that bad? i do see vitali winning but i am surprised that so many people are expecting vitali to hammer haye simply because of his performance against peter. i think that if haye had a decent chin he would win this fighh, as it stands i see him knocked out in under 6
< 25% at the moment. But I certainly don't feel the utter doom some are predicting for him. There seems to be a huge amount of presumption going on with Vitali, which is understandable but leaves an element of doubt.
Haye's only chance for me is to come out like an absolute madman swinging, knowing that one of them will be getting KTFO within 5. This will more than likely be Haye, but it's all part of the plan. He'll knock Wlad out at some point, then maybe be ready for a re-match.
Impossible to tell really. If Haye proves himself durable enough to survive some very choppy waters he can do it. 70-30 Vitali for me. I've ALWAYS doubted whether Haye is truly big enough for the heavies and it's still an unanswered question in my opinion.
30% chance of winning.The mirror has a section in the sports today with adam booth. Apparently they all went out for a meal after the fight and haye passed a magazine of haye on the front cover holding wlads head in his hands. Vitali completely lost it,grabbed haye by the scruff and had serious words.I know its tabloids but i believe this.Vitalis starting to throw his weight round a bit to unsettle haye.He punched him lightly on the arm commentating the wlad rachman fight.Little signs of bullying.That would have been a studio brawl with a lot of heavys out there imo
thats whats worrying me, remember the lennox uppercut etc? if that didnt phase vitali then nothing haye can do will
Your joking right ? The uppercut from hell had him on ***** street and holding on for dear life. Also Lewis almost had Vitali out in the 6th with that short punch near the ropes. Having the fight stopped on cuts was the WORST thing that could have happened to Lennox because he was starting to take over and dominate the fight, he even says himself he feels he would have had the ko in the next couple of rounds which I believe also ! Had Lewis landed on Vitali with the 1-2 he knocked Rahman over with it would have been lights out.
Hide Round 1 will be repeated over for 12 against Vitali. Even the disgrace known as Sanders had limited success just from being fast and punching hard. Look for Haye to fight low and move his head alot. He'll be coming in from all different angles with lightening speed and debilitating power. Haye can win because he is the smaller man, that includes speed, stamina, co-ordination, reflexes etc Vitalis problem is he is ****ing tough and has dirty power. This means like against Hide he could lose a round because he is in the inferior boxer BUT he can impose himself and score the ko. Haye can win simply based on having an impeccable defence and being calm enough to execute his game plan over 12. This fight should have been made after Haye fights someone 6'5 roughly. Truth be told, I have seen Haye sparring with guys who are about 6'5/6'6 and he seemed to have little issue.
