    If Haye even consider's turning southpaw then that Klitschko right hand will put Haye to sleep even quicker than it's already going too. Plus Haye can not throw that left to save his life. As for Mr. Adam "If I was chocolate i would eat myself" Booth, that idiot will just say "David, focus David, sting and get outta there" hahahaha. Master tactioner my arse. Listen to that gobshite's instructions when Haye fought Ruiz and when Groves fought Anderson.

    No chance! It's just a wind up. He and Booth wantto keep Wlad guessing. When in reality, I think he comes out all guns blazing in this 1.

    There's another video out there where it zooms into Wlads team during the Haye/ Booth workout.
    If looks could kill:lol:

    I highly doubt he would fight southpaw, he would be very open for the straight right, and given that Wlad's straight right has to be one of the most powerful punches in the entire boxing world I don't think Haye would risk it given that his chin isn't exactly granite. If he ate even just one straight from Wlad, when he's not fully prepared for the impact, it could spell disaster.

    I think Haye will fight orthodox, mostly cautiously, lots of circling and upper body movement, and looking for the big counter when Wlad jabs. I think he'll attempt to turn the counters into combinations once in close, and will try to slip under and out of the inevitable clinch attempt from Wlad. Repeat until either:
    • Haye gets through with a good shot over the jab and/or hook round the guard as Wlad pulls straight back
    • Haye tires and Wlad systematically breaks him down and gets the stoppage over an exhausted Haye by ~round 8-9.
    • if Haye's counters are good enough to make Wlad reticent to throw, then the pace of the fight might drop enough that Haye could squeeze out a narrow points win. I'm not so convinced about that one though

    HAye hasn't enough fatman strength to beat Wlad.

    ****ing easy fight for Wlad, don't believe the hype.

    If Barrett and Valuev can touch Haye then Wlad kills khim.

    Its unlikely he will fight southpaw, it could be suicide

    However the same would have been said about Ali heading for the ropes against Foreman

    Spot on mate. I don't think he'll switch for one second during the fight.
