************ The Official David Haye Heavyweight Champion of the World Thread********

My take, for what it's worth - Haye on points. Valuev has decent enough skills. He's got a decent jab and his size gives him obvious advantages. But Haye will work the angles. Get under and over Valuev's pawing jab (which does not return back to his face at even half the speed it is dispatched (which in turn is not that quick)). Watch for Haye making himself look small so that Valuev has to lean to reach him and Haye to then go in with uppercuts and hooks to the body.

Haye has turned himself into a bit of a counter puncher of late and the only risk for him is someone quick enough to catch him. Which Valuev isnt. There will be as many non-scoring punches thrown in this fight as there are scoring ones as Valuev is made to miss and Haye throws a lot of shots at the Russian's arms. But the big ones that count will come from Haye's gun.

If Haye catches anyone clean it's lights out. But I don’t seen him catching the big fella on the chin with a bomb. He'll catch the side of his head, body and arms. My only two concerns for Haye are that he may burn out late on. Or injury. If he does force Valuev into leaning and trys the uppercuts, there's a chance he catches the big fellas huge fod. Which will hurt Haye's hands as much as it will hurt Valuev. If he does that a few times his right hand will fall apart.

Still though, too much speed from Haye. He'll out manouvre the Russian all night. Keep him turning and catch him with numerous shots downstairs and on the arms as the Russian turns like the Titanic.

WAR HAYE!!

 

I'm having funny images of Haye catching Valuev with a big shot and valuev falling on haye and them both being counted out

 

whatever else anyone says about our dave, he's exciting, good sense of humour and always willing and ready for a tearup.
he's deffo got the skills but once again, it comes down to stamina.
i'm rooting for him big time but i hope he's got a tank full of gas in case the big man doesnt go.
adam booth pricked up his ears when an interviewer mentioned Dempsey - Willard so I think thats the way he's planning to play it.

**** it. I'm gunna stick my neck out and go for Haye in either of the first two rounds.
Infact Haye in the 1st is where my moneys goin. He's gunna shock the world and the Klit brothers will have no choice but to fight him. And Haye will unify:happy

 

haye on points

there is no way he is going to knock valuev out , valuev is just too big and strong plus his head is like an anvil

 

Well in Germany/Switzerland wherever the **** it is I see no way Haye gets the decision.

 

I think Haye wins and he wins inside the distance. Referee rescues Valuev around round 7 or 8...

 

I think the bet of Valuev in 10/11 or 12 at 25-1 is a blinder, i can see Haye punching himelf out!!!

Id say Haye in 4/5/6 or Valuev 10/11/12

if it goes the distance, Who knows???

But all along I have saud Haye, after the way Holyfield out boxed Val, but the closer to the fight the more im waivering!!

Sod It c'mon Haye!!!!!

 

Haye will **** it, lets just hope if it goes to the scorecards they judge it fairly....

 

...or 9 :deal

 

ive got a weird feeling on round 9 aswell

 

Anyone know what time the ppv will finish on sky? And what time they will be entering the ring?
