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

You are having a laugh aren't you?? Wlad who couldnt get light punching blown up zero threat eddie chambers out of there until the last rounds!!! You think he is gonna go ape **** on a dangerous counter puncher like Haye and risk exposing his china?? are you kidding me?

Have you ever watched a Wlad fight? do you honestly think he will try to commit suicide? He will box at range, he will fight tall, and use the jab, trying to fire in occasional right hands. He will try to finish IF and WHEN he has his guy seriously beat down.

He is predictable but he is very effective.

 

Wlad landed very well on Chambers in the second round, that's when Eddie went totally defensive. Same with Chagaev. If Haye had taken those punches, it could have been the end. Wlad doesn't have the style to chase a much smaller fighter who is just trying to surive, but he does land his power shots when there is an opportunity.

 

holy **** haye a counter puncher???mid air swimmer more like

 

The fight will be over in 6 rounds. Haye isn't stupid enough, or durable to take 12 rounds of punishment....

 

Wlad really does want to punish Haye for the whole 12 rounds but Wlad will Accidentally knock Haye out early and he will be pissed off at Haye for going down and not getting up.

 

This. :yep

 

This is a good way for Wlad to explain a victory should it go to the cards. He fully expects to stop Haye IMO and willl use this as an excuse if he can't get Haye out of there. I think he might be worried about Haye getting an event win here and he's just covering the bases.

Wlad KO early IMO.

 

Wlad can do little about it. Haye has not been hit yet with the true heavyweight power. We do not know how will he react. He might crumble very fast.
Wlad will not let Haye stay on the outside and prepare the ambush. We will see very active Wlad from the beginning. He will probably come lighter then usual.

 

Wlad is going to come out with the jab, but he's going to be looking to end it whenever possible with his left hook.

Haye needs to be wary of Wlad's LEFT HOOK.

 

if wlad wants to win this fight he will have to fight. his jabbing and grabbing wont help, and he and his trainer must know that. haye is just to smart, to fast and to powerful to let wlad to play that safe jab/grab game.
wlad must go for the kill right from the opening bell or he is toasted..

 

You guys need to re-watch Valuev fight. Valuev(if he was not that big slow slob who he is) had plenty of opportunities to punish Haye. Haye has no chance.

 

Jab & grab for twelve rounds, it's the Wlad way.

 

You know what they say about "best laid plans."

Wlad can try all he wants to punish Haye for the full 12... Haye will not make it to round 9. :deal

 

You think Wlad's going to take risks with Haye?

He'll fight like the coward he is. Quivering behind a big jab, boring himself to a win.

 

Wlad would probably have to throw a few power shots to do that..........................

Seriously, Wlad will jab, hold, and bore.

Everyone knows it.

Haye will knock the guy out, if he gets an openig
