Thread: Booth: "I guarantee they cannot predict what David is going to do on 2 July"

According to Adam Booth.

Not come out during the ringwalk?

Na, seriously though and considering he isn't going to outbox Wladm my theory is he's gonna come charging out at the sound of the first bell, like a released animal, giving Wlad absolutely no time to think and start throwing bombs in the hope of securing a very quick knock out. Wlad, obviously, doesn't like pressure but if Adam Booth doesn't thinks Wladimir will not anticipate this, he is very naive.

I expect Adam Booth to have a very specific plan still though. Little quotes like this are attempted mind games. Trying to get them thinking.

I'd laugh if Haye came out swinging! I'd love it, even if he got KO'd, it'd be great to see him caged animal style, comes out flying and swinging. He is quick, he could land a few.

I now hope that's what he does, but I'm still expecting a gentle evasion tactic from him.

He's gonna come out and drop kick Wlad. Then flying elbow off the top turnbuckle.

I don't know about at the opening bell, but chances are Haye will pick his spots, and attempt some bull-rushes, not that it's going to do him any good, Wlad will be ready for it.
Haye figures to have some tricks up his sleeve, but here again, he isn't fighting some lumbering oaf like Valuev, or chumps like Barrett, Ruiz or Audley. Wlad is the best Heavyweight in the world, with advantages in size, skill, experience and devastating HW power, everything that might have worked for Haye before this fight, will fail July 2nd.

TBH Booth is gaining a bit of a pedigree when it comes to drawing up gameplans for his fighters when they take on so called "better" opposition.

Theres no way on earth I expected Groves to fight like he did against DeGale, but the Booth masterplan worked.

Can't see him coming out swinging. I suspect they will have a plan to attack fairly early, be cagey for a while, then attack heavily at certain times throughout the fight. That way it keeps Wlad guessing.

If Haye keeps his discipline, sticks to whatever plan Booth has got, and doesn't get caught, I can see him winning a UD.

And megatron turns up

David Haye is going to come out like Hagler and Hearns. If this thing settles down into a boxing match, Klit will out-duel him all night. Haye needs a sudden ferocious explosive thing to shock the fuck out of Klit early.

If Haye is going to win, he will win like LENNOX LEWIS BLEW AWAY ANDREW GOLOTA.

Otherwise, Klit is going to smoke Haye like a 20-cent Mexican cigarillo.

I don't think that Manny cares about what Haye will try, it's all about what Wlad has to do in order to keep Haye at bay and to mash him down; piston jabs, when it connects, unload the big hand, Haye gets too close? uppercut or Grab, loop and repeat.

That's what Wlad is expected to do so I guess that makes sense. The question is has booth came up with an unexpected tactic to overcome jab jab grab?

It could happen. I think the game plan has to be along the lines of be either a million miles away from wlad or be sat on his chest and work him on the inside. Never be at mid range.

I believe they'll just try to get Wlad to over commit to a right cross and counter it. Good luck if that's the case.

Avoiding the jab is a key, but avoiding the hook and right cross is the more important issue and the only person to do that is Corrie Sanders.

I must say I am quite interested in how this guy plans to beat Wladimir...if he's out to try and score a UD that's just as ballsy as coming out swinging for the fences from the get go simply because nobody has ever done it or even attempted it.

You and everyone else mate!

Long shot but if there was one thing, I think it'd be David trying a bit of switching up, boxing lefty.

Lefty, with wide feet... Just so at least his right foot is in Wlads kitchen.

I reckon with this, he might try dominate Wlad's left... He might throw out the right hand just to keep it up and working.. Try and dominate Wlad's left hand, turn it into a reactive weapon as opposed to a proactive one, read it and ultimately aim to land some bigger rights under and over Wlad's jab 'as and when'. Get Wlad on the go and then go to work.

Long shot, but that's what I think.

Personally (from a non professional trainer point of view), I could a see a tactics where he'd Ask Haye to quickly jump in, land big hands, turn right to avoid the big hand and go out of the "grab/uppercut" and repeat it, hoping that a big hand would land flush and send Wlad to sleep.
