David Haye to fight Wladimir Klitschko

[Hunter]

Here is my report card for Wlad vs Haye:

Technical Skills - Advantage Wlad - Wlad mastered the jab under tutalage of Stewart, has solid defense and fights tall. Haye seems to fight off balance and defense is porous.

Confidence - Advantage Haye - This is an area where Wlad has always struggled. He can become rattled and I believe this is the reason for his losses and knockdowns.

Chin - Advantage Wlad - Haye is buzzed regularly during his fights. I believe the knockdowns Wlad has suffered were more from folding under pressure than being buzzed or out on feet

Experience/Level of Opposition - Advantage Wlad - IMO Wlad has been in with a much higher level of opposition than Haye and is obviously proven at HW. Wlad also has the patience and will not rush things to try and get a knockout.

Power - Advantage Wlad - No question here the jab, left hook and 1/2 of Wlad has put down some proven HWs. Haye also has good power but not proven at HW.

Speed - Advantage Haye - Although Wlad can throw some speedy combo's/hook off jab Haye has the faster hands.

Conclusion - I am excited about the fight and it should be interesting for the first couple rounds but I believe Wlad's technically sound skills (jab and ability to fight tall), larger size, and power will catch up to Haye in round 8 and Wlad will win via TKO. Haye will try and rush Wlad but will find that piston jab in his face before he can do any damage (similar to the brewster fights)....Haye will go for broke to land the power shots but will be hit with some major shots (jabs, left hooks, and straight rights) as he comes in and will take a pretty good beating over the course of the fight....
