I back Wlad - Warren
![]()
Frank Warren believes heavyweight world champion Wladimir Klitschko will be too strong for Dave Haye when they meet on June 20 in a contest to be shown live on Setanta Sports 1.
A crowd of 60,000 is expected to pack the VTL ARENA in Germany and Warren believes not only is the Ukrainian the stronger man but the venue is less than ideal for the English challenger.
"David Haye has taken that fight because he is going to the lion's den and he had no other option because that fight was never going to take place in the UK despite what was being said," Warren told Setanta.com.
"Klitschko will be too big for him, be too much of a boxer for him and he does go over if he gets hit on the chin himself but then again so does David. In his last fight, I think he had the opponent on the floor four or five times but still got clipped and went over himself and was hurt.
"If he catches Klitschko he could knock him out but I do not see him outboxing Klitschko.
"If you look at David he has been stunned previously, [Jean-Marc] Mormeck had him on the floor although he beat Enzo Maccarinelli, Enzo wobbled him in the first round and cut him, a journeyman last time out had him on the floor and Carl Thompson has had him on the floor.
"We are talking about bigger men now. Guys who will be weighing 18 to 19 stone with big punches and David has come up from cruiserweight and he will be looking for speed, but his hands are too low and he won't get away with that at this level."
