Devise a strategy for David Haye to beat Vitally Klitschko

well to start with

his training would be working on making his legs fit by lots of running, sprints weighted squats, lunges etc... with lots of footwork drills involving moving in and out of range and using angles working with fast punches

sparring would ideally be with wladimir Klitshcko but that wouldnt happen so somebody with an upright style like vitali's (i cant think of any names just now) and another sparring partner who has a big punch and a decent punch and is tall.

on the night

david would have to use his footwork to get in and out quickly with fast 1 2s and jabs using angles as much as possible. the most important thing would be keep moving so vitali dosent get the chance t set his feet and throw a big shot. and it would have to be a safty first plan where haye would never go for the KO just be content for a points desicion

 

I dont think he can beat him personally.

Train as normal (he always looks in shape) & try to get inside as much as possible to take away VKs effective outside game, attack the body & head & pray you land one on his chin.

Thats the best I can do for Haye, I think he`s gonna get ****ed up but never say never in boxing.

 

Vitlai faced two cruiserweights that moved up. Both fighters had excellent distinction at cruiserweight. They were Herrbie Hide, and Orlin Norris. They lasted a combined three rounds vs. Vitlai Klitschko.

I do not expect Haye last long, unless he goes gun shy and completely changes his style. Since Vitlai has never come close to being out boxed or down by a punch, I do not think Haye has the tools to put together a game plan to win, unless Vitlai like many fighters at age 37+ suddenly becomes “ old “ on fight night. Juding by Vitlai’s last performance vs Sam Peter, he is still near pear performance levels.

While I do think Haye has shown enough to be considered a top ten heavyweight, I wish he would have more tested coming into this match.

 

It would have been nice to see Haye face another heavweight or two before facing Vitali or Wlad. Even with that I think Haye has a very good chance with Vitali. The biggest advantage in Haye's favor is Vitali's age and inactivity. The same problems facing Vitali when going up against Peter will be there with Haye - his age, injuries, and inactivity. A big difference between Peter and Haye is style. Peter was made to order for Vitali, he stands in front of you making it easier for Vitaly to do his thing. Haye has the speed and athleticism to make Vitali work and not let him get comfortable. I know Vitali ran right through Peter and it was an impressive win but I saw some real rust in Vitali. I thought he looked slower, less mobile, and a bit sloppier than he ever has. Even though the win was excellent I saw some real cracks in there its just that Peter was the wrong guy to take advantage of them.

If Haye can keep Vitali moving and continually beat him to the punch then I think we could see a Pacquiao-DLH scenario unfold. Not nearly the one-sided nature but in the way the gameplans play out. The smaller prime fighter being too quick, mobile, and fresh for the older, inactive, bigger guy. I'd prefer a Wlad-Haye showdown but if we get Vitali-Haye I see it as close to a 50/50 fight. No doubt, the Vitali that fought Lewis would run over Haye like a truck but I don't know if this version can still do it.

 

Watch every tape of Camacho after the Rosario fight and run for his life .......he honestly has a minimal chance,would have had a decent chance against china chin Wlad

 

I agree. Right now the thought is that Haye has a better chance with Wlad than Vital but I'd disagree. Vitali is older and not in his prime while Wlad is on a roll right now. I think Haye is a live dog with Vitali but only has that so called punchers chance with Wlad.

 

Wow, So Haye need to fight like Calzaghe, fight Vitlai in the center of the ring discourage Vitlai, out counter punch Vitlai, and fight at a faster pace for the distance?

The trouble is, Haye has never fought like Clazaghe.

Vitlai has never been discoruaged unless a major injury hit.

Vitlai is a good coutner puncher. I don't think anyone has out coutered him.

And Haye has suspect stamina. Haye can not fight at a fast pace for the distance.

I just can't see all those stars lining up for Haye.

One question I have is what type of creidt will the winner? If Vitlai wins as expected, then most will say Haye was hype. If Haye wins, most will say Vitlai was old.

 

There are rumors that Vitali has issues movement wise. As in, movement in the ring due to a long standing knee issue that hasn't particularly gotten any better with age.

Why he and his team were so for the Peter fight, they don't get any more immobile then Peter.

Haye is young, and capable of consistent movement.

 

LOL @ at this thread and particular Mickey Grain. You MUST be from the UK.............

Haye did not look impressive , disciplined, well conditioned for 12 or techniclly sound against a washed up never was, far, I mean far removed of even be a decent gate keeper. It was a very sloppy affair and it took him with his supposed "superpower" several CLEAN shots to get it over with and Empty Guns was still clearly concious.

While Peter's best days might be behind him he had a LOT more in the tank then Monte and VK dismantled him in impressive fashion. Nobody has ever beaten down Peter like that. No WK, Toney or McCline.

I said it before and say it again, the only intangible in this fight is if VK gets old overnite/injured, otherwise , no matter what fancy training or prep Haye musters up is going to help him to win this fight.

Peter already took care of Vk's ring rust, so that is not going to be a issue, as a matter of fact, I believe, unless his body betrays him, he will look considerable more fluid against Haye.

I see the big man eating the occassional big shot but staying behind the jab walking the mediocre chinned smaller fighter down somewhere mid fight time.
