Thread: Haye to win in round 1 is only 25/1....

Just been to check odds - only 25/1 for Haye to KO Valuev in first round. I was expecting at least 50/1 cos there's no way this will happen.


33/1 best odds in any round for a haye ko win - and thats 12. Amazingly Valuev is 66/1 to for that round.

I am confused....

Whats to be confused about. Not a cat in hells chance Valuev wins this, unless Haye gets very cocky & Valuev lands a one in a million in punch.

Haye will KO him, be surpised if first round, anything from round 2 upto 8 for me. But will not go the distance.

Would have thought better odds for a Valuev KO late on. If thats how Valuev is going to win thats where it will likely happen.

regardless of the fight being on German soil I can see Haye winning on points if he stays smart and keeps moving.

If not I can see Valuev getting a decision similar to Holyfield Lewis I and Roy Jones at the 88 Olympics.

Go for the body David - don't let that bastard breathe

I will be watching , i hope Haye wins , but i just got a feeling Valuev spoils / leans / smothers , a bit like Bonecrusher did again Tyson.
Then Haye runs out of gas and gets stopped.
I must admit , niether fighter is the divisions number 1 , but this fight has got me really excited to watch it.

Valuev has a very solid chance of winning.

So far Haye has proven he can KO guys who have already been KO'd and that he can 'kind of' take punches from Monte Barrett. I just think, unless Haye changes his style he will have big problems in the heavyweight division...maybe not with Valuev but eventually.

Plus the fight is in Germany which gives Valuev a great advantage if this fight goes to the cards, which I could see happening.

On betfair you can get better odds. Haye in round 1 is 37/1. The best is 54/1 in round 12.

Worth a gamble, shame i have given up. Fenster will take up the bet though.

NO chance. A first round win will be a surprise but not a shock where Haye is concerned.

Mark, you answered your own question. Would you lay it?

im sure if you shopped around you'd get a better price. Bookies are notorious pricks for not giving value for money. I mean, Haye should be at least 33s or 40s for a first round KO of a 2 time reigning heavyweight champion with 50 or so wins against 1 defeat. Especially when its his 3rd fight at the weight
