If this was big brother klitch It would be more believable on my part, but Haye can hit just as well, and Wald chin is some what fragile as we all know it. If Peters slow ass can hit and wobble Klitch, then believe Haye can do the same. Haye's faster the and more agile then Peters. It's not going to be that easy for Wald as some may believe.
Wlad wins by KO in 3 or less. I see this 75/25% The 25% is the chance Haye quits somewhere during the fight if it goes long.
I agree. I hopa Wlad wins it, but anyone that dismisses Hayes chances is plain naiv. This far Haye has been able to do everything he said he would, and he has the guts to step into the ring with Wlad, even though he knows that the challengers usually ends up gettin badly KO'd. This is a fight between two absolute top dogs within the sport of boxing.
Exactly. Wlad and Steward know this is merely a PR line to sell the fight. Anyone with boxing knowledge knows that Wlad will unload on Haye as soon as he sees an opening. He'll get him outta there as soon as possible. And that just makes good sense. Wlad knows that Haye is a monster puncher, himself. Can't let that kind of threat last for the full fight, if you can help it.
Deep down Wlad is going to give Haye more respect than anyone he has fought in recent times. He can say all he wants (to hype the fight) but in reality he knows what Haye brings, as does Haye of Wlad. They are both professionals. Forget the talk, both men know that they have what it takes to beat the other, both have strengths and weaknesses and both are only human. Whoever shows up better on the night, takes this one. I mean Wlad would be the favourite but stylewise Haye is a nightmare. He is everything that has the goods to beat Wlad, speed, power, athleticism. Wlad has big power in both hands too, this really is a clash of the titans fight. You gotta give them both a lot of respect for taking the fight and settle it finally.
Best post in this thread :good But I have to say I think Wald will take it. Don't get me wrong Haye does have a chance....But I don't think he can pull it off. Guess we all have to just wait till fight night and find out. Peace
I think people underestimate the fact that Wlad actually LIKES to fight, wants to fight more often, and fights more rounds because he wants that much more experience. It's not that he's timid and won't go in for the kill, it's that he enjoys battering his opponent into a shell of a man and then knocking their ass out if they don't quit on the stool first. Am I wrong, CHEF? Does Wlad not WANT to fight more than a couple rounds each time out? Sometimes the knockout just comes early and is unavoidable, like the one-handed Ray Austin KO, but in general, I think Wlad just likes to take it into the middle/late rounds and dominate.
I think Wlad will KO Haye fairly early. I hoping for a Ray Austin style, left hook off the jab but followed by the right cross type KO. The kind where Haye doesn't beat the count. Maybe with some drool hanging out of the corner of his mouth and a leg shaking strangely.....................
