I've never been more pumped for a heavyweight fight...

[Ryn0]

Haye is the best **** talker in boxing.

Man knows how to hype a fight

[Spray_resistant]

So much for them boycotting Klitschko fights

Its more a boycott of their opponents, Haye gets ppl interested with his talk and the potential of the upset because of his power and speed so no doubt they jumped on it.

[intoccabile]

When Haye said "oh its gonna be a great fight blah blah" he said it because he wanted to change the mood....Wlad made it as dark as the room. Haye smiling and ****...he felt Wlads vibe...we all did..lol

EXACTLY.

He couldn't take that moment, he had to switch it up.

[Rick Grimes]

That face off shook Wlad so much that he changed his whole approach to the pressers etc with the gay "shake my hand" BS. Wlad is getting KO'd July 2nd.

[BeenDownB4]

I am ready for this fight. I hope it is as good as advertised. Im pulling for Haye hope he brings his A game and find away to make Wlad as uncomfortable as possible and land some bombs on him.

[$Bullsfam$]

Oh you know I am rooting for Wlad too so he can shut this loudmouth up who has made us wait 3 years for this.

How much of a chance do you give Haye?

I think his best bet is to take a chance early and not let Wlad get into that usual fight he imposes on everyone. He needs to make Wlad back straight up and land one of those Hayemakers to hurt him early otherwise Wlad will have neough time to get a sense of Haye's timing and range for the jab jab grab until Haye is softened up enough to be stopped late.

Thats exactly what I think! I don't think it's as much as Wlad's chin that fails him but more of his heart. Like you said he like's that slow really technical fight pace because he can use his size and reach. I feel if you can make it a fast pace fight while hitting him with bombs he tends to fade.

I give Haye like a 30% chance because his style actually is a complete MISMATCH for Haye because he likes to circle alot, not be real aggressive not a pressure fighter at all, kinda like a Heavyweight Jean Pascal. Wlad is so much bigger and his jab will win him rounds alone if Haye don't come at him real quick with bombs. I don't think he's that much faster then Eddie Chambers really and even if he does rush him I feel like Wlad's 100% guranteed path to success starts with that right hand, don't just jab and clinch but jab, jab, straight, clinch. Don't think Haye can handle his punch so if he does bum rush him I think he's running into a devastating right hand before he could even come close to KOing Klitschko.

Totally disagree...he could see Wlad was seething and so he was digging in deeper. He was mocking Wlad. When he said 'great fight' with a smirk, he was saying to Wlad that he was going to bust his grill.

We'll see if he can.

For now, at least on the showbiz side, it's coming off as Haye comfortable and Klit acting out of character.

I think the opposite, I think Hayes style is good for fighting Wlad he stays outside of the range of the jab and jumps in and out quickly. Instead of staying in range of the jab trying to block it.

Infact the reason I see it as 50/50 is because of Hayes chin, Wlad is a very hard puncher and so much bigger than Haye but Haye is the biggest risk (outside of Vitali who will never fight Wlad) for Wlad, could be wrong though! Almost a certain KO though

Thats the thing though, I don't think any range is safe too stay at against Klitschko just because like I said I think pressure hurts Klitschko more then anything. I think any methodical fight automatically favors Wlad but I mean if Wlad just does the same old jab jab, clinch routine I think Haye's chances increases but again think the right hand is Wlad's money punch in this fight.

I'm just happy I'm exciting for a heavyweight fight like this. Totally agree with everybody saying Haye is the best ***** talker in boxing. Even better then Floyd. He hasn't beat really anybody significant to have a Klitschko chasing him like this. Floyd can talk ***** since he has a claim to be the best.

But at the end of the day I see it like this, Wlad's power > Hayes power, Wlad's chin > Haye's chin. Haven't seen Haye put a man to sleep with one punch at heavyweight. They were all combinations.

[Jimbo16031992]

Isn't it funny that all the press conferences etc have been since this was recorded and Wlad told Haye 'if I were you I would shut up', and Haye has!

It was a great Face-off though, I'm picking Wlad in the 9th
