Haye TKO Rds 6-9. Possibly earlier depending on how the giant reacts to the hayemakers bombs. I can even see the corner pulling him out after taking too much damage. Valuev is unaturally large and big men age very quickly in their 30's. I don't think he was unmotivated against Holy. His condition and age has caught up with him. Haye may try to take him out in the 1st but more likely he'll be trying out the power. Expect to see lots of vicious body punching and uppercuts. Don't be suprised if Haye gets hit and nothing happens.
I think Haye himself made sure that Valuev will be pumped up for this fight will all the **** talking he did. I think Hayes mouth woke the giant and that might back fire
Haye by TKO. Too fast. He will be able to launch over the shoulder right hands and still be too quick for Valuev. I don't care that Valuev has a good chin, it isn't Oliver McCalls and Haye will landing FLUSH shots on his chin. Haye is underrated as a body puncher too, when Valuev lifts a guard up, he will get ripped into the body. I don't see the big man lying on his back, but I do see him on the ropes getting a pasting in the mid rounds and the ref stepping in. Of course if Valuev lands anything of any note then he knocks Haye out, as David has a **** chin.
Haye by late TKO or points Deciding factor will be Hayes speed and Valuev's lack of it. I don't think Haye will knock Valuev out with a single shot but it's important for Haye that he's got enough power to keep Valuev off him and that he can pace himself and keep moving for the 12 rounds if need be. I don't expect a lot to happen in the first three rounds, I think Haye will be trying to find his rythme and stay out of range and Valuev will be plodding around the centre of the ring throwing jabs and trying to corner Haye. Could be funny if either fighter gets KO'd. Nothing against Valuev but it could look comical if someone that big gets knocked over or even staggers around the ring. I'm sure people will laugh if Haye gets sparked too after all his **** talking, especially as Valuev isn't really a big puncher.
