Haye Fans Gather Round: What's the winning formula?

[Mark TKO]

I honestly don't rate Wlad that highly in an all time capacity. He's the 2nd best out there now and has had a very good career. His brother is far superior imo.

I also think Haye is vastly overrated, I just don't see what everybody else seems to. I have never been sold on him and still am not.

I really want Haye to win, but I think he is going to get beaten like a little boy. First time Wlad connects properly Haye is toast imo.

That said, I give him a punchers chance and for me his best bet is to come out in round 1 a la Tyson and go for it!!!

couldnt agree more with this evaluation.

However if Haye does win in explosive style then I will have to admit I got him totally wrong. Maybe we should discard the immature performance against Carl Thompson.

Theres not one fight Wlad has had in recent years when I havent had any doubts he will win but I do have them with this one

I do want Haye to win badly mind.

If he wins in first round I won't be shocked, if he loses in first round I won't be shocked.

The only thing that would surprise me in this fight is Haye by decision.

I can't wait for this one !

Are Haye haters welcome in this thread too?

So guys, when Haye is sprawled out on the canvas unconscious is he going to be belly up or belly down?

I'm going with face down.

I think it may go the distance because Haye will use his speed and ring movements by fighting on the outside. If he gets too close he will get hit with the jab and knocked out by the right hand. If he gets tied by Wlad he will get sapped by Wlad leaning on him and tiring him out. He will rely on his superior stamina and speed to take it into the later rounds and try and knock him out then, by which time I think time will have run out and Haye loses a controversial decision for the second British fighter in 2 weeks.
