Vitali vs Haye?

Similar to Vitali-Herbie Hide.

If Vitali knows an opponent has a weak chin, he goes for the kill early.

My prediction

Klitschko TKO2 Haye in a Hagler-Hearns like brawl.

 

That's hopeful thinking. Wlad might not be the sturdiest HW ever, but he is always a danger to anyone. And while Vitali remains somewhat an unknown due to his injury-prone body, he is as durable and imposing as they come when he's healthy.

Haye looked impressie against Barret. But so have a number of other fighters, including Valuev and Wlad.

That said, as one who picked Barrett in this fight, I give huge respect to Haye for his balls and skills. He proved me wrong. Haye is a HW. But he has too many flaws to stand up against the athletic russian giants.

I'd love to see him work his way up with a series of building fights. He doesn't need confidence builders, but judging from some tense moments in the Barrett fight, he still needs to learn how to handle the pressure and power he now faces with the big men.

Hats off to Haye. But please, don't get ahead of yourself!

 

I do not see Haye lasting 4 rounds.

 

Its not vitali's style to blast people out. He usually ****s around with them for a while.

But as Hayes chin is weaker than others, I would say probably a mid round stoppage. Lets say round 6.

 

The best chance Haye has against Vitali is hoping he doesn't make it through training camp. Coming from a big David Haye fan.

I think the best Haye could hope for is to use his speed and skills, stay on the outside and box Vitali, this could be succesful for a while, and he would probably stun his a few times as well...

However he just seems a little to open, a little to leaky. He would get walked down eventually, probably lose to a mid rounds TKO. Though he could well be ahead on points when it happens.

 

No more than 6 or 7

 

Hayes style based on huge punches rather than on high pace domination wont work vs Vitali if you ask me. The size difference is always so important, that i dont see Haye with 215 lbs. really troubling Klitschko. Further Klitwschko is an excellent Counterpuncher leaning back when you punch to counter you off balance. And David is quite often off balance.....

 

Lol at you all comparing Herbie Hide to Haye :rofl:rofl:rofl it's like comparing Amir Khan To Pac-man.

 

Hide had very good handspeed, a decent punch, top physics much better footwork and a ****ed up chin.

Reminds me somehow.

Vitali Haye will be a chincheck-contest. And Klitschkos chin is proven and passed the test. Haye didn´t past the test....

 

Like **** did he, he hadn't half the power and speed of Haye.

Herbie Hide was an amateurish euro well protected hype job.

Haye has been fighting top quality opponents since day one not tomato cans fed to him.

 

I hope this one gets made Vitaly would bust his hole..

 

atsch if you say "rubbish" we knows you's an english rotter - blimey you're cought red 'anded!

the russians are finished


i do like Haye though - but he ain't beating Vitali quite yet bruv.

 

Hate when ppl assume its a foregone conclusion; this is boxing, do you realise that??

Of course Vitali will be heavy heavy favourite and i would have to back him in a fight with Haye. But if you cannot see that Haye has a chance to win this fight then you don't know boxing. Esp HW boxing where one punch is all that is normally needed.

I would say Vit late TKO/KO but conversly i wouldn't be suprised if Vit got knocked out either.

PS. You sound like a true hater......damn hate nuthuggers and haters.
