Just look into Don Kings eyes. He already knows whose going to win.:hey

Valuev is somewhat erratic. He looked great against Beck, mediocre against Barret, great against Lyakhovic, pretty good during the Ruiz rematch (nice jab), but mediocre against Bergeron and downright **** against Holyfield.

I expect most trainers to have figure this out by now, but Valuev's HUGE weakness is his footspeed. Even a 46 year old Holyfield managed to stay out of trouble for most of the fight because he stayed on the backfoot. This is probably what determines how good Valuev looks. Liakhovic, by nature, isn't on the backfoot much, which made for a great fight with Brewster, but also ensured he got hit very often by that 86", 7 foot jab of Valuev.

The tactic of landing a few combinations per round and staying away for the remainder, is almost failsafe and was executed well by Chagaev, Donald and Holyfield (but only Chagaev got the decision, he was also most convincing but the others should've gotten the win nonetheless). If Haye can do that, he can win a rather easy decision.

Make that: with the PROVEN exception of Wlad. Vitali might also be the better puncher in the sense that he's more likely to stop his opponent, even if he is not nearly as good with a single punch.

 

I can see some serious missiles and hand grenades getting launched tommorow night.

Ah, gotcha (Figured anyway).

 

No you never you said a specific round, you never said which round. This is probably a bit late but good luck tonight lad.

 

The guy on the left looks like he's one of the Adam's family. So does Valuev, come to think of it.

 

His whole camp fell out of an ugly tree.
