Let's be realistic - what are the odds that Haye pulls off an upset?

I'm going to put money on a haye KO and also I'll choose a round.

You finally found something to say about the actual thread.

Thanks

Obviously as the matchmakers have it.. It is only a minor upset. When is the last time Wlad was listed this close to an opponent odds-wise?
And whoever thinks there is going to be a littel feeling out in the first 3 rounds is drastically wrong. The longer the fight goes the worse chance Haye has. I think he will be able to to box some with Wlad and win exchanges, but he will not win against a downhill-jackhammer jab.

The matchmakers aren't going to be able to sell a fight saying that Haye has no chance, it has to seem like Haye is a real threat to tap Wlad's "glass chin" and knock him out. I'll say this for Haye, for as little as he's been able to accomplish at the elite/championship level, he's done a hell of job hyping himself, and promoting this fight.

Unless Wlad just comes out and pulverizes Haye in the 1st couple rounds, (which isn't likely) Haye figures to have his moments. Like i've said in other threads/posts, every time Haye lands a jab or a love tap on Wlad, the Brit announcers and Haye's fans will be pissing themselves with excitement. Hell, Haye might even land a decent wild shot or 2, but ultimately, reality will set in for Haye, and Wlad's skill level, size, experience and punching power will dominate the action.

I've posted 3 or 4 times on this thread and it's ALL been about the thread. Might want to get yourself to spec savers son.
