Hats off to Haye for taking this fight, but im sorry to say i see him being KO before the 8th.
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.
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.
I'm not trying to say the has a chin or recovery powers of a Holyfield or Ali but he may well shock a few of you with what he can take. Then again he has never faced anyone with anything like Wlads power and if he does get caught with too many clean shots he will go, but that said Wlad is in the same boat IMO, if he gets caught by some of Haye's big bombs it will be lights out for him too and judging by the fact that Haye is way quicker and far less robotic than Wlad I see him connecting with some.
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!![]()
Fantastic news. A heavyweight bout thats bound to be a corker!
I hope you're right, I really will be rooting for Haye because there needs to be a change in the Heavyweight Division and Haye is exciting and I agree with you, he does have the tools. 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.
For the first time since I can remember.... I'll actually be looking forward to watching a heavyweight fight.

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.
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.
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.
