Wlad KO 11.
There may be some fireworks early, as I do believe Haye will make an effort to get inside and unleash his power punches. Perhaps he catches Wlad with one or another, but I personally believe he is much more defensively sound now. By round 5 the Klitschko jab starts landing with regularity and from there on in, it turns into something of a beatdown. I think too many people are getting caught up in the emotion of this fight. While I'd love to see some fresh blood in the division, and Haye is much more exciting than Wladimir (in talk & action), I just don't see a fight which proves he can deal with a fighter of this pedigree. Also for everything I've heard about Haye's speed, not often have I heard about his stamina. Can Haye really move around and throw for a full 12 rounds against a man who surely will lean his 6'6 frame on him. I'd be happy with either man winning to be honest, the charismatic trashtalker, or the educated assassin. I just see it being like so many of Wlad's other opponents. KO #50
