Haye vs Wlad Klitschko

[skel1983]

I am not really impressed with what they showed with Haye's training. I mean sure Wlad has a long jab and it's good and all but it's him hooking off the jab that should worry Haye and his trainer.

What's the story with Adam Booth anyway? Is Haye his first big time fighter or has he worked with other fighters who have had good success??

I think Booths background is all to do with physical training and nutrition, please someone correct me if im wrong, he might of had some sort of dealings with martial arts aswell. But he has been with Haye since he picked him up as an am when he was 16 years old. But im pretty certain Haye was his first project as a boxing trainor.

The long jab on a stick is something that's been used at my gym Fitzroy Lodge for a while. Both Booth & Haye came out of here so I'm guessing someone's picked 'em up on it. It actually is surprisingly painful when you get caught in the face with, seen bloody noses & badly split lips from it, although ours is on the end of a thick wooden stick

I seriously see Haye getting blasted out in this fight.

I really hope David Haye ends up being a big SOMEBODY in the division but he will lose vs Wladimir right now. Do you guys remember when everyone said "Wlad isn't ready for Lennox Lewis" back in 2003...well that was when Wladimir had a record of 40-1 AT HEAVYWEIGHT....David Haye is 2-0 at heavyweight, he's 22-1 in his career, his amateur record is ...hell I have no idea about it, I know he lost a couple times (as amateurs do) but I don't know if he had a lot of fights and at what weight classes and vs who and what styles give him trouble etc.

Haye is the unknown...he's flashy and everything but right now he could be Mike Tyson or Audley Harrison or somewhere in the middle and that (somewhere in the middle) is where I have him pegged. I think Haye could beat some top guys but I also think some top guys could give him trouble...and the guys I would mention that would give him trouble would have people calling me a hater but I just call them on style/ability I we have seen.

Right now I see him beating most of the heavy weights out there as long as they don't enjoy a massive physical advantage over him.

His amateur career ----

Haye began his amateur career during the 1990s. In 1999, he attended the World Amateur Boxing Championships, which were held in Austin, Texas. However, he suffered a defeat early on in the competition. His performance in the 2001 World Amateur Boxing Championships was considerably more successful.
His progress through the competition was marked by a number of important wins, including one against Sebastian Kober, who had won the heavyweight boxing gold medal during the 2000 Sydney Olympics. However, Haye was defeated in the final round of the competition by the Cuban, Odlanier Solis. Nevertheless, Haye had come to be regarded within the boxing fraternity as a clear force to be reckoned with.
