    Wlad doesnt look like the guy with a dynamic personality so to be honest he looks fairly calm to me like normal.

    haye is counting on one shot to beat wlad. He doesnt have an effective jab, he wont be working his way in. Wlad has a tight defense at this point. There wont be a lot of openings.

    IMO, I do see haye staying outside looking for very few available shots and basically on his bike staying out of range of the jab. Wlad, of course will not walk him down. He doesnt walk anyone down. Add in to the mix that Wlad is likely to be even more cautious due to haye's power and I think we have 2 fairly gunshy guys who wont be able to pull the trigger.

    I expect a very low punch output from both guys if it goes to decision. However, both guys are capable of knocking each other out at anytime with one shot so the fight has that going for it.

    Haye only has one option imo,and thats to run out at the first bell and try and land something on Wlads chin before he's ready,but i think he'll just try and survive,and hope he gets an opening later in the fight,so a stinkfest is a possiblity.
    Although everybody seems to think Hayes got under Wlads skin and that Wlad will try and KO him to teach him a lesson,i'm not so sure.The klits strike me as being calm intellectuals,Haye on the other hand sounds like an idiot trying to make the fight more interesting by talking trash.
    The Klits could obviously have made a living outside of boxing by using there brians,could Mr Haye have done the same ????

    The disrespect towards Haye here on ESB is silly. I don't like him even one bit, but he is a killer and he proves it over and over again.

    He had to be careful against Valuev. You stand in the pocket with him then you lose. As simple as that.

    Team Wlad don't want a UD. They want Haye out cold, and they will have a gameplan for it. My guess is that it will include combinations with hooks.

    I'm not expecting a great fight to be honest.

    I think Wlad will be extremely weary of Haye's explosiveness and be ultra-cautious for the first half of the fight, while Haye will bide his time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to land a big shot on Wlad.

    Standoffish encounter for the most part IMO.

    Wlad may well jab Haye's head off for the entire 12 rounds, but if Haye times that jab early it will be lights out for Wlad, make no mistake. And WTF is up with people comparing Holyfield and Chagaev to Haye? Do you know anything at all about differing boxing styles beyond your man-love for all things Klitschko? Haye is a COUNTER-PUNCHER for ****'s sake, he's never going to go toe-to-toe against far inferior opponents, let alone against a murderous puncher like Wlad.

    Either way, it will be a boring fight with some potential for a brutal KO by either fighter.

    Whether you view it has a boring fight or not. Has a boxing fan you got to be excited about it. Years in the making, genuine animosity, 50,000 crowd. What's not to get excited about.

    This fight is going to have a lot of drama. it seems very personal to the fans of each fighter. I can't wait. Ill watch a boring fight until one lands a bomb.

    Both will be cagey for the first 6 but I expect the second half to contain alot of bombs

    Haye will try to fight Wlad the way he fought Valuev, but Wlad will be landing a hell of a lot more than Valuev did, which will force Haye to change it up a bit. Wlad will be the same he always is. In other words, boring fight.
