Thing about Wladimir is he has a good jab but he also can be tagged with one. In the Brewster fight I was watching, first one, Brewster yes took a beating, but when he decided to be active or throw punches, it would be a snapping jab, and whenever it landed on the inside of Wladimer's jab his head would snap back. Call me crazy but I think the best way Haye can deal with Wladimer's jab is by getting his off first, snapping Wladimir's head back with a jab to set everything else up. People that fight the Klits usually go in with wide shots and no one aside from Brewster really tried to jab with Wladimir on the inside and with the way Wladimer holds his hands a counter jab would almost always land on him because he wouldn't bring his hand back in time. It was a point made in the Malignaggi vs Khan fight when talking about both their jabs. I think if Haye can catch Wladimir consistently with his own jab the fight may go more in his favor than his usual style of staying on the outside and waiting to leap in with his counter right. He has an underrated jab, he should use it.
