Klitschko: "I'll Punish Haye Slow, Then Knock Him Out"

[HeartAttack]

Agreed. And it's not just the Sanders fight that leads me to question Wlad's chin. The Williamson bout, the way he turn fragile when Brewster tapped his jaw a couple times, Sam Peter, etc.

Wlad has a less than stellar chin, but that fact thats its comepletely fragile is a myth. Much like Lewis' supposed china chin, he actually got up and could've continued against the bomb that landed by McCall, and Lewis took big shots from Vitali. Anyways back to point. Wlad's chin is easier to buzz than Lennox's, but Williamson was considered a monster puncher when he was an amatuer and everyone knows that his right hand has some pop to it, IF HE LANDS IT PROPERLY. Brewster's hooks have always carried solid power to them, and as for Sam Peter. Peter knocked him down ONCE legitmately. First time Wlad went down was a rabbit punch, the second time Wlad went down either from fear or fatigue, and the third was a nice shot as Wlad was heading into the ropes. Even though Wlad's 3 losses have all been stoppage losses, he wasn't put out cold in any of them and the Sanders stoppage loss was the worst of em. Haye has the power and speed to do the same to Wlad as Sanders did or even Williamson. But Haye will have to keep up good defense and be smart in there to come close to aaomplish the same as the other guys. It's a winnable fight for Haye, but if he can't keep that left hand up, he CAN"T win this fight. It's an intriguing affair where the unexpected can feasibly happen, and it's been a long time since that has been the case in a Klitschko fight.

rahman said that sanders hit him harder than anyone, except lewis, so sanders can punch.. he has a sneaky left hand thats quick and powerful... haye is not like that...

haye can punch, but thats pretty much the only shot he has, land the big punch and hope for the KO... and he has to do that without getting hit himself....

although both haye and wlad have shaky chins, wlad is lot harder to get to than haye... i think that is the big difference in the fight and the deciding factor...

Ahhhh Haye's getting into Wlad's head!!!

Rahman can't remember when Oleg put him out of the ring or when he almost did it a 2nd time years later in rd 12. Haye can punch and he will easily be the best athlete that Wlad has ever faced in the ring. Haye has more than power going for him. The best thing going for Wlad is Haye. David is so talented and enamoured with his own talent; that he completely sacrifices discipline. A severe lack of concentration on Haye's part can lead directly into the strengths of Kiltschko and that right hand. But the unpredictability of Haye can give Wlad fits and that lack of disclipine could be exactly how to attack this mature version of Wladimir. It's finally an intriguing fight in the heavyweight division.

Or Wlad is just saying that to give Haye the wrong idea of what is going to take place....

I see Wlad coming out and KTFOing Haye in 3...actually this is one of the few fights that I can see end in a Rd.1 KO.

No need to quote anyone.. The fight will be controlled by 3 corrupt judges & a Laural & Hardy referee.. It's being held in Germany where boxing integraty/honesty has been tampered with. Infact, it's redundant.. Haye wins anywhere but here EOS (End Of Story) Haye will have to send him into orbit to win here...

1) You have no idea who the ref or judges will be, they haven't been announced, and if they're international rather than German or Ukrainian (as they should be for a title fight) then your argument would become meaningless.

2) The refereeing hasn't been controversial in any of Wlad's fights. You're mixing Wlad up with Ottke.

3) It's unlikely to go to the scorecards, and unless it does, the judges will only be there to make up the numbers.

[$partacus]

I can't wait for this fight. The atmosphere in the stadium is going to be amazing.

if he plans on doing that he can only use the jab because a straight right would knock out haye
