    I suspect Paddy Power and the like will eerily be following your prognosis you've had over the years but only it will happen within one week.

    Slips got it spot on.

    Circle to Wlad's left on outside of Jab and let shots come from out the eye line. Feint to offset him. Especially early he's very nervous and rides back at times.

    Then the half hook/jab fake with right hand coming over! a thing of beauty if done right!

    50% of the Brit forum picking Haye by KO isn't a surprise, we always tend to be a little partizan in here as you'd expect, but not ridiculously so. I've noted a lot of the best pickers are mostly taking Wlad though.

    I've noticed a lot of Eskimos refrain from making any predictions or votes at all.. :deal

    A lot of the best pickers were taking Degale over Groves.

    Ive picked correctly in my last 7 fights, betting on all (including BHop and Groves points wins getting me a nice little amount) and im betting on a Haye win by KO/TKO/DSQ.

    That tastes sweet to me. Good luck :good

    Personally I can't get a reliable feeling for this fight. If I were betting money it would be Haye on points. Don't ask me why - like I said a feeling.

    Except that he got beat at the game he claimed he was unbeatable at...

    DeGale was never all that - I still don't get this mysterious potential that he has.

    He's a good fighter, maybe we went a bit overboard with how highly he was getting rated but he's a class act and I think in a couple of years,a tough match for anyone.

    He still has great potential imo. Just the victim of ******ed hype on here.

    You know too much to be swayed by the hype.

    The 60/40 should be your call :good

    Anyone can pick 50 straight if they play it safe and pick the right fights. Although Vlad is a warm favourite, there are still plenty easier fights to pick a winner.

    As kind of mentioned, I would love to see Haye win, but cannot see it, unless his trainer truly is King of the Black Arts...:scaredas:

    I would gladly eat my humble pie, if David does it.

    I said 'bordering' on it, lol.

    I'm not being swayed by the hype, Granty. Just watching a ton of Wlad footage recently makes me give Haye more of a chance. I'm still picking Wlad to win though.
