Haye-Valuev: Can David Keep The Pace To Get A Decision?
November 1st, 2009
By Julie Wells: This is my first article and first of all I’d like to talk about next weekend’s heavyweight showdown between David Haye and 7ft 2in giant Nikolay Valuev. David Haye has done all the talking but now it’s time to do the work. First of all, Haye has a huge disadvantage in size and it will be hard to get his punches on Valuev’s chin without taking a clubber on the jaw. Secondly, and the main thing is winning a close decision in Germany.
This is his last chance he loses hear and he can kiss the Klitschko’s goodbye. Hopefully, Kevin Johnson can be crowned WBC Champion in December as he takes on the older brother Vitali. David Haye’s main fight where he run out of gas was his only loss to Carl Thompson. After flooring Thompson, Haye was stopped in the 5th. But that was 5 years ago and has great wins over Giacobbe Fragomeni with a 11th round KO and coming from a knockdown to stop Jean Marc Mormeck in the 7th round with the best uppercut since Mike Tyson. Plus, Haye’s last cruiserweight showdown with Enzo Maccarinelli in the 2nd round where he displayed the best performance of his career showing his brutal power.
Then, Haye’s heavyweight debut against tough veteran Monte Barrett, scoring five knockdowns despite going down himself. So Haye’s chin isn’t that good, but he can punch like hell. So despite Valuev’s chin, Haye is the hardest puncher in boxing and should knock the Giant on his back and I doubt Valuev will make it up in about the 7th round.

get it out Pete!
Haye has only been put down properly by Mormeck and Thompson. Mormeck has a more than respectable 66% KO ratio whereas Thompson is renowned for being a banger. So all this talk of him having a fragile chin is a little premature IMO. Let’s see how Valuev deals with Haye’s power.
i don’t agree it was a knockdown either i thought it was more of a slip but he did get hurt in their
haye has been floored a few times and not by big punchers and although he possesd punching power in cruiser weight does he really compare to either of the klithcko bros i personally cant see haye ko’ing him and i dont see how hell win the decision in germany but heres hoping i want him to cause a stir but he cant get to the top with vitali there cause he has a weak chin and vitali doesnt and they both punch with alot of power
Exactly Pete, Julie, what ever your name is. It wasnt ruled a knockdown. thats what i said, it wasnt a knockdown. Thats why it wasnt ruled a knockdown becuase he didnt knock him down.
The only people who think Barrett knocked Haye down are the ones that WANTED to see it.
if haye dont get 2 macko he can win it i dont no if he can ko the big fella but i think he could bust him up 4 a late stopage!! but haye dose like a scrap and that could be his undoing ‘but the mans not stupid so im going wth the latter haye 2 win Julie xx
the giant will win by ko he is just way too big he may not be great but he is champion albeit a weak one haye will tire in middle rounds and the oaf will catch him im goin down the bookies there offering 9/2 that the beast will win by ko or tko im on that
get em out for the lads Julie
Hi i wrote this article my actual name is pete but i sent it and didn’t write my name so it used the email address. I do no what you mean Barrett did floor haye but it wasn’t counted as a knockdown
Nice article Julie, you make some good points especially the difficulty of getting a close points decision in Germany and most importantly trying to knock out Valuev, who is the kind of guy you can land all your best punches on and will still be standing there.
NICE READ jULIE, WE NEED DECENT WRITERS ROUND HERE TO OFFSET THE LIKES OF MANUEL PEREZ AND SCOTT GILFRAUD
julie get it out! haye’s gonna floor him
Money talks………..all the bookmakers are making Haye as favourite…….Why? because Valuev is trash.
No Julie Haye did NOT get knocked down by Barrett.
But your main point about him havin the stamina to keep up the pressure incase he cant KO Valeuv is a very valid and important factor on this.
Im hoping moving up a weight has helped him over the stamina issues he did seem to have. He was always fighting his body weight in that division and throwing bomb after bomb really takes its toll.
And if he does lose to Valuev then he definatly loses his big chance to lure the Klitchkos into fights without being completely fleeced in the contract.
i think haye will take it on points.. he will throw way to many to be close. jus has to keep some gas in the tank for the latter rounds
about the topic. i would have to agree. if it goes the full 12 and its close then ze germans will give the ape the win
haye can win this fight very very easy, he needs to stick and move, but i believe haye will get a little too confident and start trading and get caught. valueve has the slowest hands in boxing but they are very heavy.
i hope haye wins though, haye is the only guy that can save heavyweight boxing, him and admek.
ive really had enough of the klitchkos jab fest’s
julie i love you
julie. are you fit?
