Can't wait.

I think there are going to be a lot of hurt ego's come 2nd of July in regard to Wlad fans.

I am no way near a Haye fan but the guy is a lot better boxer then Wlad. How many times has Wlad been down now 15 or so? That is a lot. If he was around in the Tyson/Lewis era he would of been retired long ago. The division is so weak and the guy's he has chosen to fight make him look a lot better then he really is.
Haye is not amazing. He is not one of the best heavyweights of all time. But he is more like what they used to be. Guy's who were allround fighters. Rather then fat, slow guys looking for one punch.
Wlad's strength is his jab, but beyond that he has nothing. At some point he is going to get tagged by Haye and i can see him crumbling after that. When he is up against it and taking punches he doesn't know what to do. Look at Chambers and Sanders fights and see how he is when he get's hit. He becomes open and can't recover. If you got a guy like Haye who has very fast speed and a brutal right hand having free shots at your head you are going to go down.

I can see Haye coming out and being very defensive, like Mayweather, on the back foot and looking for counters. Taking points by avoiding being hit and frustrating the other guy. The more that goes on the more i think Wlad will start to get annoyed and lose his cool. Start to become more open and a lot slower. At that point i see Haye taking him out. We have seen it so many times in the past with power vs speed matches.

As far as i am concerned when the fight is over and "if" Haye wins then the Klitchsko fans will have to eat a lot of humble pie. Haye has sacrificed a lot to take this fight, it was all Wlad. Fight in his technical home country with 40000 supporters vs 10000 for Haye, Coming to the ring 2nd, chosing the corner, chosing the gloves, chosing the hotels, 50-50 split even though Haye brings a **** load more money to it then him, being billed as the main guy in the promoting/advertising, chosing the referee, have his own doctor at ringside etc etc. If those demands were the other way around then the fight would not happen. So respect to Haye for agreeing to them.

If he beats Wlad then there will be no excuses.

I see Haye taking him out in round 8 or 9. This won't go the distance that is for sure!

[hayekoklitschko]

people underestimate wlads speed

[titanium]

I'm just cool, not as excited as alot of you guys. Hope it's a good fight and not another Tyson-Spinks.

Can't wait. It's gonna be weird watching a legit heavy weight bout, it's been a LONNNNNGGGGG time......

When was the last time 2 hard punchers at real heavyweight (200x2) in their primes had a unification bout before Wlad came along?

Never:
