    I'm with Wlad as well I'm afraid.

    Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see that performance he put on against Monte Barrett as being good enough. Too reckless and open.

    What kind of weight do you guys think Haye will come in at?
    Something like what he was for Barrett, or will he bulk up some more?
    Given the extended period of time between the two fights, I would think he could do that quite naturally and healthy, instead of putting weight on just for the sake of it.

    I'm going with a late stoppage for Haye. :bbb

    I think his speed and power will carry him through.

    I voted for Wlad by TKO (think Haye will be stopped on his feet after getting up at least once), but I really want Haye to win and wouldn't be shocked to see Haye KO Wlad.

    He's capable of it, but IMO he should have fought at least 2 more fights at HW. If he had done that, against decent opposition, I'd have picked him straight off the bat. At the moment, from what we've seen, I can't use my head to pick Haye.

    Here's hoping though!

    Anyone think Haye might struggle with the hostile atmosphere, or the weight of expectation? :huh

    Is Haye mentally strong? or will he fold under the pressure?

    I think he went to a much more hostile atmosphere when he beat Mormeck in France, so that shouldn't be a problem. And German crowds aren't hostile.

    Haye is definately the underdog, and him pulling off the upset is less likely than Wlad winning as usual, but I'm backing Haye to KO Wlad mid rounds. The further it goes the better it is for Wlad.

    Haye by KO mid to late rounds. He is a cool headed guy and very relaxed and confident so atmosphere won't be an issue

    Again, the results of this poll are completely skewed and unrealistic.

    True! It just makes these things kinda pointless! Especially when you consider in international matchups the Brit forum gets things right, so the knowledge is there.

    I mean 75/25 is not the real world, nothing about this fight would point towards that sort of ratio.

    I think Wlad gets off the canvas to stop Haye.... Charles Brewer vs Herol Graham style.
