Close fight. Vitali can win. If Haye beats him, then Wlad can avenge Vitali and it would enhance his legacy a lot.
Haye won't be able to knock him out, and his workrate is atrocious. Even a 50 year old Vitali wins against Haye. Also, it's "too old" not "to old".
It won't happen as Vitali will soon be in the Ukraine Parliament. However Haye would not be able to beat Vitali, yes Haye is fast, but against Vitali a competent boxer who is taller and weighs 35 pounds more he would not win.
Exactly. Vitali will pressure Haye and land his shots. David would be on his back or wont want to fight anymore by the 8th or 9th
Unless you are Willie Pep, you have to actually punch your opponent occasionally to win a fight, something Haye has real issues with, Haye would run all fight and survive to talk up another pay day again, how gullible are we.
Vitali may lose. He has lost the ability to re-adjust his feet quickly, which gives Haye a huge advantage, one that he never had with Wlad.
He's no spring chicken but once he gets off, well, Tomasz didn't fight or did he? Arreola was cryin? Briggs took one of the most massive beatings ever to travel to the Hospital next. I feel Vitali commits more to the punch itself than the more athletic and loose Wladimir.
Will wait to after the weekend to decide. Will say one thing though, if he does deteriorate then Haye is the one to exploit it. So much of his game is dictated by his reflexes. They'll be first to go.
