Honestly, how do you really expect Wlad vs. Haye to go?

[Mars_ax]

I can see a number of scenarios for Wlad - Haye , but all have Wlad winning, the only way Haye wins this is if Wlad gets some kind of freakish injury and can't continue.

The most likely scenario I see, is something simular to Wlad's fight with another small HW, Eddie Chambers. Chambers was able to go 12 rounds with Wlad before getting brutally KTFO. I figure Haye, who isn't even as good as Chambers, will only make it to the 7th or 8th round before getting crushed by one of Klitschko's big right hands.

please dont ask for the logic behind what i think but i genuinely see this being a blowout, with HAYE winning by KO

something like round 3/4 he catches klit with a monster, wlad stumbles to 8 but takes a barrage of punches and the ref calls it off

[Hornfinger]

Anything could happen in this fight, and that's why I'm looking forward to it.

all I know is Haye's only chance is to hurt Wlad early and get his respect, other wise he has no chance.

[Mark TKO]

Honestly - about the 8th time I wrote this - but here goes with percentages on outcomes


70% - Haye gets worn down by that jab and stopped late

30% - Haye wins by KO before end of Round 5


No way does Haye win on points or by late stoppage

Ok, I won't ask, because there really isn't any logic behind it at all. Haha, j/k mate, you've got a right to your opinion, and in boxing stranger things have happened.

[BIG H]

It's really interesting, simply because we know Wlad is vunerable and can be floored. He also hasn't been a proper fight for a long time. If it was Vitali I would give Haye approx 0.1% chance, but with Wlad he deffo has a punchers chance.

How do I think it will go? Not very far! No more than 6 rounds, 70% Wlad KO/TKO, 30% Haye KO/TKO (I think that's the same as Mark's opinion)

Yup i think thats a fair shout.

[ninjaspy3]

I predict a cautious showing from both fighters during round 1. Lots of feinting and such. After that I envision Haye trying to move in on Wlad. I think round 2 will be a good indication of what may happen after. If we witness Haye being clinched on the inside, having trouble, and starting to get frustrated, then from that point we are most likely to see a stoppage in favor of Wlad about round 7 or 8.. maybe even after scoring a knock down on Haye first. However, if Haye proves able to sneak in a few in round 2, and Wlad appears very uncomfortable, we may witness Haye catching Wlad with a flurry somewhere around round 4 or 5. If Haye is going to get the win, it will likely be KO or stoppage before 8. Third option is Haye shows some early success but ultimately cannot get to Wlad. Haye begins to get tired, gets caught more, Wlad's confidence rises, and Haye is stopped or KO'd by round 10.

No 12 rounders predicted here.

70% chance Klitchko's cornerman puts "too much vaseline" on him before the fight and "clogs up his pores" preventing him from sweating...... ........like he claimed after he was wiped up like a rag doll after Brewster fought him. And if its the OTHER K brother fighting Haye---I really havent remembered which---then HE'LL get the vaseline intensive care around the rectum. Either way on this one, as much as I dislike Haye, we are going to hear a MAJOR complaint/controversy coming from K.

[El Kabong]

Ha brock you're full of it. Wlad has had 0 issues with 'Stitch' as his cutman. Souza got a bad rap because Wlad punched himself out vs Brewster. After Wlad scored the knockdown he went for broke and Brewster had the chin to deal with it.

Wlad will probably floor his opponent early 1st or 2nd round...have 1 tough round where his opponent attempts to make a fight of it and then Wlad cruises to a middle round stoppage...once the WBA title holder feels the power he'll shell up like the rest of the 49 guys Wlad has KO'd.

[Dean Duke]

When I first thought about this fight it was a win via Knockout or tko to either fighter with Wlad the favourite but as time has rumbled on I am now leaning towards a points victory for David or Tko for Wlad, I can see Haye using speed, power and fast feet to pot shot to victory never letting him self go gun ho and loosing his composure a bit like the Valuev fight without the damage to the right hand so he can throw a bit more leather than he did in that fight but still keeping the distance and never letting wlad get set to throw a power shot, bit of a boring fight really for most but if your British and support our boys no matter what it will be nerve wracking a very exciting. On the other hand Wlad could keep David on the end of the jab and increasingly catch David with big rights then Haye takes a Knee, then another then just folds in the later rounds Wlad proving just to big and strong for our boy, one thing I will be looking forward to is reading the posts on here after the fight if a miracle does occur and Haye wins it will be very funny reading, if my boy looses putting up a good fight I wont be upset, most of the time a good big one will beat a good little one, but we live in hope.

[marbleheadmaui]

I think Haye fights extremely cautiously as he did against Valuev and Audley. The fight will go as long as he continues to do that, losing every round due to Wlad's jab. The second or third time Haye engages? I expect the authorities to have to call in the paramedics. The promoter needs to make sure the ref can count to 100 or so.

Afterwards I expect Haye to come up with a long list of excuses.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

I think Haye does well to make Wlad miss a bit but winds up being driven back in straight lines to the ropes untill Wlad hooks off the jab just as David tries to 'fidget' to the right and is instantly KOed.

[Cressa121]

Klitschko by KO. I think they'll both be cautious early because they both know the other guy has the power to take them out. Wlad has good defence so I can see Haye struggling to land cleanly in the few instances he throws something. Haye's defence isn't all that so I can't see Wlad having too many problems finding the target when he throws, it's just a matter of how long it takes before he's comfortable enough in there to throw some big punches to end the fight.

[Saddo]

90% I feel Haye will freeze and go into suvival mode from the off and i'm not sure if Wlad will KO him early or want to make it last so he punishes him ala "Ali Vs Terrell" (whats my name )

10% Haye has the speed to connect early and catches Wlad totally cold like fat farmer sanders
