    Vitali will fight Adamek, then possibly Valuev (if he really comes back) and then retire. I believe he'll be running for mayor of Kiev next year.

    I thought the same thing. VItali would counter with a right to the temple. Haye is so open to it, if Vitali can time him or counter over Haye's jab (Which is fast). Thought the same thing. Fortunately for him, Wlad doesn't take too many chances and plays it safe so he won't be countering too much. Unfortunately for Haye, he can't seem to lead well so he got jabbed to death most likely either way.

    lets hope Haye can pull it off and beat both klits, i hate them both and think they both need taking down a few pegs and need their ego's trimming. im not a huge fan of Haye but prefer him to the klits and obv he's english so he gets my vote.

    The hope invested in Haye by Kltischko haters is off the charts. Once Klitschko KO's Haye, they might as well stop watching heavyweight boxing for a while.

    It is stunning to watch, isn't it?

    As you said, the likely outcome for The Haters after Wlad probably beats Haye will be to dismiss the heavyweight division until the brothers retire or are beaten. We have already seen this strategy in effect for some time ("Oh, the heavyweights are so boring; all the USA talent is playing other sports," etc).

    But The Haters have allowed their guard down, their dismissal of the heavyweight division down, for Haye. Haye knows this, and he's going to profit handsomely from it.

    Still, I think it's going to be a long day for Hater Nation when Haye likely falls to one of the brothers. It will be interesting to see how Hater Nation handles that moment if and when it comes. Haye is all they realistically have left at this point.

    When Vitali dominated Peter, there was genuine anger amongst writers who had heavily invested emotionally in Peter as their Klitschko Hater Proxy. The scorn for Peter after that bout was extensive. If that was the case then, imagine how writers, and less-restrained fans, might react to a decisive Wlad KO of Haye?

    As one American football player said: Get your popcorn ready. :hat

    :lol:

    Who's your team, in hoops? I'm a LeBron fan myself. Heat still have issues, though. They need a more complete roster.

    The Sixers, but I don't have cable so I don't get to watch too many games.

    See, you bought the hype. All that nonsense that I just support white fighters (though I, myself, am not white) and white athletes. :rofl

    Nope, I'm a LeBron guy. Just like I'm a Tyson guy. Also a Klitschko guy and an Adamek guy. It's not about race or ethnicity for me, or not only about that, anyways.

    Dirk is a hell of a player, though.

    I like guys because of who and how they are as individuals.

    Mr. humble pie himself, David Haye, is going to trim the Klitschko's excessive ego? That's hilarious.

    Collins has those guys playing hard. I'm more concerned about the Heat playing them in the playoffs than I am concerned about Miami playing the Knicks. The Knicks don't play defense, that won't work in the playoffs.

    I didn't have cable for a long time, either. You're not missing much. :good
