Now we're talking. He's a good sparring partner, maybe not so strong as Haye but he has good boxing skills. I'm pretty sure Wlad would benefit from his experience.

cool...my 2 fav big dudes are sparring each other ....Haye is in trouble because IMO Steve is far more athletic than Haye...USS is one of those athetes he could've been good at any sport...basketball, football,...dude is the model athlete imo....always in shape...he might not pack the punch Haye does but the movement and lil slick stuff should be of good use to Team Wlad.....good look Manny Stew

Good sparring partner for sure.

steve's a boxer.... he uses his jab like its going out of style.... he's a horrible style matchup for david haye.....

hayes style is like froch with speed and without the chin.

really?

he's not more athletic than david haye.... he may well be one of the only guys in the sport with a better physique, but he's not more explosive.

steve's jab all day.... he's not andre dirrell.... he's a conventional boxer.... nothing more, nothing less.

He doesnt fight very much like Haye imo

[Rosseboi]

Great sparring partner. Quick and Haye's size to boot which will put Wlad in good stead for the fight.

yes he doesn't fight like Haye but he's just as quick and can 'emulate' Haye's run & counter style because that's the only way Haye wins this fight.

Agreed, he's one of the more underrated fighters in the sport today and it's sad he doesn't get more love from networks out here, regardless of whether he fights overseas or in the states. I guess being signed to Sauerland doesn't help, either, ha! I actually think he does have a little pop in his punch, there's a reason Adamek decided not to go for that rematch. Good to see something on USS, though.

Good choice. Yeah, he doesn't fight like Haye but then who does? At HW and CW there's simply nobody embodying the RJJ style.
