The size difference is massive. haye looks atleast 30 pounds lighter if not more. I haye a feeling Haye will be outmatched when they fight. I hopes its a decent spectacle because this could bring some more fans to boxing and the HW division.Comment

haye isnt much shorter than wlad,and will easy land on wlad,simple as that.
Wlad has fought more 6'1 ish guys of late.
He hasnt ever fought anyone as fast ,powerful,agile and strong as Haye before,and wont be able to get sparring with anyone who has all those things combined.
Him fighting smaller heavier slower guys will hurt his ability to deal with hayes speed and movement.
Wlad doesnt come with much variation,he may try to be a little more aggresive,but its really not in his nature to be like that and itle only allow haye to counter and hurt wlad even quicker than wlad being his usual cautious tentative and methodical self.
Steward will tell wlad to do what he told lewis to do to tyson,simply for the first 3 rounds,just lean on haye,grab,hold,clinch,put all his weight on haye,and try to sap hayes energy,his speed,his power. Use uppercuts and left hook more if he can and feels comfortable.
Haye however will fully expect this,and be able to deal with these attempts by having the reflexes to time and slip these clinching atempts,or should wlad lean or clinch,haye will go mad with overhand punches on wlad and shuv wlad about on the inside.
Wlad will be punching downwards and trying to land on haye,but haye will be moving around even if only slight fients and slight turns to stop wlad being accurate with jabs and rights,stopping wlad setting his feet down,and stopping him landing as cleanly as he usualy does on a static leant on the ropes fat target,Haye will also constantly paw and punch/push the jab to iritate wlad and make him not set up right hands,unsettle him.
He will paw the jabs,then hit wlad with left jabs to the body,then slip to the right hand side to wlads left side and hit from those angles with big right hand,left hook combinations,then go under and away to the side out of range if wlad is still standing and there for the next attack of haye's.
he may even push wlad to go at a pace and style he doesnt like,that is to get wlad to chase him around the ring trying to hit haye who will be a very fast tricky constantly moving target,making wlad comit,miss shots and get countered,and make wlad run around a lot trying to close down haye and failing,getting flustered and getting anxious,wasting energy doing this.
Wlad is very strong,he is very powerful,his speed is good for his size,he throw punches very textbook and proper,he keeps his range well.
But he isnt a natural fighter,he doesnt like getting hit,he doesnt like to dig deep and go to war.He doesnt open up with as many combos as he doesnt like leavin himself exposed,he doesnt like to get carried way with throwing to much in such a short space of time.
he doesnt throw enough variation of punches,he works at an easy pace,his only defence is his reach and the grab/lean.
He doesnt like speed,he doesnt like people who move around a lot,he doesnt like pressure and a pace that makes him uncomfortable.
I do tbh expect vitali to come in last minute,but hes even slower and more hitable than wlad with arguably less power and worse skills,despite his fighter mentality that wlad can only wish to have.Comment

surely we should all know that size isnt everything now,Speed,that is the key!.rjj & pacman shown the way!.
Haye has a size and weight advantage,he is lighter and quicker,the speed he has over wlad with punching,footwork and reflexes,that is what is the winner for haye.
Wlad is overmatched for speed.
expect haye to come in very light for this fight and the speed difference be key in Haye stopping wlad.Comment
