Finally - But I see David Haye is still talking smack (makes it hard to like this guy), Saying Wlad was shamed into the fight and it is going to be his easiest fight.......
Does this guy realize he sounds like a fukking clown??? Does he think boxing fans are idiots???
It is going to be an uphill battle for Haye......I am going to start referring to Haye as "2%" because he has a 2% chance of beating Wlad......
At least he is ranked in the top ten by The Ring.
Wow haye sounds like a douche "this will be one of my easiest fights"...shit I hope wlad rips him a new one...and really it still doesn't seem like its a done deal...
It's all part of an act with Haye and it works for me ;)
He's old school trash talking and the stunts he pulls (the Wlad's head one) are hilarious and get him the attention he is looking for. He is just what the division needs and a win against Klitschko will breathe some life back into the heavies.
On saying that I only give him a 30% chance of pulling it off
Yeah, not sure he can do it, but I hope he does, because the Klitschkos are nice guys, but they don't bring new fans to the sport.
As much as I want Haye to win, not sure about his resistance to Wlad's jab n straight right though, cos' I reckon one or two times in the night he's gonna connect.
I can still see how Haye could win it, I'm assuming he'll be faster than Wlad. Either way it should be exciting, cos' Haye won't allow Wlad to play it slow n safe...which could ultimately be his downfall
The problem with Haye's trashing talking is he doesnt seem convincing, it seems forced and he doesnt appear confident.......Quote:

Haye is a very good trash talker in my opinion, unlike Mayweather, he doesn't do it to hype the fight, he really is that much of a dick. He can also apparently gave as good as he got with Mick Carney, the chief trainer at Fitzroy Lodge, mine & David's amateur club. Anyone who's been there knows that must mean he's a pretty good shit-talkerQuote:

Great news. Won't belong before we're done with this charade known as David Haye.
Haye has the power to KO Wlad, no doubt in my mind at all. It's more likely Wlad will box his fucking ears off but there is a chance for Haye, he is a devastating puncher.Quote:

hehe I love Haye's attitude, times up for Klitschko brothers (well one of them) I can see Haye taking this one
There are alot of people that have the power to KO Wlad....I am sure Lamon Brewster did, Calvin Brock, Sam Peter, etc etc,Quote:

I think Haye has way more speed than any you mention there, so he can land if he picks his moments.Quote:

It will end in a KO, that is a mathematical certainty.
Finally, this will be an exciting fight (or at least it should) for the heavyweight division again. Hopefully, Haye pulls off the upset, but I don't see it happening. A couple of jabs by Wlad might rock Haye and knock him out.
It will be one of Haye's easiest fights, he won't be able to do a thing.
Wladimer is gonna stop him.
Finally! I'm not a big Haye fan, but I couldn't hope for Wlad to win could I now? He's a stifling bore. I hope Haye is right and he does KO Wlad, but I don't think it will be as easy as he says it will. He will most likely get knocked out himself. But if he goes down trying in an entertaining fight, then you can't say better than that.
Wlad is due a chin check anyway. If Haye can land early and shake Wlad up a little it could be interesting. Or else Wlad will keep Haye at bay and jab him to death before deciding to follow up and end the torture.
The press conference should be fun.
I think Haye might surprise people with his chin. I truly believe his trouble at Cruiser was draining himself to make weight and I believe a comfortable weight for him to be at is around 220 lbs. When he was stopped by Thompson (as a child) he weighed 190lbs so 30lbs below his comfort zone must have drained a lot of energy from Haye.Quote:

I definitley think Haye has the tools to beat Wlad and vice versa, and that is what makes this an interesting fight for me. As for Hayes trash talking, we all know it's to sell the fight and they will be big mates after the fight!
Keep checking on this fight, as soon as it's announced I'm booking my flight.
I can get a flight for £80 to Berlin from East Mids, should be even cheaper for you guys down south (Heathrow). Seems almost rude not to go at those prices! ;D
I've been checking travelsupermarket and flights seem even cheaper than that if you book midweek!Quote:

Haye's prediction about making it to the 6th rd is hopeful thinking cause I don't see him (Haye) making it past the 5th after all he will not be in the ring with Jean Marc Mormeck or washed up Monte Barrett . Like I said before Haye has not earned a HW title fight or the payday that comes with it but he has earned a humiliating ass whipping and it will be humiliating to lose by KO or better yet quit in his corner (LOL) after talking so much shit.
yep - i fancy making a trip out of this one. Even though I know it will be short and sweet whoever wins
no way does this one go further than 5
I definitely hope everyone is right, the sport is in need of a decent top heavyweight fightQuote:

He is powerful, quick and he might slip a couple of jabs by Wlad and get inside and start hammering Wlad. Who knows, but at least it will be the best Heavyweight fight in a long long time.Quote:

For the first time since I can remember.... I'll actually be looking forward to watching a heavyweight fight.
:) :)
Even if it is not all it cracks up to be, at least it will strike some much needed interest into the division!Quote:

I actually wouldn't mind seeing HBO do a 24/7 series for this fight. It might spark a little interest from a the casual fan to the HW division.

24/7 should be reserved for special moments in the sport when 2 genuinely great fighters come together and clash. Wlad and Haye havent blown anyone away to date and i hardly think many of the heavyweight sceptics around now will be convinced into buying this!!
When asked about the fight being in germany where it is notoriusly hard to get a fair result from refs and judges he said he didnt care. All he needs is a ref that can count to 10 and hold his arm in the air.
trash talking? Definatly but theres been 100'000 trashtalking boxers throughout the years and its just funny.

That's Haye for you.. he may talk trash but unlike most trash talkers he intends to back it up and he wants to back it up ASAP. Wlad will be coming out of this fight with a fear of english men for the rest of his life.
I know some of you will throw up in your mouth a little when i say it...but i have to be honest with myslef and say i really do think haye will win this fight. I know i know i just think he pulls it off by KO.
However long the fight lasts Haye will be a threat. That's because, unlike your typical Klitschko opponent, he's blessed with mobility and speed. There's even a good chance that by fight time he won't be thierty pounds overweight with a big spare tyre round his waist. All he needs to do then is emulate boxing great Corrie Sanders and manage to stick one on that crystal mandible.
This is a weird one for me as I've long detested the Hayemaker as you know. However since Lefty has not been around and we havn't had to endure all those man-boy love images he's got a lot more appealing.
If I'm completely honest the reasons I hate him are jealously related more than anything. His buffness annoys me, his street cool image annoys me, the girls dripping of his arms annoy me and the fact that he is extremely successful to go along with other attributes annoys me most of all.
Putting aside my own prejudices though the guy is exciting.
I'm with Mar I think the closer this gets to fight time the more the odds will shorten on Haye until its an almost even fight by the time they step in the ropes.
We've seen many fights recently which on paper initially seemed unrealistic, Pacman against Oscar, Khan against Barrera the most high profile but there have been others Dunne against Cordoba, Rogan Skelton etc.
Wlad has hardly looked impressive of late against the likes of Thompson, Ibragimov and Rahman and he hasn't fought a real live opponent since Sam Peter in 2005.
Haye is much better boxer than Peter, faster, more agile, possibly a more devastating puncher, certainly more aggressive.
Seeing the trouble Wlad had with Peter, being decked 3 times I think there is a great chance that Haye does exactly what he says and blows Wlad away.
What I think is great about this fight is that we at least know Haye will have a go, unlike all the weak hearted plodders Wlad has faced in recent years.
I think its a win win for boxing, either Haye knocks out Wlad and we have a new actually exciting heavyweight or else Wlad withstands Hayes assualt and in turn demolishes him making Wlad suddenly the attractive exciting world champ he always should have been.
I can't wait for this fight it will be the biggest in the heavyweight division for a long long time.
Come fight night I might even be rooting for the Hayemaker, he is British after all :-X
