David Haye vs. Alexander Povetkin

Povetkin TKO

 

Povetkin UD. Haye with a good puncher's chance though!

 

Povetkin by early knockout, 3rd round Im guessing.

 

good match up. I would rather see povetkin fight haye than wlad at this point. he is not ready. to go from donald and byrd to wlad is crazy.

To me, haye is a poor man's wlad at this point and would test povetkins chin. I feel Povetkin's relentless style will wear haye down by the 7/8 round but Povetkin's untested chin may come into play. Haye clearly has some stamina/chin issues he needs to work out.

Povetkin is already a legit hw contender but still has some questions like his chin and power. IMO, Haye is the top hw prospect. Great physical skills but totally unproven at hw w/major but correctable defieciencies.

People complain about Wald nuthuggers, but anyone saying Haye would beat Wlad are certifable at this point. Wlad would starch Haye with his jab at this point :yep

 

Haye if he can sort his defence out, as it stands povetkin by early k.o.

 

Povetkin beats Haye on points. I think he may box cagey so he doesn't get caught by Haye's powerful shots. Haye's defence may let him down again and Povetkin, despite not having many fights, is quite rounded as a fighter. I think he is smart enough to outbox Haye and win down the stretch.

 

At this point this fight is unfare on Haye, Povetkin has way more experience. My guess is Povetkin TKO 8. Lets see if Haye can imrpove his defence and ring smarts first in fights with some gatekeepers.

 

How does povetkin have more experience, haye is the cruiserweight world champion povetkin isn't at that level yet.

 

Way more experience at heavyweight, both as an amateur and a professional.

 

povetkin by ko. early to midround.

 

He has less pro experience than haye and even if though it is at heavyweight i don't see what difference it makes.

 

The guys Povetkin faced punch a lot harder than Haye opponents. Haye needs to improve his defence ten-folds if he is to make serious impact at heavyweight.

 

Povetkin wins that one by KO.

Povetkin has tremendous handspeed and accuracy. Hayes defense is partly a catastrophe. He is soooo open for a quick right straight and right hook and his chin is only mediocre.
