Wladimir was technically knocked down by TOS but anyone who watched the fight knows Wlad was merely off balance. It's still a KD any way you slice it.
Lets not forgot about hand speed and Haye has some very fast hands. It might play a factor in the fight.
That's great news and a much needed fight. I don't think Haye has much of a chance, but the man has guts and a desire to prove himself (that can make him dangerous). The best way to "Be the Man" is to "Beat the Man".
Listen to the interview posted right here in this thread. He's an arrogant ***** that I'd like to see beaten the **** up. I mean leg twitching & mumbling with drool hanging out of his mouth. Nice job Haye, I want to see your ass kicked the **** in.
agreed. but to beat the man you need to earn your shot at him. theres nothing today on fightnews so i'm not about to take this as gospel
This is very good news if it's true. Murder or not, the HW division has been in dire need of hype and excitement.
Barrett did get him I agree with that. But Barrett is much shorter and capable of catching Haye on the inside which if I recall correctly is exactly what happened. Vitali is again much bigger and ok when he has a target in front of him. Haye will not stand in front of him though. He will circle and slip punches and eventually find the headshots. His speed will catch Vitali somewhat by surprise I think as even Chris Byrd, who was kinda like Haye but without the power, managed to stun Vitali a couple of times. I don't see a Haye ko but I can see him out manuvering the big man and landing blazing fast counters while making him miss. The trick for Haye is to limit the pace. One hard fast counter at a time. Make the big man step in, make him lead and make him pay. Unlike Sam Peter, Haye will not be out of position to counter.
Shut the **** up you complete knob Are you to ******ed to know its what he does to sell fights and to get noticed which is how he's pulled this fight off? Nearly everyone knows hes a nice bloke when not selling a fight or promoting himself, your just too simple to realise this. Big respect to Haye for going after the main man, just hope he gets a bit more respect now but i dont hold my breath with tools like you about.
Wow, Haye blasts Wladimir for being a ducker! He says Wladimir hid behind his brother for Sanders and Peter.. and now he wants Vitali to get rid of him aswell. :scaredas: Wlad has to stand up for this abuse and knock him out.
