... as a fellow Brit, I'm cringing at these "Haye can do what he wants" type posts.
Even if Haye DOES win, then this ain't gonna be a walkover.
I'm reading now that Haye is a harder puncher than Wlad from some posters. The guy's a blown up cruiser who took about eight shots to TKO Audley Harrison. I know it's nice to pretend he's a one shot KO artist, but he isn't. Sure, he can crack, but he ain't gonna get Wlad's (underrated) chin out of there with one shot.
If Wlad wasn't allowed to get away with that appalling holding he does when an opponent's inside (and it's in Germany, so he will be) then I'd give Haye 10% chance more than I do now.
I give the kid a shot, but make Wlad the favourite here. I want to be proved wrong, but this ain't no walkover, and Haye will rightly be the underdog here.
