile as he was against Valuev, Wlad is a different style(compared to Valuev's no style). I read that he is training with Andre Dirrell, which backs up my prediction somewhat of him focusing on body/head movement. I also read he is focusing very hard on conditioning as he does not want to gas out like he did vs Tony Thompson a while back and get stopped.

If he stands and trades with Wlad he'll be out of there quicker then Solis(btw I know Solis fought Vitali, so no trolling). But he is too smart to do that.

 

Guys, Wlad has put down quality guys like Brewster, Mercer, Peter, McCline, Byrd, Brock, Chambers, Rahman, Chagaev, and Thompson. Who has Haye knocked down at heavyweight that compares to these guys?

 

I believe a new poll is in order to take into account Haye's new haircut.

 

RIP David Haye

 

Haye quits on his stool in 8 rounds.

 

Wlad 11th round KO, Haye will have his moments but ultimately a big left hook or straight right will detonate on a tiring Haye.

 

Ultimately the fight will be won by the real fighter with the bigger set of balls.

So it's David Haye by brutal stoppage.

Unless Wlad finds a way to land the jab well when Haye launches his attacks. Which he may well do.

 

Haye has no chance of outboxing Wlad. None.

Haye has no chance of lasting 12 rounds with Wlad. None.

Haye's only chance is to force a stoppage, and within 3 rounds.

Once Wlad starts effectively implementing plan 'jab and grab'.............Haye will become exhausted pretty quickly.

 

Nah

 

This could well happen. If Haye lasts that long.

I really see Haye going for an early stoppage, but if he fails.............I expect Wlad to stop him within 8 rounds.

 

I think Monte Barrett said something similar about Haye's power, along the lines of Haye being very quick, snappy and explosive but not carrying a great deal of weight behind the punches:good

 

War wlad

 

I think some people are overestimating David Haye's punch resistance. I seriously think that a decent jab from Wlad will hurt Haye pretty badly.

And something I haven't heard anybody mention..............it's a monumental jump in class from Audley Harrison to Wladimir Klitschko. He's going from a C level fighter (and that's being generous) to an A level fighter (albeit with a C level chin).

very good points:good
