Valuev's Trainer Believes Haye is Heading For a Fall
By Terence Dooley
Nickolay Valuev's trainer Alexander Zimin has told The Daily Mirror that he has plotted the downfall of David Haye and that his man will put the perfect plan into action this Saturday night. Zimin praised Haye's ability but he believes that the man from Bermondsey has his work cut out when taking on the 7’2 Valuev in Nuremberg.
“David Haye is a good boxer and he's an original. But he doesn't look like he's had too much education. He's got good speed, but he only uses certain combinations,” declared Zimin.
“When a cruiserweight spars with a heavyweight, they might make them look slow, but that does not mean that they will be slow in a real fight. David Haye is different. He's very speedy and he uses that. But we have prepared for that. He's a little bit the same as Evander Holyfield, but Holyfield had a good defence and Haye's chin is not as good.”
Holyfield took Valuev the distance in Berlin last December, many observers felt that Holyfield should have won the fight and Evander's performance is seen as the blueprint for a Haye win.
David vs. Goliath will be shown on Sky Box Office from 8pm on Saturday night.
