Lol If Wlad manages to get all those jabs then by the time Haye tries to throw a right hand he'll be dead.
Now to answer the question. I do believe that Wlad is going to land is jab all night long. Wlad is not Valuev, Valuev was extremely slow and not skilled at all, while even though Wlad is not fast, he's way faster than Valuev and has a very accurate left hand.
I think that the first rounds are going to be Wlad throwing and landing his jab while Haye moves around the ring like he did against Valuev. However Haye is going to realize that Wlad hits harder than Valuev and that he actually is able to move around the ring too.
In the next rounds Haye is going to be a little more desperate and is going to try to land the occassional 1-2 combination to try to KO Wlad, however Haye's reach is going to be a problem so he's not going to be able to throw his hands with the power he's trying to.
Around round 8 or 9 Haye is going to be tired from running around the ring and because of Wlad's powerful jab and he's going to be caught by one of those powerful right hands and is going to be KOd.
Now about the main "questions" of the fight.
Is Wlad going to be able to hold on against Haye powerful punches?
I think so, Haye is a strong opponent but he actually hasn't showed anything in the HW division. From his past 4 opponents, 3 were over 37 years old and the other one was Valuev who was a pretty poor boxer who avoided Wlad and Vitali for years. Haye has a lot of KOs in the CW division but HW is not the same and at least from what I've seen he hasn't showed that he has the power to KO top heavyweights.
Wlad has fought against powerful punchers such as Samuel Peter, Chagaev, Ibragimov and some others, and has proved that has a better chin and that he's able to stand some hard puches.
Is Wlad going to be able to handle Haye's speed?
I also think so, Haye is fast but he's not extremely fast so that Wlad is not able to see his shots. Wlad has defeated fast boxers such as Chambers and Byrd, even when people said "he's not going to be able to handle the speed". What is actually more important than speed is to be able to hit your opponent. Haye is fast, but being fast is not helpful at all if he doesn't get close to Wladimir to land his punches. At the time he gets into Wlad's range to throw some hard fast punches he's going to be vulnerable and Wlad can exploit that.
Now some points that most people are not aware of.
Haye hasn't proved that he's able to take punches from strong boxers. His last fights as I said were against old, extremely slow and not so powerful anymore boxers. Valuev is strong, but being extremely slow meant that he couldn't actually land shots on Haye. Let's see how good is actually Haye's chin.
Footwork. Haye has been able to move all around the ring in his previous fights because of the opposition that he had. Slow fighters with almost no footwork at all. Wlad has great footwork. Some people say that he's stiff and doesn't has the mobility that other boxers have, but he's actually pretty good when using his feet. He actually seems like a fighter with no mobility because he doesn't need to move a lot to close the ring to his rivals. By just moving a little to the left or to the right he confuses his opponent and reduces their space. Haye should be aware of this.
Again that's only my opinion, it's a HW fight with two of the best so anything can happen.
