    Alot of people say that when Wlad gets hit he panics and gets scared, etc, etc

    However this guy has had over 50 fights - many of them world title fights.

    He has come unstuck before - but overall he is a dominate force in the heavyweights.

    He has fought in US and Germany, etc - in big shows against big heavyweights.

    This however is also a real big test of David Hayes mettle.

    He was fighting in front of a few hundred people at york hall etc

    then he went over to France but it was not that big a crowd and he showed some bottle to spark Mormeck

    then he had the major show promotion of his career against Swansea's Enzo Maccarenelli

    However he was confident he would spark out Enzo and also it was in his hometown of London

    But now facing Wlad in Germany in front of 50,000 people is now a even bigger test of his nerve

    Who is most likely to be effrected...........Wlad or Haye?

    Wlad is more likely to be affected.

    Haye was incredibly confident fighting at the O2, and was pretty composed when he got knocked down by Mormeck - his biggest fight of his career so far.

    Wlad surely. They both have previous in the Sanders fight - Wlad panicked was trying to grab on for dear life and got sparked.

    Haye slips gets knocked down against Mormeck takes a Knee takes his time walks Mormeck round a bit gets in the fight. Against Barrent he was cought and hurt the ref called it a foul shot Haye took his time got back into the groove and we know the rest. Look at the Enzo fight Haye took for ever to get into the ring he was clearly loving being in the spot light and the pressue of the fight.

    Haye hasnt got a good chin but hes cool under fire

    I can't imagine Haye freezing under any circumstances...he's just to confident.

    I think Haye is a confident guy & the size of the venue & possibly partisan crowd will boost this confidence. He doesn't really panic when he gets clipped and seems to be able to gather himself well. The stoppage to Thompson was down to gassing.
    Wlad, on the other hand, seems to **** himself when a punch hits him in the face and he looks confused and all over the place.

    Haye is the more likely. But I don't believe either will. Despite it being the biggest fight of BOTH their careers.

    Wlad if he gets tagged by Haye. He shits himself and goes into his shell for a bit after he gets nailed.

    I'd be amazed if Haye, after all the work he put into getting this shot, bottles it

    More likely he'll grab the chance with both hands

    Wlad has more to lose and is a fearful fighter anyway

    Haye has been in deep **** several times and has never panicked. Wlad has.

    I would say that Haye wil freeze the first time he gets clocked by a Wlad right hand, but he'll probably be too busy lying dazed on the canvas to know whether or not he's shitting it.

    i generally agree that it will be wlad who will panic when hit.
    haye has shown a great composure when hit before ,and i'm sure he will have to once more against wlad.
    david seems to have sorted out his hell-for-leather-4 round-blowout tactics out by now,and looks primed and ready.
    let's have it!
    i don't think i have been more excited over a heavyweight bout since the lennox days!
