that was a great read. Booth is easily the most astute man in British boxing.

excellent,loved it,lauging my arse of at the dark lord things,love it that booth gets down with what we all like to do,and that is browse boxing forums and giving ourselves some time passing entertainment.

Booth is a realist,thats why i had full confidence that groves could win,ide knew he had weaknesses,but i was sure hede be aware of them and will improved them.

now booth has wlad to deal with,and he will with haye only lookin at wlads good fights,watch what he does well,and take the plan from that,not from old fights and old mistakes,or percieved weaknesses that arent as weak as people say.

I hope haye does have the right mix of sparring partner to replicate klitschkos and he stays focused before and during the fight,if he does that he can win.

Haye will not understimate wlads power,and plans to not get hit,by being lightest and fastest heavyweight he can possibly be.From using movement,feints,head movement.

Ide hope Haye would improve his balance,footwork and defence some too.

His combinations need to be exact and sharply timed.

Haye's gota not understimate wlads footwork,and control of distance/timing.
Also his speed,that is under rated,for such a big heavy boxer,hes fast.

wlad getting the jab off or not will be key,and haye staying away from the right aswell ,being able to attack,but from angles,and get out of range,in range-attack-and back out really quick,till wlad is hurt and there for the taking.

Wonder if wlad and steward rate haye highly or not,if they understimate hayes speed,strength and power,they will be in trouble.

I think wlad will try do a lewis to tyson,just lean and try hold to sap hayes movement,energy/speed,then only jab for ages,then try rights and uppercuts.

i do think haye's tactics and style will win him the fight.

wlads hold and lean will be beat by haye's speed,timing,strength.wlad cant deal with movement speed and power combined.

pressure on him might make him get tense/nervous and lose energy quickly,and fighting at a higher pace might make him tired quick,if he is forced to try move and hit,hes less accurate,if he has to be made to trade he wont like it.He wont punch more than normal as he will to cautious to be open to attack.

Great interview, Booth talks a lot of sense.
