Freddie roach opinion on haye-kliitschko

[Mark TKO]

Interesting views from Roach

Don't buy The Ring any more so son't know if they have done their "Haye v Klitschlko who will win ? Twenty experts have their say" article as yet. Presume they have.

If so can anyone share the stats on how many went for Haye ??

It was 17-3 in favour of Wlad. Seth Mitchell, Tris Dixon and and Kevin Johnson were the ones that picked Haye

Since El Kabong asked, and as a way to shamelessly nudge up my post count, the 17 that picked Wlad were:

Brian Kenny
Bernard Fernandez
Tim Starks
Monte Barrett
Lem Satterfield
Bjorn Jensen
Crivelli Riccardo
Graham Maclean
David Griesman
Kieran Mulvaney
Steve Farhood
Tim Smith
Eddie Chambers
Thomas Dierenga
Al Bernstein
Vittorio Parisi
Genaro Hernandez (RIP)

I think pretty much every one of them picked him by KO.

Barrett's pick was interesting. He said although he thinks Wlad will win, if anyone can beat him it's Haye. He said Haye has deceptive power and punches just as hard as Wlad. He also said he's crafty and you never have a steady target which is something he wasn't prepared for, and that he has a good sense of measuring and manoeuvring his way into punching range.

He said the only way he sees Haye winning is if he puts Wlad into uncomfortable spaces, which is something he doesn't like, but he doesn't see Haye being able to do that. He did acknowledge that Wlad's a different beast to when he fought him, but it's interesting never the less.

I agree with them

Two guns has had someone else write that for him

You'll be telling me Hornfinger has started to make sense next.

thats 17-4

I was shocked when I read Freddie's comments. Was Haye fighting the Wald of 6-7 years ago? This might be a different fight. But Wlad obviously isn't the same guy he was then. He is far, far better.

Maybe I'm missing something but this looks like an absolute slaughter to me. 13 stays on his feet only as long as he runs.
