Haye is more like Brewster, Sanders than Wlad is like Thompson, Fragomeni or Mormeck

I still think Haye's explosiveness, athleticism and the angles he creates are unlike anything Wlad has faced and Haye will be committing to much quicker and heavier shots than Wlad has probably ever faced. Wlad has been made to look much better than he really is by the woeful competition he's faced. It's pretty easy for a competent 6'7" boxer to keep an uninterested and overweight journeyman at bay until he tires and then bang him out but that isn't Haye. Clearly it could be that Wlad does simply dominate Haye but I can't see Haye alllowing that and if it comes to it he will go all out and go for broke. That's what makes this interesting. Haye is much more hungry than any of Wlad's previous opponents and he has the power and skill set to do something special with that hunger

 

She is not with Wlad anymore.

Expect him to be even more angry come fight time :yep

 

Wlad is not concerned about Hayes dirty tactics in the fight

the only low blows Wlad has got his mind on that night

is Hayleys blow job :blurp

 

That is the good thing about this fight, it is what the division was really crying out for. You've got a fight where Wlad's opponent, for once, is either going to knock him out or die trying. He's not going to Ibragimov his way to a points loss if he realises things are tough.

It's always possible Haye can knock a guy out, that happens when you've got handspeed and power, its a devastating combination.

I simply have to lean towards Wlad on the sheer odds of it, all things considered. Wlad has most of the crucial factors in his favour. Wlad is the one that has been fighting heavyweights, Haye is the one stepping up. Wlad is the one with major physical advantages that give him the best opportunity to land a shot, Haye is the one that has to improvise to see past Wlad's jab. Wlad is the one that keeps a tight defence and holds in close, Haye is the one that keeps his hands 'relaxed'.

However its the confidence of Haye in and out of the ring, his speed, his power that makes it compelling compared to recent heavyweight fights.

 

Lets remeber experience as well

Wlad is a 55 fight or something like that - veteran - a experienced world champion

As Trotter made a good point last time when Haye fought Monte Barret in his last fight Haye still seemed a green fighter -
He may not have the experience of such a massive fight to pull this off

 

Maccarenelli wasnt experienced enough to beat Haye

Maccarenelli didnt even have the exeprience to take a knee in the corner and recover

Instead he got up and on very shaky legs walked to the centre of the ring and told the ref

"Double Whopper and Cheese and Fries and Large Coke please - to takeaway"

His head was scrambled

He didnt have the experience and tried to make out to the ref he wasnt hurt instead

Inexperience

If WLAD gets hurt he will have the experience to bide his time to recover

 

Can't argue with that. As much as I want Haye to win and think it is quite feasible that he could, I do have a real niggling doubt and can quite easily see Wlad taking him out. I must say though there are very few genuine heavyweights in operation at present. Most would make CW if they trained like professional athletes. Included in this group are those that have beaten Wlad. I don't know maybe I'm just looking for any angle to see that Haye has an advantage but the truth is in reality as you say all the advantages rest with Wlad. I think I'll be leaving my betting fund well alone on this one!

 

I won't be going big on this one.

I'll likely have a small bet on Wlad. 1. Because I think he will probably win. 2. If he does win, it will ease the pain of having to listen to the Klitschko huggers who are some of the worst, most sensitive and pathetic fans to grace this forum.

If I lose my small bet I don't care, I'm happy Haye wins.

 

It's actually Hayden and it would be more effective if she promoised to ride Haye if Wlad losse.
