Klitschko vs Haye 2

[FrankieBruno]

It was interesting mostly because of the hype, which is blown now and won't be there in a rematch.

Vitali versus Briggs had more suspense if only because you wondered if Vitali was going to literally KILL Briggs in the ring.

Tony Thompson got knocked out, but fought a FAR BETTER and more aggressive fight against Wlad, and won some early rounds. Does Tony deserve a rematch???

nobody but 5 people watched those other fights

this was wlads biggest fight

vitalis biggest fight was against lennox

either way vitali vs haye or wlad vs haye 2 will make more profit and viewing than any other fight thats out there...

Vitali vs Briggs actually did very well on television.

There's another fight that would make both fighters a mint:

Wladimir vs Valuev.

That would be huge in Europe, something they could do in Moscow or Kiev in a stadium. Although I know Vitali wants that fight badly and maybe Wlad doesn't want to take another fight away from his brother.

There's no reason for a rematch. Both fighters can move on to different things now.

My view on the fight...

- Fight wasn't as boring as most people are making out

- Fight was more fast paced then most of the Heavyweight fights in recent times. Name me another recent Heavyweight fight where you seen speed, agility and both the fighters in excellent shape?

- Klitschko got Haye on the back foot from the start and from then on Haye was unable to establish the front foot in the fight.

- Haye should have charged at Klitschko from the get go to unsettle him to stand any chance of beating him.

- And Haye didn'd do to badly compared to the other fighters Klitschko has fought recently. It's just because of his trash talk in the build up that people are giving him a lot of stick.


I don't see any problem with Haye vs Klitschko 2. I mean who else is going to give Wladimir a better fight? Maybe this time Haye will have learnt and go all out?

I still don't see Klitschko making as much money vs any other Heavyweight.

Thoughts?

I agree that in money terms there aren't any fights that will make Wlad as much money, But in boxing terms, Like I always say, Wlad just took away everything Haye had to offer by staying outside, and to stop him getting near him, he pumped the jab constantly, even when it wasn't hitting, David could not get close because Wlad was keeping the jab pumping so that when david moved in, and we saw this a few times, he was just moving his head into the jab, Which made him off balance, so that when he through his big punches, they looked crude and rarely landed flush. This is why Wlad is so effective, basically he is tall and big, but isn't slow, and will just pump that jab all night. So in Boxing Terms whats the point of David Haye fighting him again? It will be the same thing all over again, Haye will talk himself up saying he is going for the knockout early, like he does in all fights pretty much, then he will fight on the back foot, get jabbed a few times, avoid aload of punches, and land about 2 or 3 big punches, and the fight will be just as one sided, if not more one sided, because after that Wlad will be even more confident and won't be as cautious as he was early, and will maybe throw the right straight earlier on. I'd also like to point out that although, yes David took a big punch, he did manage to take some of the sting out of it by moving his head the same way as the punch, I think that If Wlad hits that punch full flush, David goes down, But thats unlikely to happen anyway because of Davids Speed.

So in fighting terms, Wlad should fight someone Like Povetkin, maybe even Helenius, because they pose more of a threat to Wlad than Haye IMO, But if he wants another huge payday, and a fight that he will believe he can win comfortably, he should opt to fight David Haye.

[Uturn]

Haye had his chance really. He said Wlad would be buried after he finish brutally knocking him out.

I still think Haye is probably the 3rd best heavyweight out there.

I agree, And dosen't that just make you feel pretty crap, the best heavyweight contender vs the world champ, was so one sided that David Haye only won 2 rounds on the the best judges scorecard, and I think 1 of those rounds was cause of A point deduction
