Do you give Haye a reasonable shot at beating Wlad?

[Hitman932]

I give Haye a legitimate puncher's chance of winning. So that would be like I don't know, 2% chance or some shit?

2% is about right in my estimation.

It is boxing. Wlad cut be cut badly by a glancing blow where the stitches of the glove catch him in a strange way.

That is really Haye's best chance.

[SirTomJones]

Wlad to win is 4/7

Haye to win is 5/4

SkyBet.

Put the house on Wlad or you will regret not doing it for the rest of your life.

[Sparked_1985]

Haye's heavyweight style is all wrong. At Cruiser he would go on seek and destroy missions. Now he hangs back and waits for a big punch opportunity.

A couple of years ago I'd have said Haye jumps all over Wlad from the first bell and could really put the fight in the lap of the Gods. Now if he hangs back he's just going to be another one of those guys who gets their **** jabbed in, broken up, and knocked out.

I'd rather he went out in two rounds in a blaze of glory.

Even in his Cruiserweight days Haye was hesitant to put his foot on the gas against guys who really fought back.

He was on his back foot all night against Fragomeni. This is the same Fragomeni who was outboxed and beaten by the 170 lb chubby paper champ in my avatar.

Haye's shows a lot of flaws in this single round, if a person was too busy listening to the Brit commentators kissing his ass it might have gone unnoticed.




Compare and contrast Haye's lazy backpedaling style with the ring generalship displayed by Erdei here:

[PrinceNaz88]

Wlad will be favourite but Haye has potential to cause him a lot of problems.

Will be a great fight

Are you the same bloke who had $500 on a Maidana KO win over Khan?

If so, I don't think anyone should take betting advice from you..

[J.Dempsey]

I think Haye has a good chance ashe'll be alot faster on his feet than Wlad has seen before...but sheer size and range of the jab lessen's his chances...im still calling it 50/50 though...i'd love for haye to KO wlad, it would turn HW boxing on its head....and attract more attention to boxing...

[£-4-£]

He WILL land on Wlad's glass chin, and I honestly can't see Wlad surviving. Haye is very fast, strong, athletic and throws combos. Wlad will hit the deck and the fight will be stopped.

I like Wlad but Haye takes this fight, and the lineal crown.

[Joeyzagz]

30-40% And Im a huge fan of Haye.

Haye needs STRATEGY if he serious about beating Wlad.

Freddie Roach, Teddy Atlas, ****m Richardson. Someone to combat Steward.

[BrooklynBomber]

No, not really. Everything is going against him, his workrate is low, and so is his resistance. He also does not seem to be a very physically strong fighter. Now, as I see it, the fight will look somewhat like Abraham-Froch, but much shorter and more brutal. Haye will attempt a couple of sharp attacks, get knocked in between the teeth a few and will try to hang out on the outer line of offense where he will be bothered more by jabs rather then rights or hooks.
He will try that for a few rounds before realizing that he just does not have it, and will quit mentally where he will be fresh for the taking by Klitschko. I see him either get dropped after an unsuccesful attacks and roll back maneuvre, or Wlad just hiding a big right hand in when Haye attacks over Wlad's pawing left.
