David Haye has never fought in front of a really big crowd before

[The Hammer]

I don't think there is any question that Adam Booth plans to save Haye and create a face saving ending for his fighter.

Afterward Haye can claim to be disappointed and cry for a rematch yet be saved from a humiliating and brutal beating.

Booth's first strategy of course is to have Haye go after the side and back of Wlad's head with rabbit punches as Sam Peter did and as Haye did repeatedly against John Ruiz.

That will fail.

Instead Haye will be hurt and Booth will employ phase #2, throw in the towel, enter the ring and save Haye.

Haye can then act more pissed off than usual and scream about how he was about to win the fight and demand a rematch.

David Haye is not the big draw he says he is.

He's never fought in front of a huge crowd before, while Wlad has many times.

There's going to be a crowd of 57,000 at Saturday's fight. Will Haye be overwhelmed by it and freeze up?

Do you think he will be scared of the crowd?

[The Hammer]

Do you think he will be scared of the crowd?

A combination of that, of Wlad, and of the magnitude of the event.

When he feels Wlad punches, reality will set in. I think he'll feel very out of place.

Booth has experience at throwing in the towel before 'his guy' can be finished off, see Thompson.


Obviously doesn't want to see loverboy get pounded on by anyone but him.

German crowds on the whole arent the most intimidating.....

All the noise will be coming from the Brits.

[VERILY]

Doesn't take anything away from the fact that Haye is the finest competition Wlad has faced.

And thats what Manny Steward says....

Chris Byrd was a better fighter than Haye. There are other arguably better fighers on Wlad's record, too.



Haye says he's the best Wlad will have fought, but he hasn't proven it yet.

It's so gay this fight is in germany. It should be in neutral ground like montreal

Germany IS neutral ground.

Ukraine or the UK would not be neutral ground.

[Forza]

Either way it won't matter because haye is gonna lose

[Uturn]

The crowd will have no bearing on the fight. Haye loves the spotlight anyway.

He might freeze once Wlad hits him though.
