Wlad/Haye - My prediction and analysis

[GranTorino]

Here you go guys. I recorded this initially when they announced it the first time a year or so ago, but it's as pertinent now as it was then. And as always, feedback is welcome.

If you compare the resumes of the two guys it seems like a mismatch... wlad has dominated and ko d much better and harder hitting opponents than haye has faced.... and i like haye but what hes saying about wlad has only beat bums is ridiculous and to anyone who follows heavyweight boxing its making him look real ******

You're absolutely right. Anyone who's a fan of the HW division can see that Haye's attempts to hype the fight and get under Wlad's skin is having the opposite effect. I think it just makes him look even more unnerved and less confident.

Some facts to consider:

Haye:

- All of Haye's KOs have come over people that have been KOed before (except Fragomeni)

- Every single Haye opponent has been older than himself, all except Maccarinelli SIGNIFICANTLY older

- Haye's 4 HW opponents since moving up have been age 37, 36, 38 and 39.

Wlad:

- At least 15 of Wlad's KOs have come over people that had NEVER been KOed before (Brock, Shufford, Brewster, Shultz, etc) many of those (Chagaev, Thompson, Chambers, etc) had never even been down before

- Wlad has fought EVERYBODY since 1998, all sizes and all ages, no cherry-picking.

- Wlad's past 3 opponents have all been YOUNGER than himself (Chagaev 30, Chambers 27 and Peter 30).

That being said, Haye has punching power and will be dangerous EARLY in the fight.

Those are fantastic points, Freedom. I wish I'd had the forethought to put those up in the vid!

I'll go ahead and bump this up one time.
