This fight is going to be more about aggresion than power , if Haye goes right at Wlad , big Waldo will back pedal like nobodies business and the fight is won right there. both know they can be dropped but Haye seems to care less. I do respect Wlads abilites as a boxer but who the **** wants a HW champ who fights like he's f**kin terrified the whole time ????
Brixton slugger Danny Williams is a friend and sparring partner for David Haye in the past. Williams is a believer in that Haye has fists like he is "hitting you with bricks" Williams says that Haye is the hardest puncher he has ever been hit by apart from Vitali Klishthko and Mike Tyson. And while Williams said Klitchko and Tyson are the hardest puncher - he rates Haye as not far off their power. So to answer the question. Wladmir the brother dosent hit as hard as Vitali - based on their pro records. But if you say for arguments sake that he does hit s hard as Vitali that means that Wladmir may punch harder than Haye - but Haye is not far off him in power. Lets remeber Haye is puncher harder now than at crusierweight There is no limit to his weight now- and he is punching harder than ever
I'd love to see Haye coming out wild for a KO from the start. It's actually his very best chance. I hope he understands he will lose if he stands off against Wlad.
"They can both be dropped but Haye seems to care less" - Superb. Dont be suprised if Haye gets dropped a few times then comes back to win in good fashion. Either way it's exciting coz they can both be dropped and prob both will be. Just depends what happens when they do. When Wlad goes down he doesn't like it one bit then bottles it. When Haye goes down he doesn't seem arsed coz he thinks he knocking 'em' out anyway Plus he's pretty ruthless when he has an opponent hurt yet Wlad still lokks scared to finish it. Good fight either way
David Haye has never been a pressure fighter, he has never shown voilent type pressure.. Like Evander Holyfield or Mike Tyson. David Haye is a slick counter puncher, with some pressure. He cannot stand off WK, because WK with just take over with his Jab. This fight is about what David Haye does, if he take's the fight to WK..it's on. But if he stand's off, and try's to Bernard Hopkins this cat. He is getting his ass knocked out..! I can't help but remember what Monte Barrett, did to David Haye. He was out for 40 + seconds, or aleast abit confused. With the finer things in life..
What was that? The free shot when David was practically lying on the canvas? This isn't MMA! ...and just for the record, 53 seconds after Barrett ground-pounded Haye, Barrett was on the floor for the 5th time.
Who hits harder is almost irrelevant. Power without the technique to back it up is not worth two buckets of warm spit. Both hit like a truck. The question is who has the better and more relevant punching technique.
