David Haye will get crushed by Klitschko

[Brother Blues]

As much as the Klitoris brothers need an ass-whipping....Haye ain't the one to do it.

Hi guys , its my first thread here ... Anyway i just have this feeling that David Haye will receive a brutal beating by Wlad and that the fight is not gonna go past the 5th round. Does anyone think like me??

(I'm french canadian , sorry if my english seems weird)

Welcome to boxingscene!

I agree 100% - Wlad will KO Haye in the first five rounds.

Like the second poster said, nobody really cares because everyone knows Wlad is going to win this. There are just some that are hoping that Haye knocks him out but realize its most likely not going to happen.

There is some interest though, because Haye has speed and power and therefore has a real punchers' chance.

I'd say there's a 85% chance that Wlad will KO Haye in the first five rounds. But having seen Haye's fights, he definitely has the punching power to give him a 15% chance of winning.

Wlad doesn't really have a bad chin, but he doesn't have a great chin either, unlike Vitali. Haye would have 0% chance against Vitali, but he has a punchers' chance against Wlad.

If Haye wants a good strategy for beating Wlad he should watch the Benn vs McClellan fight. Keep his head low to the point of crouching. Wlad's straight right (his bread-and-butter punch) becomes less effective.

The obvious counter to that tactic is the uppercut - but Wlad is loathe to use it because a) he doesn't have the greatest and b) he'd have to open his (usually clamped shut) defences (which he CERTAINLY doesn't like doing).

Either way Haye buys himself time to deliver one of his bombs or gets the opportunity to counter the uppercut.

It's a tough ask. Wlad is the favourite. But good tactics can and do overcome limitations.

Very insightful. Nice one.

I heard steward talking about this fight on tv before the Pac/Hatton fight and when asked what he thought of Haye he seemed shook. He admitted that Haye would be the most difficult fighter that Wlad has faced in a long time because of his speed and power.
