Will it be a wrestling match on Saturday

The fact he has never been dropped is relative. If he had Vlad or Vitalis list of opponents would he still have that statistic? I doubt it.

Haye will be too fast, too skillful and too powerful. Valuev is effectively being cashed out.

 

I hope so too, and regardless of what i say i'll still be ****ing nervous come sat night!

 

I guarentee this will be "boring" but Haye will win so its all good.

 

i've been nervous the last few times haye has fought. especially the mormeck and barrett fights

 

I highly Doubt it will be wrestling match and if it is...Haye is gonna get beaten up. He has to maintain mid to long distance and use lateral movement and use explosive bursts of 3-4 punches (head/body) when Valuev isn't set and roll off at angle and go back to moving.

 

This. I also think working on southpaw was a nice idea, Haye will have the time to experiment with that against a fighter like Valuev.

The only problem with the gameplan is if he doesn't hurt Valuev or break him down as expected. It's a lot of movement and heavy punches needed and a lot of energy expended. Haye might be used to moving a fair bit but he's not used to his opponent being stronger and unaffected.

 

If it is a wrestling match Haye won't stand a chance, but I'm sure Haye will be too fast on his feet and dance around the beast creating angles.

 

I agree totally that is my worry and the thing that makes me uneasy. Thing i think people have to look at about Valuev is when Holyfield attacked him he would jump back at times and looked uneasy under attack...hopefully David can exploit this...as you say i'm not sure if he can hurt him but i'm going for a stoppage due to accumulation of shots and also frustration.

 

jesus after watching a few highlights of valuev on the sky sports promo i dunno about you guys but im getting bloody nervous!!

 

Haye and Booth know that a wrestling match is the last thing they want, so it is highly unlikely.

 

roughing him up WWE style is his only way to win otherwise he's getting KO'd

 

Haye roughing Valuev up??

Not sure that is the best of options - as others have said already, in with the combinations and dance back out of there before Valuev starts grappling and wrestling him down.

Not convinved that Haye isnt going to gas if things get roughed up WWE style in there!

 

Funny how they barely mention the Holyfield fight which shows how and why Haye will win. :roll:
