How do you Haye fans expect Haye to fight Klitschko?

Staying away in the first round.

Then in second round he will time Wlad and counter with a vicious Hayemaker. Wlad will be stumbling and Haye finishes him off.

 

I fully expect Haye to have the same approach he had vs SNV..run n potshot. Try n lunge in with a couple of bombs. He has mentioned having a Tyson like approach..well, lets see...but I cant see it. If he does adopt the same approach vs SNV I only hope he's more aggressive and throws more punches. I thought he was lucky to get the nod vs SNV and nobody would argue the Klits (either of 'em) are on another level to SNV. I wanna see a real aggressive Haye and see him fight like he's talked..but somehow I'm expecting him to be too scared to do it. The first couple of rounds will set the pattern n show Hayes gameplan. Fingers crossed i'm wrong and he is all guns blazing.

 

Haye needs to get past that jab. Whether he times it (that will be difficult), or just charges Wlad...he will not beat Wlad if he is being peppered with the jab, in turn stopping his offense. We will most likely see Haye on the outside, doing a lot of feinting...his reflexes need to be spot on. I expect him to explode on Wlad a couple of times, whether he is successful, we will see. I would say he has the power to have Wlad in trouble if he lands.

 

It is such a monumental jump in class from Audley Harrison to Wladimir Klitschko.

Haye's only chance is to bum rush Wladimir from the opening bell, and look to land the big punch first.

If Haye waits and starts getting hit with Wlad's jab...........his chances start diminishing quite rapidly because even a jab from Wlad is going to hurt and unsettle Haye,

 

:hi:

 

Haye bet on himself to knock Audley out in the round he said he would, thats the only reason he was apprehensive!!

And Valuev was the biggest heavyweight champion in boxing history!! Anyone who knocks haye for not running into a giant with a huge reach advantage all guns blazing is plain stupid!!

Vlad will b unlike either bout!!

 

I'm not sure you can use the Harrison fight as a data point in that argument. There were clearly gambling-related things going on in that fight. As soon as Haye was clear to let loose (3rd round), he did.

 

I'm a Haye fan and nobody can deny that was a very scared performance! Holyfield...yes OLD Holyfield fought a much better fight - threw more punches and fought far more braver. Hayes excuse for his little activity was his so called broken right hand...well in this next fight we'll see if that was the case or not!!!

 

Haye was fighting to become the World Heavyweight Champion!! he knew Valuev was slow and blundering and that if he hit and moved he would win with virtually no risk!!

its called a well executed gameplan!!

he's apparently so scared at heavyweight but last time i checked also undefeated....

 

Your foul-mouthed theories would have more weight if the word wasn't out ahead of time. I was watching the odds on that fight and the odds on the Haye win in Round 3 plummetted in the 24 hours before the fight, completely out of proportion with the other rounds. I remember thinking -- just from watching the odds graph -- that "Hmmm, the fix must be in", then found several forum posts and twitter feeds that Haye's family had been betting heavily on the third. This was all before the fight had happened.

The fact is, Audley was such a lame-duck opponent that the first two rounds looked **** because there wasn't much action to hide the fact that Haye was having to stall.

When seen in that context, the fight isn't a surprise.
