Haye wins by KO early; Rahman doesnt have a great chin, is a bit passed it and is not hard to hit and is not exactly a speed merchant, and Haye has good enough reflex's to hardly get hit.
Haye by 'brutal' knock 'you into next week with the overhand right and try to bring some excitement back to HW division' Out
Basically whoever touches the other guy's chin first, it will probably be Haye since he is younger and Rahman is probably shot for what it's worth.
This fight looks pretty decent for Haye to step up into. An old shop worn former champ with a big name who he can look good against is a fine idea for him. I hope it happens. It had a chance a while ago but Haye went for Enzo.
Agreeing with what others have said, I view this as a perfect first fight for Haye. A recognisable name, former Undisputed champion who has won his last few (albeit in less than exalted class), and should be easy to look good against. Haye blasts him out in 3.
haye is too fast, and will beat the sluggish rahman to the punch everytime. his chin problems will most likely be decreased (or gone) with the jump to hvy. Haye KO1 is'nt a far fetched idea, considering how far past it rahman is.
Haye TKO2 Rahman Ive got the last two David Haye results 100% spot on result and round wise, and im confident that would be 3 in a row.
slightly off topic but an ideal fight for haye would be chazz witherspooon. witherspoon is unbeaten , but has little punch and has a hugely padded record. battle of unbeaten prospects as a bill and a relatively safe introduction to america and heavyweight division. IMO witherspoon would not have a prayer, but it would be good matchmaking on behalf of team haye. rahman proved v toney just last year i think it was, that in shape he is still a good heavy and could be a very dangerous opponent.
