All true. :good That devastating left hook Wlad has is perfect for ending this fight or changing it at the very least. Haye's style plays right into it.
problem is that Haye will have a hard time taking any punches. His right can stop Vlad, but what if he has to take those big punches?
Haye is in this for one fight. He will make enough money to retire. Vlad will knock Haye out, this is a complete mismatch. Vlad is quicker than Haye also.
Yeah, this fight is a complete mismatch. Who the hell has Haye ever beaten at HW, Monte Barrett?? Puh-leez. Glass-jawed Haye will be gone before the 5th
Yeah, this is really a true mismatch. I can't wait for this fight, won't last that long, unless Vlad wants it to.
If Wlad is thinking the same as his fanatics, It will be indeed a mismatch, as then he will lay on the floor early. I think it´s almost a 50/50 match up. Wlad is doing great as long as he can control the fight with his jab and keep his opponent at bay. I think there are two fighter-types that still pose a danger for him. The first one are Brewster-Peter type of fighters. They do not rely on speed, but they create steady pressure on Wlad and they are able to take a lot of punishment. Once Wlad is in the right range they have to get the job done. Brewster did it, Peter could´ve done with a bit more experience. The other type of fighter are those who rely on the combination of speed and power. Sanders is the perfect example. His handspeed was too much for Wlad. He did´nt see Corries punches coming. Haye is this type of fighter. He has speed and power and most important - he does unpredictable things. He´s a bit like Naseem Hamed and punches from all angles. As Wlad is not an instinct-boxer, i feel that this style will give him trouble, but then again, like Wlad Haye can´t take a lot of punishment. It depends on who can connect first.
Exactly. Wlad will control the pace & distance with the jab. Then he'll hurt Haye with a hook off the jab & finish Haye with a huge straight right hand. I'd expect it to go 5 rounds or less.....................
aint done bad in 24 fights has he if hes so ****? Keep talking you'll look like a ****ing tool if wlad gets ko'd
For such a big man, Wlad indeed has very good footwork. And i agree, his footwork is better than Haye´s. Haye is very effective with jumping on his opponents though. He is very fast in getting into the needed range for his punches. At cruiser Haye has already faced taller opponents (Macca and Gurov) and he was very effective against them. Probably an experience that will give him a lot of confidence versus Wlad. Wlad is better than both, i know, but i still think this kind of speed and awkward style is something Wlad will not like.
