i fancy the Vitali fight for Haye. if haye jsut concentrates, vitali is like a statue. problem is this fight is 50/50 whether it will happen.
Its winnable, no doubt about it. I'd have perferred his chances Vs Vlad. Klitchko was troubled slightly by Hides and Byrds speed. He was also wide open to the uppercut and over hand right Vs Lewis. If you stand off the Klitchsko brothers they will pick you apart- but if you take it to them they have already demonstrated a lack of infighting ability. Klitschko looked great against Danny Williams and Sam Peter but I feel Haye represents hsi biggest test since Lewis. I'll go into detail closer to the time but as the two-time undisputed number one picker on ESB I can put together the Strategy for Haye to beat Klitschko. Whether Haye has got the durability and discipline to pull it off is another matter.
Proves two things : Haye has mad guts , respect to him for taking this ! Wlad is a shite bag and (as I predicted if i do say so myself ) never wanted anything with Haye. This is a mega tough fight but I'm behind the Hayemaker all the way !
I said this yesterday within an hour of the story been andI still stand by it. The above is not my only reasoning- I'll go into depth later.
If (and its a fairly big if !) Haye manages to beat Vitali , I'd put 50 bucks on Wladimir retiring, rather than face him. Haye called Wladmimir out to his face , called him all the names under the sun and Wladmimir is fight who........................ Chris " the Burrito " Arreola. Ooooooh !
Haye got guts alright However dont go overboard with the guts part yet As he has yet to face Vitali in a ring And if the night comes and he shits his pants and freezes and gets knocked out in the 1st round.............he wont be looking so brave then Dont get me wrong............I'm not slagging Haye off here............I hope he gives Vitali a real good fight However he has never fought anyone as imposing as Vitali and you never know come the night how Haye is gonna deal with it all
I don't think that 37 is particularly old in HW terms, but the 4 years out of the ring could be the leveller. If Haye can set a fast enough pace then physically I think that the wheels could come off for Vit. Haye now has 6 months to work on a plan, and just hope that he can execute it to perfection in June. Haye certainly has a large set of danglers for taking this fight, but I do actually give him a chance.
Nothing to suggest this will happen though He took challenges early, he's took the hardest routes available throughout his career, there's actually far more reason to believe he will rise to the occasion
Yeah, unfortunately for Haye he has to fight Vitali. Big respect win or lose to Haye for 1: going out there and calling out Wlad and 2: not backing down when Vitali (most likely the pinnacle of the current HW division) picked up the gauntlet. I hope he can win, I really do and I'm not going to write him off just yet on the basis of docs win over Sam Peter but he's up against it here. If it goes ahead in the UK, I'll need to be making a trip for this one.
If your strategy is going to rely on Haye being durable to any degree you might want to re-think it...
I really want Haye to win and as said previosuly you can't right him off but I just can't get the Herbie Hide scenario out of my mind. I think it will be a sad repeat of this. I also agree that Haye knows he's on borrowed time in the division due to his size and punch resistance so why chance fighting two or three guys before, risk getting sparked and lose his big money making shot
Haye's speed didn't stop his from slow as a turtle Mormeck KD him. Haye has a lack of Inside fighting too, both Klit's lean back defensively using their height to their advantage when a fighter Is close though.
Haye has such ****ing big balls. He just couldn't settle for the easier brother who he could ko. He went after the bigger and tougher brother. You got to love it.
