Vitali Klitschko Thinks The Judges Will Rob David Haye
Collapse

I said this on a thread earlier in the week.
He can ill afford to labour if it goes the championship distance and must remain busy for that duration, not just winning it, but winning it big.
2 other concerns for Haye: 1) he's only been the championship distance once, 2) Valuev clubs his shots, downwards, I fear he could drop Haye a couple of times, however Haye has shown tremendous grit in the past to get through.

Firstly Vitali is somewhat of a unique person to comment as-well because he's very political and stood for Mayor in Kiev. He speaks out strongly against corruption there, at times quite controversially so, so these kinds of comments of speaking against corruption in his local places aren't abnormal at all.
Secondly, he's actually careful to point out he says this because it's promoted by Sauerland, and Don King whom he has big criticisms of.

I have been saying this from the start and David Haye knows this too. Haye must KO him. It will great for his legacy too.... When was the last time a small heavyweight KO'ed a big ugly monster? Dempsey- Willard maybe? Willard was only 6 inches taller than Dempsey though. I am sure there are some other fights. But no one has ever KO'ed someone A FOOT TALLER THAN HIM. I am sure Haye can KO him too. I really hope he does.

Haye needs to really be impressive to have any chance of winning this. If he doesn't get the ko I worry about his chin holding up for 12 rounds against this beast. Sooner or later he will get cracked with a good shot. I'm not sure that this will go to a decision either way.

That is basically what Jim Lampley said in his prediction for the fight, he says he expects Valuev to win since its in Germany.

It's been billed as "David vs. Goliath" type fight so people are probably expecting a KO (hell, most fans expect/want KOs in every fight). But can Haye KO this "monster"? Accumulation of punches is probably the key. Boxing 101, go to the body early, put that money in the bank...
Or maybe Haye will try to throw crazy "hayemakers" starting from low angles and try to rip his head off and try to get it over with early?
