Comments Thread For: Klitschko Disagrees With Steward: Wants Late KO Win

[Hayehammer]

This is just tactics! whoever believes wlad will play with haye for 11 rounds is a fool! Not gonna happen! if wlad sees one chance he will use it and finish the fight!

[Pullcounter]

awwwwwww ****... wlad is gonna make it a boring as fight. he's not gonna throw any punch except the jab for 11 rounds.

if he honestly extends the fight in that manner (breaking him down the the point where he's ready to go, and then letting him off the hook only to actually continue punishing him,) he's a sick mother****er


haye's life will never be the same if he goes 12 rounds with wladimir before getting knocked out. that's not a fate you wish on any man. david haye is not eddie chambers or kevin johnson, who either began the fight without any intention of winning, or in chambers case, got the slick knocked out of him. haye's a power puncher. his only real chance not only to win or even survive is dependent on punching power.
i don't think he's got the size to do what johnson did, or the experience fighting real heavyweights with power that chambers had

if he wants to win, or even keep wladimir from blowing his doors off after 6 rounds of getting jabbed in the face, haye's going to have to throw bombs and take risks. they're really all he's got with his style at HW

i don't think there's an iceberg's chance in hell that this fight goes 12
and if it does, how does haye win a fight throwing so few punches per round against a man with an active jab that at the least will score pts, and is more likely to break you down?
haye's going to win rounds on damage, if he's even trying to win them



either wlad breaks him down and scores a mid-late round stoppage (say 7-9)
or he makes a mistake and haye actually throws a punch or two to make him pay for it
and follows up and can finish him off


smart money is on a wladimir stoppage whenever he gets the opportunity
i'm thinking it will be around round 8


the more i think about this fight, and the closer it gets, the more of a beating i think haye's going to take
i hope he proves me wrong and makes a great fight out of it, but i think it's going to be business as usual for a wladimir fight

Steward had much the same problem with LL vs Tyson . He wanted him to finish him and not take a chance on MT landing a lucky bomb. I think Wladi " THE IMPALER " will probaly put him on his butt a few times early . Haye is just not going to be able to stand up to the power of K . You might well see Haye go down and just not get up because he's tired of the abuse . I think K wants to teach the loud mouth a little respect . After Haye recovers from the beating he retires or fights Arreola .

I doubt anybody believes Wladimir could actually KO Haye early anyway, as his style is suited over the latter half and generally breaks his opponents down by the 7'th. Wladimir fights far to cautious so I'd be astonished to see an early stoppage in favor of Wladimir.

This could go the distance with a lop sided UD decision with some rounds hard to score due to the lack of action.

Wladimir by stoppage or retirement after round 10, or a boring decision.
Haye by TKO/KO inside 4 rounds.

I suspect this forum is filled with people that believe exactly that. I'm one of em.
