Has there ever been a fight where the chins have been so overmatched by the power on show? I think we're heading for boxings first ever double KO.
Can you imagine the Klit-ites on here if that actually happened? "WALDO was ahead on the cards!" "WALDO was poisoned, Haye wasn't!"
Klitchko is a lot bigger than Haye. Some would say the fight is a foregone conclusion. I am not one of them. This is a risky fight even with the huge size advantage Klitchko holds. If jabbing and holding don't get it done for the frail champion he is in a world of trouble. There is no plan "B" for Wlad. Just panic and we have all seen that before.
no, but I can imagine all the Hayelords: "Haye's trunks were much more prettier than Wlad's" "and did you see his fabulous boxing boots" :gayfight
Yes he does. But that being said he overcomes his limitation which is a testament to his determination. Sam Peter has never knocked a good heavyweight off his feet except for Wlad. The first two knockdowns can almost be excused since they were caused by fouls. But that third one was pretty bad. If Haye manages to land a decent shot I fully expect Wlad to go down hard. I also believe Touch of Sleep would have knocked him out if they had not let Klitchko off the hook with that phoney stoppage. Wlad looked very off his game and shook up in that fight. I lost a lot of respect for him when he ran for the exit that night. He has however looked better since that very bad night.
Vlad was not knocked down three times in the fight with Peter. A punch behind the head, illegal, and a push, no punch.
FarmBoxer, SST said the same thing. I think Haye will go for it early; If Wlad sruves three rounds, Haye will get stopped. I just fear Wlad will panic as Haye's angles will cause him nightmares.
TOS would have stopped him? Are you crazy? It was mostly an off balance knockdown. Wlad had a little trouble figuring TOS out in the early rounds, a la Brock, but he was just getting into his groove when the fight got stopped. Given that TOS is kinda chinny, this would have been a guaranteed KO win for Wlad.
