Comments Thread For: Booth: Haye's Style is All Wrong For Wladimir Klitschko

[Daddy T]

if we were talking about the wlad of a few years ago say back before the brock fight it would be a no brainer for me - haye would be a nightmare for the guy and spark him, but since stewart has gotten a good grip on him wlad has been getting better and better i reckon its 55/45 for haye and given the odds which are more like 70/30 wlad haye is definately DEFINATELY worth a bet.

I do believe Hayes style is all wrong for Wlad but not convinced Haye will be able to avoid Wlads one-two

Who is saying Wlad avoids people?

Well, the guy who said that Wlad takes on the boxers whilst Vitali takes on the punchers seemed to be implying that. Not sure if that's what he meant though.

As far as I can see Booth and the rest of the people on here and merely stating that Haye possesses a different style to anyone he's fought before. Haye has fought people with a similar style to Wlad's before, but Wlad is much more effective and clinical and simply a better fighter than anyone Haye has faced.

Wlad is clinical, yes, but one of the biggest mistakes people make about him is to think he's robotic and predictable. Wlad has a small number of punches and tactics which he uses religiously, but the ways in which he uses them are extremely difficult to figure out. It's not like he just throws out his jab willy nilly, Paul Williams style. There's real craft and timing behind it. He varies the speed on it, feints with it, uses it to mask other punches, or simply uses it to drill straight through an opponent's defences. If he was that predictable someone would have figured him out in the six years since his last loss.

I honestly can't think of any opponent that Haye has fought that's much like Wlad in style or (obviously) skill level. Has Haye fought stiff upright Eastern Euros with a height advantage before? Sure. But he's in for a rude awakening if he thinks Wlad is remotely like those guys.

well any klit fan that thinks this is just another bum really need to check haye out. He IS all wrong for wlad i rememember herbie hide though, a really light footed hard hitting guy who on the face of things you would say is all wrong for the klilts but he was so small with such a **** chin that vitali put him to sleep with the crapiest KO punch i've ever seen. That said Haye is no Hide and I believe it will take a proper connection to do for him (not a bollox hide finishing shot) and tbh I see haye getting the proper connection on wlad before wlad gets it on him. i obviously wouldn't be shocked if it went the other way but i think haye can do it.

Much has been made of the recent mind games employed by world heavyweight champions David Haye and Wladimir Klitschko eight weeks out from their world title unification blockbuster on July 2, but the Londoner's trainer, Adam Booth, insists his man won't be swayed by anything that goes on before the pair touch gloves.

Really don't understand what booths is saying. As they try to say good thing about him and then they say bad things. Yea he head strong. He style is wrong for wlad. That good it's unpredictable and haye style can get inside of wlad jab in 2 punches, ko power perfect.then he say enjoy him while he here for what he going to do. So you mean he going to upset the champ? See what I mean. He might favor haye but can't say it loud .

[shawn12]

O-yea this the upset fight that continue the year of upsets.manny was still good enough even as h peak one week too early ,haye ko wlad. Watch Wlad hasn't seen a fighter inside from bird fight.if only bird had a ko .punch

[shade darkar]

personally im not to keen on booth. i think haye would be much better of with a world class trainer like freddy. iv not been impressed by hayes heavyweight run so far, but all this is irrelevant if he can beat wlad. can he beat wlad? certainly. can wlad beat haye? certainly. this is a 50/50 fight in my opinion.

[shade darkar]

id also like to point out that haye looks a bit neurotic at these press conferences, refusing to go on ringside because wlad is there is a bit of a weak move imo. he didnt refuse to go on ringside when he was fighting fraudly did he!!!!! you didnt see groves refuse to go on because degale was there aswell did we!

wlad came across as "totally awesome dude" as a yank would say! he was also quite funny, i was chuckling at him taking the piss out of haye! shake my magic hand!!! lol, "david, can you hear me!" hahahhahaha.

looks like haye is nervous, and wlad is in his comfort zone from what i have seen so far.

lets hope the fight is better than the hype.

[STRUGG]

if he can neutralize wlads jab..........................given wlads chin..............i definitelt think he can pull it off.......................the longer the fight goes.....the better it is for wlad.................
