How many believe Wlad has the intention of punishing Haye for 12 long rounds?

Wladimir would like to prolong the fight if possible to give Haye career ending/ lifelong injuries.

The thing is that with Haye's punch resistance record, it is not unfathomable that he could get knocked out early with a jab.

 

wlad will jab his face off until haye can no longer take it in a terrible snoozer and yet another black eye for heavyweight boxing on american TV it'll be another 10 years before they venture into the heavyweight division after this debacle coupled with the embarassingly boring Ibragimov unification.

 

It's the talk, but it won't be the reality.

If he's really that dominant over Haye, I see Haye sitting down on his stool and refusing to come out. If Haye is competitive and gives Wladimir some early troubles, then Wladimir won't just mince his punches and try to keep Haye standing all 12 - in which case he knocks him out earlier.

 

I don't believe it at all. It would be silly for Wlad to announce a true game plan anyways. I think that Wlad will be Wlad... he will dominate Haye and take him out whenever the opportunity presents itself.

 

Wlad isnt capable of doing that against Haye so it's irrelvant anyway, Haye is the better fighter and will win before the 12th.

 

I'll never believe the fight will take place till Haye's actually in the ring but I doubt Wlad will punish Haye for 12 rounds before taking him out, his brother might do that Chavez way back when would do that Wlad's not that kind of fighter and will probably knock him out when the opportunity presents itself ...I've never seen Wlad force the KO and I doubt he will start now. ...I am somewhat interested if Wlad will be aggressive and try to blow Haye out early make a statement he doesn't belong in the same ring as him or something of the sort.

 

Wlad will KO Haye in round 7. Big Payday, Big Audience, look for a statement.

 

all the talk about "pizza face" and "12 round beating" is just hype.. Wlad will look to get Haye out of there ASAP...

 

if wlad gets an op to take him out early he will no way he will take it longer incase he gets caught and either will manny..haye is a real live wire so u cant do wat wlad says..im puttin my cash on a 3rd round ko....as some1 has stated i to think manny is only in wlads corner in person not in mind i really think he dosnt care if haye wins he does nothing but blow smoke up the guys arse just like most ppl just because hes suposidly exciting with a personality...

 

No wlad will not prolong the fight, every second is a potential risk. The best revenge / humiliation is a 1st round ko..

 

No - it's just pre fight talk.

He's a very disciplined fighter and he'll stick to his game plan.

 

He couldnt finish the fight early if he wanted to,its just not in him to look for or push for a knockout.

I believe Haye will win,and win big,early.

I think both haye and wlad dont have the best chins,but both do have the ways to make themselves less bad,by great conditioning and tactically protecting themselves.

he will try for the first few rounds just to use dirty tactics to slow haye down and to take his speed/energy from him.

But it wont work,this is a prime focused haye,not an opponent lewis had when trained by steward,haye is not a distracted not trained tyson.

Wlad might feel comfortable enough to try a left hook or two,to try maybe uppercut also.But he isnt a fighter who tries new things out in fights,especially vs dangerous opponents like Haye.

Freddie Roach said sumit bout wlad,he was talkin in a instructional video on how to counter left hook to the body,and said he tried to teach it to wlad,but wlad didnt want to do it,didnt want to risk that move as it involved getting hit and having to roll and counter punches.

TBH,im not really sure wlad can or does ever counter punches?.And can he fight going backwards?,or being turned on,not being able to go straight forward and sit down on shots while pushing opponents back?.

 

Its more likely Klitschko fighting a 12 round strategy then Haye retiring this year.

 

I don't take Wlad's "12th round KO" stuff at all seriously. It won't happen. If it looks like he's doing that, Haye will quit before the 12th.

Most likely Wlad's power and skills will get Haye out of there within 7 or 8 rounds.

 

Inside 6 for Wlad. He will be looking for an early KO.
