I'm curious about how everyone on the Saddoboxing forum thinks this fight will turn out. :cool:
Since Wlad has been known to have a questionable chin and/or stamina issues in the past, i'll give Haye a puncher's chance, but not much of one. I see Wlad making a statement and dominating Haye with his left jab and pounding him with straight right hands, until about the 7th round when either the ref stops it or Haye's corner throws in the towel.
Yes, Wladimir is known for having a questionable chin and combined with Haye's punching power, this is what makes the fight BIG and EXCITING at least for the first 4-5 rounds. Since Haye is not known for a granite chin either, I see his only chances are taking away Wlad's jab with good defense, footwork and speed at least for the first 3-4 rounds so Wladimir gets angry and impatient and wants to EXCHANGE early. I mean that's the best chance for Haye, avoid his jab, time his power shots, counter them with his own bombs, and finish the job early. How much of a chance is that in percentage? 30 at MOST. I mean Klitschko is the favorite to win here, but everything unexpected can happen in the first few rounds if the younger, faster, power punching boxer lands on Champs questionable chin. ;)
Haye will be kept at bay by a piston like jab with the reach of a sniper riffle and will slowly get mashed till Haye crashes on the Canvas around the 5th round. All other alternativse are only fantasy and making believe, fact.
The idea that Wlad is the same guy he was 7-8 years ago with the same vulerabilities is simply wrong.
This fight will last as long as Haye decides not to engage. Whenever he does? That jab will hurt him. From there it's a short distance to the end.
Wlad hurts him early and then proceeds to carry him rounds to humiliate him and Wlad ends the fight in 8 by KO.
1st right cross that lands will put the WBA title holder on his ass and let him know just how far up creek he is.
Getting in the ring with Wlad? That's like swimming with Jaws! KO victim #50 coming up!!!
Either Haye knocks him out Wlad in the first four/five rounds or it's going to be a very long and painful night for David. I wouldn't want to put money on this fight, put it that way. Still fancy Wladimir to win by late stoppage.
I've got Wladimir by 6th round kayo.

The bottom line is, Haye is going to be shittin' himself come fight night when he looks across and sees Klitschko, and realizes he's going to have to put up or shut up. It's like Joe Louis said, "they can run, but they can't hide", Haye is going to get his ass kicked.
Not a rocket science kind of scrap. Who ever lands flush first wins. Don't go for a piss.
K2 Promotions and Sky will be the biggest winners
haye only has to land once and he can in any round
I want Haye to win, but Wladimir is just too precise & I see him stopping him after a beating in 10.
Wlad inside 6 (hope I'm wrong!)
Wlad by KO/TKO. Haye has the power to take Wlad out, I just think he'll struggle to get past the jab, he's very open to straight right hands, and I think Wlad will land cleaner punches more regularly than Haye will. I don't think it'll go past 5. Haye can win though, I just don't think he will
David Haye will be weary of the jab which Wlad works off almost exclusively so both will be tentative. Wlad should look to drive Haye back in a straight line so that he can anticipate when exactly when Haye will move laterally (which he never punchers out from) so once moving (hopefully right), Wlad can nail him with a left hook.
What I'm saying is; if it ends early, it'll be with a left hook.
