Haye v Wlad poll

[tysonesque]

I've spent the past hour or so watching some of Haye's fights and I am now even more convinced that he is going to lose.

He really is nothing special at all when it comes down to it.

Wlad will knock him out.

[superheavyrhun]

Haye KO8.

I reckon its going to be a chess match first few rounds, Haye analysing the tactics in and out. They both might get shaken, but not too many clean punches landed.

Then glorified Fitness First coach gives Haye the go command and throws some big rights that just catch Wlad flush and then its timberrrr! Wlad might beat the count first time, but another 30 seconds, he goes down again, and no getting up this time.

Vitali jumps in the ring, and has to be restrained. Build up for Haye v Vitali begins, and the trash talk steps up another gear.

Haye just wades in, without anything coming back in return, throws some big right hands, catches Wlad flush, and drops him like a sack of rocks...

That scenario sounds to me more like a fantasy and wishful thinking rather then reality.

Good luck with your prediction, SHH.

cheers

That's not exactly how I thought it would pan out, but I do think there will come a point where Booth tells Haye to change the point of attack to the right which they will have worked on, and that will be critical.

I didn't say there wouldn't be anything coming back, but I see Haye getting around the jab which is ramrod straight and then landing big.

I could be wrong, but I believe Haye and his "power" at HW is being overrated to the hilt and another thing to keep in mind is Wlad just isn't that easy to hit with clean flush shots. Compared to Wlad, Haye is shit technically, and when he winds up with his big wild "hayemaker" shots, which Wlad will be expecting, he's going to get pulverized with counters. I don't believe Haye's over-hyped punching power will even be a factor in this fight.

The fight starts in about 2 hours, so I guess we'll find out who's right.

this fight all comes down to who isn't really nervous....they both know the other has a glass chin, each man knows his own chin is weak, both know the other has a k.o punch...if wlad's not to nevous and sticks to his game keeps chin down then its goner be hard for haye to gain confidents.....hayes banking on wlad to come after him and expose his weak chin and robotic movement. If Wlad doesnt enter the ring to worried like he has in the last few fights then hayes in truble, he'll burn alot of stamina danceing around avoid a wlad attack and prop get caught with a power shot.....Haye has to go for it early make wlad work and panic him and hope he lands the big one before he gats nailed......haye always talks about how wlads never been in a fight but nither has haye....anyone would hayes like EVANDER HOLYFIELD but he aint lol

[captainanddew]

not long and Wlad KOs Haye. Looking forward to it.

[g3org3]

Theres no way haye can win this vlad by ko, reminds me a bit of when mayeather vs hatton people were starting to believe in hatton when he had no chance.

[Pavlik]

I'd go for the smaller man, Haye.
by cold kayo.

[MyDixieWrecked]

Could go either way...

Klitschko wins if Haye doesn't take risks and just tries to box. He'll beat Haye down and stop him. I don't think it's a good idea for him to keep Haye around until the 12th.

Haye could win if he fights to win..takes risks on big shots, tries to back Klitschko up. Klitschko can't fight going backwards.

If they trade early, could go either way, but my money would be on Haye.

Bottom line is they both have power, weak chins and offense that matches up well against the others defense. I think the mind games leading up play a big role because it will probably effect the strategy.

[superheavyrhun]

Cockey Cockney, Master and Ono, credit to you getting this one right, not many people thought it would go 12.

I voted Wlad KO, but........ geeeeez, I just want it to be a GOOD fight. After seemingly YEARS of waiting, this is one of the two fights the public has been waiting for for a long time. The other, of course, is the Pac-PBF soap opera. Haye has talked the talk. Now I just hope he can walk the walk. I'm not that partial to either. I just want it to be a good fight. I'm worried that after all the incessant posturing and hype, some "Murphy's Law-esque" event will come up and bite the fight in the ass. Fight ends 'cause of a foul..... someone twists his ankle and the fight is over....... an accidental headbutt ends the proceedings....... you name it. The ring collapses and the fighters are injured....... whatever. I want a GOOD fight, damn it. I want both Wlad and Haye to rise to the occasion, and make the fight worth the damn wait.

Oh wait..... how could I forget another and a very likely scenario? Geeeeeeez..... I hope it's not another Wlad-Sultan borefest, with Haye avoiding Wlad's power shots and Wlad pawing like an idiot the whole fight. That would be the biggest bummer of all.

That being said, and if they come to fight, I don't think Haye will be able to avoid Wlad's bombs throughout the whole fight, and will eventually get caught.

UNFORTUNATELY....... the fight lived down to my expectations.

Haye KO round 4

hahah - Talk about a long shot. What are you basing this on? Haye could not KO Valuev, took 9 rounds to KO Ruiz and 5 rounds to KO Barrett and Monte even managed to knock Haye on his ass for an unofficial KD. Haye also took 3 rounds to KO Harrison and Fraudley wasnt even punching back. Now you are saying Haye will KO a guy that hasnt even been remotely in trouble against ring top ten Heavyweights in his last 10 fights? Barrett, Valuev and Harrison combined dont have the power or skill of Wladimir.

I think Haye is going to run all day and either Wlad will get a late KO or will take a wide unanimous decision.

haha - Haye is a total FRAUD - Haye knew he was behind and still didnt try and fight!!

[TitoFan]

I think it's safe to say there won't be too much "Fight of the Year" talk.
