Almost fell asleep during the German one.....

C'mon Haye!

by Scottrf Thu 16 Jun 2011, 4:51 pm

Most people were saying the German one was the best? Haven't seen them yet apart from Sky.

Seems a bit low key so far? Hopefully picks up from now.

Haye was much more up for it in the London presser, more like his old self than he was out in Germany.

my heart has given into my head and my offical prediction is haye win, UD

by BALTIMORA Thu 16 Jun 2011, 5:25 pm

Hang on hang on...am I right in reading that? Booking on the day will cost a third MORE than booking it in advance? That's for the fight, right? Robdog gets.

by BALTIMORA Thu 16 Jun 2011, 5:28 pm

Those videos are at least less homo-erotic than Wlad's previous efforts...

Haye - stoppage round 8

He's too clever for Wlad

by Knowsit17 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 5:42 pm

Add to that faster and better-looking. Could anybody tell me the last time either of the Klitschkos didn't fight a slow hideous overweight plodder (basically your average HW of today) ??

Today?

by Rowley Thu 16 Jun 2011, 5:44 pm

Wlad stops him for me, any time after the half way point. Simply think he is too drilled in what he does to leave his chin in the air and think his jab, which is massively underrated will bust Haye up slowly but surely

by tobbox Thu 16 Jun 2011, 5:48 pm

Haye will stop Wlad early doors - by round 5. He has too much speed and mobility for Klitschko and he'll find him and take him out.

I think you will be shocked on July 2nd when Haye destroys him...Most people just dont realise how good Haye is.

I forgot to add it doesn't matter if Wlad leaves his chin in the air, with Haye's speed he will find it regardless and take his jab away from him.

Not sure his jab is underrated, Jeff. It is all anyone talks about when mentioning Wlad (and sometimes that right hand). And to quote Darth Vader, I find your lack of faith disturbing!

Haye in 7 for me.

by Guest Thu 16 Jun 2011, 7:49 pm

Evening lads.

Im looking forward to this fight. Cant wait for it.

My heart says Haye, but my head says otherwise.
Wlad in the 4th for me.

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 7:53 pm

Slightly worried that it might be Haye's last fight and he could do a Spinks especially in Germany....and leg it with a massive purse.

However I'm 90% sure it won't happen and that he fancies the job.....

If any of the two will be intimidated it will be Haye which may lead to a snatch and grab type performance...

Not sure it will be the explosion people will think it will be....

However Haye is quicker and Vlady the robot's chin isn't that great so I'll predict Haye by tko 6..once he has his legs dancing like spaghetti he'll apply the bolognese sauce...

If he doesn't ko him however I expect him to fade and lose a close decision to Vlad..

Gun to head Haye ko6

by Guest Thu 16 Jun 2011, 8:12 pm

Y I Man, are you nuts, Wlad doesn't take people out early very often? I do respect Wlad but right now his talents are being talked up ,it is as if he is twice the fighter he really is.It's like everyone believes everything Manny Steward says.Steward has got it wrong in the past, he's no sage.
So I'm forming an alliance with Truss-come on guys, don't be a stormtrooper, come back from the Dark Side.

Are you sure that KLITSCHKO'S HEIGHT WONT BE THE DECIDING FACTOR?!!

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 8:35 pm

I think he'll be able to get inside Vlad's jab which isn't that fast..

Although you could be right....I wouldn't bet my father-in-laws house on Haye Wink

Not as quick as Valuev's anyway! Wink

I'm not sure either, but what fun is sitting on the fence?

by SugarRayBray Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:04 pm

This fight will be dull and tactical. Neither will want to commit. Haye will pot shot and circle, Klitschko will paw and jab. A SD either way.

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:08 pm

Haye will be like Hide in Hide vs Bowe in my opinion Sugar....He'll be more competitive than Hide of course.. but being in Germany with a pro Klits crowd and a Heavy of some repute against him I think he'll burn out and get drained by the occasion...

Hence I see him fading late and therefore in need of a ko to win..

Can't see Haye winning a decision..

I tend to think Haye has slightly stronger whiskers than Hide and is more solid at Heavyweght. But you could well be right. I just can't make my mind up about this one, I change it every day......

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:16 pm

He has stronger whiskers and is more solid...But I think it can be mentally and physically draining getting ready to fight a quality heavy in his own backyard....

He'll have to watch his legs...they may betray him after a few rounds.

by Steffan Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:19 pm

I gotta bad feeling about this fight. I got this vision of Haye winning.

The horror....the horror...the horror

If he does win though Steffan you can just console yourself with the knowledge he'll be retiring in order to avoid all those world class Welsh heavies who are coming up... Wink

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:28 pm

Brits that want Ukranians that have deserted to deutschland to win...

I don't know why all these great grandpas ever bothered sacrificing theuir lives...

for these wasters..

Not including some of the posters on this board iv yet to meet someone who does to be honest. Hayes antics have not made him popular and quite a few people have said how nice Klitschko has come across on TV it kinda has the "will the gobby schoolyard bully get whats coming to him from the quiet boy in the corner" appeal

I promised not to mention nationality on this new board. Shame you cant do the same hey...

by SugarRayBray Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:31 pm

In boxing, I always want the better man to win. Not sure what it has to do with the war.

Truss. Speaking from a person who had a great grandfather who died in WW1 and another who served in WW2....get a grip mate. Its a boxing match. Freedom and democracy aint at stake here

Pretty much, yeah. Although I'm sure there will still be naysayers.

Oh, and Steffan...take a joke fella.

You support your own....

Not talking about your Grandfather he was an honorable man...

Unlike you..You're british get a grip.

No, and I'll applaud him. But if you're taking 'better man' to mean who is the gentleman and better sportsman, my vote goes to Wlad.

When I get the punchline I will. And for the record us Welsh have never produced many heavys Farr being the only real one of note so wont be getting my hopes up. Heavy is a waste of time nowadays anyway

But im also European like Wlad. Where do the boundaries stop Truss?

Why is Wlad so much the better sportsman..?

Are you absolutely humourless?

Haven't seen him in any decapitation t-shirts lately. I have, however, seen him offer his hand and seen it refused by Haye. As Wlad says, Haye has crossed the line in his pre-fight antics.

by TRUSSMAN66 Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:40 pm

Your always bigging up Wales and saying how proud you are...

So they seem to stop before Britain and way before Brussels for you Mate don't they.....

I find it abhorrent hearing people over here wanting Nadal to beat Murray and wlad to beat David....etc

Spanish and Germans etc are proud of their own..

you should be..Haye is british.. so are you!!!

by Steffan Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:42 pm

Arrogant and cocky are fine. Im actually a fan fan of Amir Khan and he as as cocky as you can get. But Haye just lacks class as a person. Iv worked with people like him. They dont last very long before everyone hates them and bitches behind their back. Treat others as you wish to be treated I was told...

by Imperial Ghosty Thu 16 Jun 2011, 9:43 pm

Haye has hardly crossed the line, if he was all nicey nice about things then this fight would be getting about as much coverage as any other Klitschko fight

He still hurting from the beatdown Haye gave to Maccaspaghetti so go easy on him Truss.

I always cheer on Andy Murray for the record. Its all down to wether you like the guy or not. Murray I do, Haye I dont. Cant base everything on nationality Truss
