Can Haye KO him?

If Haye can't beat him from pillar to post for twelve rounds he'll probably get robbed on the cards. Haye has done 7 rounds in two years. If he can't KO him will he get the trip?

I'd love to see Haye cause a minor earthquake by dumping that big lump through the canvas - which will obviously be one of the greatest sights in the history of boxing.

What happens?

Valuev late TKO. Just have a bad feeling about it. Of course if Holyfield can do it Haye should be able to.

Vote you lazy sod.

I was starting to think Haye might run out of steam and get stopped as well. Luckily I can't even pick my nose at the moment. Good news for you Dave...

I dont see any real reason why Haye cant just do a more active version of what Evander Holyfield did. It was such a safe gameplan and he didnt take any punishment at all.

2 of the cards from the judges in that fight were 114-114 and 115-114 Valuev and Evander hardly engaged. Just take the same blueprint and bustle in once/twice more per round (so still a very safe gameplan) and that would be enough to take it on the cards.

I think if Haye goes in looking for a KO that will be his downfall as he will be tired come the later rounds and lose on points or maybe even get stopped in the second half.

Haye all the way for me and if he could knock him down it would be good to see if he goes through the ring and if he stops him it will send out a statement to the heavyweights.

yeah if haye does that then the world is his!

Haye will use his speed and out box him to a points decision, which means split decision Germany.

Hairy Beast wins for me. Probably inside the distance

Anybody know the UK start time of the fight?

That was kinda what I though - Cheers

i am supposed to be out in manchester saturday night but really wanna stay in & watch the fight, decisions decisions

Haye has the Evander blueprint to follow and he has more speed and power but he has nowhere near the experience of Evander or the class/patience.

Evanders focus went a long way to him executing that gameplan but I question if Haye can do the same. Hayes not had that many fights and he hasnt fought many big men. Not only that but Evander had an amazing chin. Hayes been floored and stopped by cruisers.

Styles make fights so if Haye feels all he has to do is copy what Evander did then he is in for a shock. He may have to dig deep and box out of his comfort zone unlike Evander.

Where's yours?

I actually think Haye should be the first to stop Valuev. If not, he'll win a wide decision as long as he doesn't gas. I'm not as sold on Haye as some people, but I have a very low opinion of Valuev.
