I really want Haye to win.

But I've convinced myself Valuev will knock him out in the late-rounds.

Haye has just never showed good enough stamina against cruiserweights never mind superheavyweights, he was dog-tired against Fragomeni never mind Carl Thompson. He looked shattered after KOing Barrett. And now he has to show his most improved showing stamina-wise against a man who will be using his 100-pound weight advantage whenever he can and leaning all over him from the very first bell. This is even without the question marks over Haye's chin which Haye himself acknowledges, Haye despite all the bluster is a supremely honest guy, he said Monte Barrett's jabs were like straight rights from cruiserweights.

I'm rooting for Haye, but I'm pretty convinced he is going to get knocked out. He just hasn't showed up until now that World-class stamina that is needed especially against a 320 pound man who rather perversely as has been said is a strong 12-round fighter, unlike Haye.

Valuev isn't great but this is his fight to lose, if he is clever.
