David Haye v Vitali Klitschko: Official breakdown thread

If this happens it'll be such an interesting fight.. much debating in the build up.. so much to say about this fight... right now I've got a feeling it could be a bit of a war*:

1: The punch that Haye tried a number of times again Wlad in the first 3/4 rounds ( to be on the ropes, lure Klitschko just too close and throw quick left hook/ jab straight right) is designed for a fast, explosive fighter like Haye to use against VITALI. Even before the Wlad fight, I've noticed that this is a punch that Vitali's somewhat vulnerable to (he won't just stay on the outside like Wlad, if an opponent is on the ropes, Vitali will adavnce and try to land): See Sanders fight round 1, Solis fight, (more on this later), even a few times against Kevin johnson

2: wlad was able to jump back but did'nt attempt to counter, he got out of range and reasserted his aggressive stance and threatened haye with his jab and right hand, Vitali doesn't, he will try to counter ( see the Solis knockout and a lot of other times in his fights).. plus very IMPORTANT point.. something that in my opinion could make this fight a lot more exciting than the Haye- Wlad fight and even make it a classic... I don't believe ( and I'm sure most of you would agree?) Vitali's footspped or athleticism at this point are as good as Wlad's so I don't think he'll be quick enough to do the jump back and reassert yourself tactics Wlad used... he'll have to try and move back and counter or time Haye's attacks and land jabs/ rights to disrupt them... that vould lead to a classic fight!

I'll write some more later but I'd like to see what everyone thinks, if you disagree with anything I've observed then let me know and if you've got any technical points to add please do.. I would have put GIFs but they won't seem to work..


Looking forward to this one!

* Not to say that you couldnt make an argument it could be an uneventful UD for Vitali atsch
