I will have to see Haye into a ring with Vitali or Vlad before I will believe him. He broke two contracts with Klitschkos before, so his word means nothing. Vitali or Vlad by knockout. It will be a mismatch.
Wladimir will stop Haye about rounds 7-10 All Haye has is a puncher's chance. Judging by his display's against Barrett, Valuev and Ruiz, if he keep's his hands that low it'll end even sooner. Ruiz was catching Haye with allsort's of punches, he can't do that with either Klitschko. Wladimir will do what he normally does, use his jab and physical advantages to establish control of the fight, bring the fight to his pace and slowly pick Haye off
The idea that Haye can just get on his bike and frustrate Wlad is bull****. Wlad isn't Valuev who will follow him around the ring for 12 like its just a bit of fun. Wlad has experience fighting Ibragimov who, while not quite as fast as Haye, was a southpaw, had a good chin and was generally more elusive than Haye has shown himself to be. If its a cagey fight and Haye's chin stands up to a few right hands then Wlad will win a very easy UD Any other scenario involves Wlad knocking Haye the **** out. There's a very, very small chance Haye could pull it off though. If Wlad goes into the fight arrogantly and doesn't respect Haye's speed and power he could be in trouble. I can't see this one happening, so I think Haye's chances are down to a freak right hand coming out of nowhere and stopping Wlad in one go. Even then, Wlad could get up, survive the round and go on to win the fight. He did it against Sam Peter
i reckon haye will have worked vlad out within three rounds, gets his timing right and goes for it, i just hope this fight is not in germany as i dont wanna see any dodgy refereeing, if all goes to plan haye should have vlad on the old jelly legs between rounds 5-7 and its all over. lets see what old man vitali has to offer as that man has a chin.
Wrong on both counts dip****. Haye has a slight lead and the thread is in the 'Brit' forum not English!!! Many(not all) jocks, taffs and paddies on here who, like all you septic tanks, are biased against anything 'English' :good
Of course he can flip it both ways, what you're saying makes no sense ''TRY to fight with a similar style'' ''thousand times shitter'' Its defo new territory for both, I think Wlad will win but its also a fight that could bring out the very best in David Haye.
Slightly more picking Haye! :shock: Baffling. Wlad is going into this as the clear favourite and I'm definitely gonna be putting a few quid on a Wlad stoppage.
Come fight time, after all skys hype, im envisaging quite a juicy ko price. However, in the valuev fight, the price went the other way, so a better, later price is not always guaranteed when betting on a British fighter (AA against Froch is another example but not really relevant as he's not a mainstream fighter)
At the moment i think Wlad stops Haye late after a few awkward moments, i will properly decide just before the fight (if it happens). Its 70/30 in Wlads favour for me at the moment.
I think that of course Klitschko will take Haye seriously and even more so for Haye on wlad. It is obviously the biggest fight in eithers career to date so both will have a gameplan.I do think that Haye has the ability and skill to adapt to a wider range of tactics then Wlad does. I am not saying that Wlad is one dimensional ,as quite clearly anyone who dominates for this long surely has many strings to their bow.Many of wlads opponents have given too much respect to him,and have come up short through ill preparation or just inability to counter his style. I think that Booth and Haye are under no illusions and will prepare well and hold the other champs in high regard (although would never show it).Hayes ability to negate Wlads jab and nullify his style will come through movement and footwork.He is extremely mobile for a heavyweight and Wlad will find himself hitting some air after 4 or 5 rounds. Both have good ring intelligence ,Klitschko slightly more so through experience.The question is when Haye does land a solid overhand shot,and he will ,,then how does Klitschko cope with it?.does he suck it up and reset himself?,in my opinion he will be getting hit again whilst he is trying to do so. This will be Hayes chance to jump on him and finish him in rnds 6-8. as for "haye was scared of Audleys jab,how will he cope with wlads?"---surely it was obvious he was tempting mistakes from Audley when he did try and throw it?-purely tactics---he would be a mad-man to stand and wait for Wlads jab??
It will be an awful awful fight. Both guys pertified of the other's power. Haye-Valuev and Wlad/Ibragimov rolled into one.
I cant look past Hayes speed in this one, they both have similar power and similar boxing skills if haye not edging that one slightly and they are both extremely intelligent in the ring. Wlads constant jabbing works against lower class fighters but even if it does work against David he is a very smart fighter and he will figure a way around that so i cant see him being pinned down for anymore than 3 or 4 rounds can Wlad finish it in that time? absolutely. Will he? is another question and i think if he doesnt Haye's fantastic conditioning and ability to beat wlad to the punch will win him the fight either with a late stoppage or points victory
haye has a punchers chance. most the time a punchers chance is no where near good enough to beat a boxer, especially one who is so much better technically than haye. i dont think haye has the prowess to slip inside a jab and counter, he normally pulls away from the jab and throws a right over the jab. you cant beat wlad like that because wlad is too tall. wlad by brutal ko in 10, unless haye lands a lucky punch in the first couple of rounds.
