I think the klitschkos are seriously deluded if they think they are going to have an easy night against David Haye. I haven't watched Vitali since LL believe it or not. However, I can't believe what I saw last night. The guy was open, unsteady on his feet, slow, lumbering. He looked just like that other lump Valuev, feasting on nobodies. Anyone with speed and power is going to be able to hit him at will. To think I actually believed Vitali would be the difficult one atsch
If Haye doesn't get knocked out by the wind from the Klitschko punches like Solis did, then yes he could give them trouble.
Yet Haye barely got by Valuev? And only dared let his hands go in the last round knowing the bell would save him should Valuev catch him with something. It's the Haye fans that are being deluded thinking Haye cqn do to Vitali what he couldn't to a much slower, much less mobile fighter with less skill and ability to deliver power puches in Valuev
Vitali is definately passed his prime and has been in steady decline for sometime now. I'm sure Haye's speed and power would give Vitali some problems early but just like with Solis, at some point Haye is gonna get caught and when that happens all his good work prior to that punch won't mean much when the referee is counting 10 over him.
Ha ha game over! I hope Haye v Wlad is competitive, basically because if Haye lands a bomb wlad might go, same applies if Wlad lands on Haye. But im pretty sure haye v Vitali goes the same way as the Solis fight.Unless age suddenly ruins Vitalis chin Haye aint gonna be able to knock him out, so he will have to take some shots from VK and when he does he'll be in trouble. Especially as despite what some people think Haye does like a bit of a tear up, which isn't really a good idea against bad ass VK.
If you rewatch Sanders vs Prime Vitali, Vitali is badly hurt by sanders punches in round 1 now sanders hit harder than haye, but i think haye could land a lot more than sanders on this 40 year old version of vitali. i could see haye giving big vit problems, but he wont get past wlad.
haye is going to get destroyed by vlad. he doesn't have it to walk through those jabs, and they ain't no ordinary jabs. Vital would brutalzie him. Monte Barret had him nearly out..
vitali is older now,his foowork and stance is so off and awful. his punches are not sharp and he hasnt got a defence,he didnt even lean back last night,he was upright and even lent forward at times,with a low left hand. he got hit with clean shots by solis,haye will easily land,and those punches will be faster and harder. Haye will move around a lot quicker and better than solis.
