I have not really been too sure how to call this one, but have always figured it will be Wlad stopping Haye one way or another. I am going to go for Wlad in a surprising 4 round shootout with both fighters on the floor or hurt.
Going to the bookies after lunch to check the odds and get a score down on that result.
I guess its more hope than anything as I am throwing a massive shindig and dont want to see a boring fight! lol
Seriously though, we all gotta see this fight somehow and this is how I see it.
Props to both fighters for finally giving us the fight we wanted to see!:boxing:
Haye tastes Wlad's power and stays the f-k away from him picking his shots in fear of getting KO'ed. Turns into an Ibragimov fight to a boring win by Wlad...
Later Haye says that this was because his hand got injured and he couldn't land his (left or right.. whichever hand is hurt) and continues to trash talk that he had a close decision with a so called "champion" fighting with one hand... "peeleft:
Was I right or was I right? :clap:
I'm sitting in with my dad and a dozen or so friends for this one. We have a few crates of beer, a full drinks cabinet, and my mums preparing the snacks :)
Not watched boxing with my dad since Khan - Kotelnik, so I'm looking forward to it. I don't know if we'll be able to drag him out into town to celebrate if Haye wins though.
Whoever wins, I'm going out and getting steaming!
I'm also taking my son to his annual boxing awards presentation, so boxing heaven for me today!
That's Haye's best bet... that is to pull a Corrie Sanders. Only difference is Wlad was absolutely not ready for Sanders and got clocked by a total surprise. No one can say that Wlad is not ready for this fight and whatever Haye has to bring.
The best man will win!
I think this will be Wlads defining fight, and should he win(which I fully expect) I hope he gets the universal acclaim he deserves, not just for the victory on the night, but for a job magnificently well done over the duration of his long career!
I think he'll switch to southpaw often throughout the early rounds and try to land something big. But I don't think he will. I think Wlad takes it by a 9th or 10th stoppage.

Thats what I thought originally, but I am hoping that fortune favours the brave.
Agreed, I'm rooting for Haye completely. If that's the plan he brings, then even if he doesn't pull it off, I'll have much praise for him bringing the fight to Wlad.

A lot of people are going to be surprised (and a lot poorer) when they see this fight go the distance tonight. Odds of 3.85 for the fight to go 12 rounds are very generous.
You could be right mate, but I can afford to lose the twenty....and my lucks gotta change sometime! :lol1:

If he tries to get on his bike and last out the rounds he is gonna be in trouble as Wlad is pretty good at cutting the ring off. His only chance is to try and blaze him out early, imo.

Good post.
A man expressing his opinion without needing to denigrate the career of either fighter. Haters should learn from posts like these.
