How will Wladimir Klitschko -vs- David Haye play out??

[DrewWoodside]

How does everyone think this fight will play out? For many, conventional wisdom suggests Wlad will sit behind a stiff jab all night picking Haye apart and eventually stopping him late as punishment builds up. However, this is based on how we've seen Wlad with his previous opponents.

Haye definitely brings a unique set of skills and ability we haven't seen Klit have to deal with in recent memory. Will Wlad be able to regularly land his jab? Will Haye's movement be a problem? Can Haye's chin take a flush power punch? Can Klitschko just open up and run Haye over?

Not sure who wins this fight, but I'd be somewhat surprised if this fight plays out like every other recent Klitschko opponent. What does everyone think will happen? What will be the deciding factors in this fight?

Wlad won't throw anything put a right-hand until round 8 at the earliest.


So on one hand you'll have a man avoiding engaging altogether entirely for the most part in Haye - jumping in occasionally, and another who is only throwing his bread and butter punch for fear of becoming too disorganized and open.

It's going to be like Haye/Valuev. Same thing just different result. With Wlad finally hurting him with something and taking him out.

Probably the worst fight ever. Let's be honest.

With Haye convulsing on the canvas after Wlad detonates a right hand on that chinny chin chin of his.

As for the actual fight itself, both will be cagey early on, with Wlad racking up rounds with his jab (if Ruiz can find Haye with his jab, Wlad will think it's Christmas come early with the success he'll have with his)

Haye will start getting more desperate in the middle rounds, giving Wlad a better opportunity to land harder, meaningful punches.

Around mid to late Haye will be hit with a HUGE right hand (after being punished with the jab), and Wlad will KO him.

That's just my opinion.

I'd prefer Haye to get absolutely starched in the 1st.

Wlad will bounce Haye like a basketball, swat him like a fly when he's done? :smileysex

[prinzemanspopa]

Haye lacks both the footwork and head movement to evade Wlad's shots.As already noted,he's going to stay on the outside,holding that left down to his side - occasionaly pawing it out - and trying to figure out openings to land that right hand.Unfortunately for him,Wlad's not going to give him any,and he's going to find himself on the end of a long,hard,stiff jab.And this particular jab will land with great accuracy and consistency,and it's effect will have Haye begging to be put out of his misery until Wlad finally decides that he's made his point and decided to start dropping the right hand.




Providing Haye's questionable chin is able to absorb the sustained damage(which I really doubt that it will),this fight will last as long as Wladimir wants it to last.When he says he want's to give Haye a long,delayad beating before putting his lights out,I believe him.He's a man of his word and he's been waiting two years to get his hands on Haye.He's going to savour every punch that he lands,and every gruelling,punishing round that Haye is forced to absorb.We may even see a corner retirement from Haye's team to avoid the inevitable knockout.




Putting it bluntly: Haye is already dead.

[King Jaffe Joffer]

This is gonna be a snoozer.
Haye will stay out of range of Wlads jab
Wlad will get frustrated
A lot of nothing happening the first half of the fight..
Haye take a lot of risk
A lot of booing..

I have a feeling this will be a disaster


Im basing this off of how Haye fought Valuev, so if he fought like that vs the Russian, you better believe he wont engage with Wlad until Wlad shows signs of fatigue.. Haye better be well conditioned and thats an understatement

[chiguy91]

it's the biggest fight in HW that can be made, but for some reason, i think it might be a snoozefest, well at least in the beginning. both of them won't engage in the beginning, but i think once either of them lands something clean, it'll turn into an exciting fight. that or one just gets caught and completely crumbles. i just hope the fight is exciting/entertaining to watch. the obvious choice of how this fight will play out though, is wlad coasting to a decision. hopefully their hatred for each other can make it exciting

No one thinks there is any chance Haye will try to land something big in 1-6. At least as a point of rattling wlad's cage and gaining his respect. I think it would be smart to concede the early rounds however land 1 or 2 meaningful punches to make Wlad weary of the punch. At which point later in the fight when he's already a little nervy regarding Haye's power, throw caution to the wind and go for the knockout.

It will be very difficult to win without Haye at some point going kamikazee for it. Worst case scenario is he fights the entire fight Valuev style with the intention of surviving and claiming he had a right to a points victory.

wlad will be very defensive as always, throwing his jab, he wont lad much at all, haye will land the best shots and then get out of the way, eventually he will knock wlad out pretty easily
