David and Goliath

I'm surprised there isn't a thread about Haye yet. If he wins he will be the first ever British cruiserweight to win the world heavyweight title. I reckon Haye will win this quite comfortably, quick flurry of punches and than retreat, if he keeps that up all night he'll win.

Haye will make quite a bit from this fight due to the freak factor of his opponent and quite a few casual will purchase the fight.

For anyone who hasn't seen Hayes opponent

well id fight him totally different to that. Id work on the inside not give him a chance to swing if you work on the outside there is a chance he is gonna hit ya and I wouldnt fancy getting hit by a giant like that. I tuck myself in work on his body a hope to get a couple of over the top hooks in.

I have not seen either of these guys fight I have no idea how good the Russian is

Re: David and Goliath
 

I think I'd try and reason with him first....;)

Re: David and Goliath
 

You probably could, Valuev is supposed to be a really nice guy

Re: David and Goliath
 

.... that could be the start of a cunning plan.

Offer him a drinkski. "No Nikolay the aftertaste of British Vodka always resembles strong sedatives... have mine it tastes the same..."

Re: David and Goliath
 

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

Re: David and Goliath
 

and often.. the harder they hit .... but the slower they run. :Sprint:

Re: David and Goliath
 

the russian is not the best skilled fighter but has power and size. Haye's main attributes are his considerable power but mainly his speed is what will count on the night and if he has enough stamina to keep it going.

Re: David and Goliath
 

Valuev's power has decreased somewhat in recent Years..

And to be quite honest.. Ive never seen anyone Hit like haye..

Ive got a feeling ... Haye KO either the First Round or the 6th

Re: David and Goliath
 

Does anybody know if this is Davids first fight @ heavyweight?

Re: David and Goliath
 

Itll be his 3rd.. He made a cameo Apperance at Heavywieght + His Barret fight last year :)

Re: David and Goliath
 

Valuev weighed in 7 stone heavier than Haye at the weigh in this afternoon, it's the heaviest Haye has ever been and Valuev was lighter than expected :eek:

Re: David and Goliath
 

Any ideas what he was like in the other two, Did he struggle in any he should've won or were the fights made as in all he had to do was turn up to fight.

Re: David and Goliath
 

I really can`t see Haye getting this one:sulk:

Reason being i think Valuev will get to fight one of the Klitshchkos` if he wins and that, him being Russian them Ukrainian is a big fight. Plus the fact he`s got a head the size of a Fiat500 :p:

Also 1 loss in 50 fights with 34 KO`s is a good record in anyone`s book. Haye may need to be bailed out at some point!! :o:

Re: David and Goliath
 

Hayes record isn't exactly bad - 23 fights 22 wins 21 KO's

21/22 being KO's is an amazing record.
