Haye will stop Valuev...body punches will be key.

I don't see Haye throwing too many body punches but I agree with your prediction. This will be similar to Mosley/Margarito.

 

Haye is going to slip the jab and set up shots to the body.

This man has a 10 inch reach, if that is Haye's plan then he wants be careful he does not end up reaching with his punches to the body, because if he does his night could end quickly.

Haye must get his feet there before letting the shots go, otherwise he will leave himself open.

Also Valuev's arms are so long he can catch you on the tail end of the punches as you are pulling out.

I think Haye will win but he does not want overestimate the reach and start falling in when he throws to the body.

 

I've never really seen Haye throw many body punches, he's more of a head hunter, but then he doesn't usually fight people 7ft tall!

 

He was just capitalizing on a weakness though. Mormeck has never had exceptional stamina, as proven in his championship fights, which is why it was a target for Haye. It worked but it was only as effective because, as I said, body punches and stamina are an issue for Mormeck. Why would he target Valuev's body? He has exceptional stamina, so it might slow him down a bit but he has more chance of securing a stoppage with head shots. Probably finishing combos off with a body punch, so he can get out of range but thats it.

 

Strike has an excellent record predicting fights, if anybody's betting I would suggest to consider his opinion.

 

Haye will probably lose. And, then we can all say good riddance to another piece of crap that's bad for boxing.

 

Talk about hating!
The guys been good for boxing, hes actally got most of the UK talking about boxing again, which never happened bar the hatton v mayweather fight!

 

Talking a bunch of smack and backing out of consecutive fights is IMO bad for boxing. If the UK is into that, well, that just tells us how worthless their opinions are.

 

I agree with the premise not sure about how much Haye will work the body although I think it is a good idea. I think the stoppage may be a bit later.

But after watching Ruiz vs Valuev I am sure Haye's speed difference will tell.

Haye in 10.

 

He backed out of one fight..through injury or not getting paid.
He has never ducked anyone!

Before you bring the vitali fight back at me...hes getting paid double fighting valuev than what hed get fighting vitali...A win gets him a belt and better negotiation for a future fight!

 

while I agree body punches will be affective.... if valuev gets ahold of Haye and leans that 300+ lbs on him time and time again, it will take a toll on Haye as well... IMO Haye needs to stick and move and I dont know if he can do that to the body without getting clinched and leaned on

 

I smell a Jack Dempsey-Jess Willard repeat. Haye doing a number on the big slow giant.

Hey Chef, how is Wlad doing? Shoulder okay? what's he up to lately, haven't heard much. cheers mate,
