If Haye fights like he did against Barrett he will be starched inside the first 2 rounds. If he fights more sensibly and calmly he has a solid punchers chance.
No way Haye wins this on points, simply because Wlad can fight so ugly and controlled that he won't get near. But if he keeps Wlad missing, then waits for him to slow just a little, for the range of that jab just to slide - he can crack him.
Interesting one this. I still haven't decide on a winner between Wlad and Haye but I'm absolutely certain he would be knocked out by Vitali.
What a load of ***** ass lickers thinking Wlad is the second coming of Liston. the guy has a ***** jab. If you have not seen it then watch some of his fights. Haye has too much movement for Wlad to be able to use his ***** jab. He will not stand there like Thompson and the others absorbing he ***** jab.
Wlad has become overrated on the back of performances against some seriously mediocre opposition. Thompson, Ibragimov, Rahman (years toooooo late to mean anything). People see his height, his effectiveness, his opponents lack of determination and think he's something special. He can be beaten - probablt not on points, but a good fighter, with good movement and some heart can get to him. Vitali's the same - that performance against the always dreadful Peter flattered to deceive. Gomez was a mover but he was never a puncher - how could he have dented Vitali?
