Prediction: Look for Valuev to humiliate Haye
November 6th, 2009
By Scott Gilfoid: On Saturday night, I’m afraid that David Haye and his inflated ego are going to be grounded by the big seven foot Russian WBA heavyweight champion Nikolay Valuev when they get it on in Nuremburg, Germany. Haye may have the speed and power advantage in this fight, but he’s two very important ingredients that will prevent him from winning the fight – a good chin and size.
Haye bragging about being the best fighter at one time in the cruiserweight division is like saying he’s the ruler of a junkyard. Valuev is the natural heavyweight, has the better stamina, size and chin. And on top of that, Valuev will be fighting in Germany, where he fights most of his home bouts. This won’t be a fight held in England with loud crowds that would influence a judge.
Actually, the judges will likely have no bearing in this fight, because I can’t see it going the full distance. Haye’s chin is too brittle, and his stamina is far too poor for him to make it the full 12 without him getting hit hard and stopped. I expect Haye too look good for maybe three rounds.
By the 4th round, Haye will start showing signs of running out of gas. Haye was able to fight long enough to get a 7th round stoppage over Jean Marc Mormeck in 2007, but that was against a fighter that was four inches shorter than him at 5’11” and who also had four inches lesser reach than Haye.
It was a fight where Haye wasn’t pressured hard and didn’t have to worry about getting hit while on the outside. The seven foot Valuev is going to be able to hit Haye when he wants and where he wants, because he’s got a seven inch reach and a nine inch height advantage over Haye in this fight.
A lot of boxing people feel that Haye will win because of his high degree of self confidence. But Haye’s self belief seems a tad overboard. I don’t mind a fighter being confident, but he’s a little too confident for my tastes and its’ downright scary. I’ve met people like that in real life and seen how their confidence has caused them to make huge mistakes.
I think Haye’s confidence will lead him to fight in a reckless manner, the same way he did against Carl Thompson in 2004. Haye went out with guns blazing in that fight and tried to run over a veteran with a great chin and good power. In hindsight, it was foolish for Haye to fight like that against Thompson. It didn’t matter that Thompson was 40-years-old at the time and was near the end of his career.
Haye showed no respect for what Thompson could do in the ring and thus Haye ended up paying the price for his arrogance by being stopped. Haye says that the loss was a good thing for him and that he learned from it. I don’t think so. Haye seems just as arrogant now as he was then, and has fought the exact same way in every one of his fights since that time.
The only difference is that Haye has fought beatable fighters and hasn’t had to pay the price for his out of control style of fighting. Haye has beaten a number of cruiserweights since that time and two heavyweights – Monte Barrett and Tomasz Bonin – but nobody that I would consider on the level of Valuev. I’m not saying that Valuev is a great fighter, but he’s better than the cruiserweights and the two heavyweights that Haye has fought since his loss to Thompson.
I’d really like to pick Haye in this fight, but I just can’t. He’s too small, too out of control with his style of fighting and his chin is too weak. As such, Haye is going to get destroyed by Valuev by the mid point of the fight. Haye doesn’t have the experience needed to win the fight. Maybe he could if he wasn’t in such a hellish rush to get a title shot, which I feel he hasn’t did anything to earn. Haye has taken a short cut to the top, and with anyone who has taken short cuts, usually they pay the price for there lack of preparation.
Prediction: Valuev by 7th round TKO.

Well done Scott!
You keep on proving how you clearly know nothing about boxing. Don’t give up the Pizza delivery job chump.
Who knows in your next life you may be lucky enough to be born an Englishman, until then you will just have to be bitter!
Think the judges decision is unanimous here Scott. Time for you to go.
HAHAHAHAHA NICE ONE SCOTT……..YOU UTTER FOOL!!!!!
MUG,MUG, MUG, MUG, MUG, MUG,YES YOU’VE GOT IT YET ANTHER PREDICTION THE VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE SCOTT GILFOID HAS GOT WRONG COME TO THINK OF IT I DON’T THINK HE’S GOT ONE RIGHT.STICK TO LICKING WINDOWS SON,THERE’S A GOOD BOY.
Oh and Calv, the answer to your question is never!!!
If Gilfoid has a shred of decency in his anti-english body he will retire from this boxing analysis writing and try to find something that he is actually capable of doing as a boxing writer he AINT!!!
Another great prediction from Gilfoid. When was the last time he got one right?
I JUST LOVE SAYING IT

How do you feel Mr Gilfoid…in case you hadn’t noticed, David Haye beat Valuev…
Scott I want you to print your article and work it up your hole, thats right work it as far up your hole as humanly possible
Many thanks
wrong again you should just give this up the supper six and now this you should not keep letting your hatred for the British get in your way of doing your job properly
You better start wiping that egg of your face Scott!
You should’ve believed in me.

I THINK ILL RUB IT IN A BIT MORE SCOTTY BOY NOT ONLY DID HAYE WIN HE DID WITH ONE HAND HA HA
PS ADAM ADAM WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO SAY ADAM I CANT HEAR YOU HE HE

if you want to get even pick manny ko or tko, you watch, size doesnt matter manny training witwith 2 154lb fighters even porter can take cotto cotto out.
LOL You are the one that is humiliated….again Gilfoid
YO U WHAT?HAYES THE DADDY,BRING ON THE KLIT SISTERS,GO HAYE GO KHAN TWO WBA CHAMPS WHO HAVE BEEN FLYING THE FLAG OF UK BOXING TO THE LIMIT
he WILL try to claim that david fought the same fight as dirrell!!
David Haye the new heavyweight champion of the World!
Great prediction, Gilfoid. ‘Humiliated’. Yup. Just like Dirrell was ‘robbed’, eh?
Suck it up. I’m sure a man of your eloquence will be able to convince us that you were right all along in both cases.
Hmmm?
LOL Valuev better stamina!?!?! WRONG again!!! Bring on Mr Marine Adam and tell us all how haye is a “jerk” Set of idiots!! Wahooo!!!
WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!
right up ya scott!!!
hayemaker!! new heavyweight kingggg!!!!!
in fairness…i predicted a valuev win too…a lot of guys did..so i guess scott shouldn’t feel too bad. i’m delighted i was wrong tho…i really like haye as a fighter.
end of the day: deserved win for haye. he shut up guys who questioned his style, technique, stamina & even his chin (which, if it was as bad as people say would have cost him when he caught that right in rd 4). he didn’t let valuev wear him down, avoided the jab all night long, threw every meaningful punch in the fight & actually finished the fight the much stronger fighter…literally bossing valuev in rd 12. i’m sure people will come out & call valuev a bum who couldn’t box or whatever…but no-one has done to him in 50-odd fights what haye did tonight.
only downside is haye’s next fight is ruiz rather than a fight that anyone actually wants to watch (ie a klitschko).
Hopefully scott will spare us his bs from now on.
and the newwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww heavyweight champion
aha
Wrong again Scott! Well done to Mr Haye – he delivered on the night.
“Prediction: Valuev by 7th round TKO.”
You made a right balls up with that prediction Scott,you weren’t even close with it!!
I look forward to reading your face saving BS over how Valuev was robbed!!
HAHAHAHA!!
Ooops Scott, it must be so annoying to be so wrong publicly in front of people who can’t stand you.. Oooh that has got to hurt..
READ YOUR OWN HEADLIN MR GILIOD DO YOU FEEL STUPID LOL !!!
THE WINNER AND NEWWWWWWW!!!!!
HA HA HA HA HA WOT A DORK!!!!
i dont think scots always wrong. cus he was kind of right with froch dirrel. think froch only hit him twice.and if dirrell commited a bit more then he wouldve won. but if you just claim every british fighter will lose then ur obviously an antibrit! and ull come unstuck, having hate for a nation shouldnt affect boxing analysis…. ps was a brit bad to you in a past life or something?
There’s quite a few words in that article Scott, so I’d get started on eating them now.
Wrong again Gilfoid!!
Stick that in yer pipe and smoke it!!
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
scot your wrong again pal sorry. look forward to your article tomorow saying valuev was robbed, haye didnt deserve to win and im a english hating american whos got nothing else to do other show this on a boxing website. dont mean any harm tho pal… just try write an article about somthing other than brits are crap!… you never know u might like it!!
yet another WRONG prediction!!! as i sed in my previous reply, u r THE WORST “WRITER” on this site!!! anti-british nonsense is comical!!! they say even a blind squirel can sumtimes find a nut but u cant even find a correct prediction!!!??? u r hopeless!!! boxing “writer” my arse !!!
LOL Scotty eat your heart out! Now The Heavyweight division has come to life!!!!!
oh my scott, you got another fight all wrong, time to hang up your so called writing gloves!RIP GILFOID!
I dont think fight preditions are your thing.
Stick to the rabble rouseing biased stuff.
Gilfoid is a joke.
Haye was fantastic against a slow lumbering giant who only knows how to be big and throw a jab!
All you anti-brits proved wrong!
About time there was a credible champ. Maybe David will choose to bang out the Klitchkos next with a bad damaged right hand too!!!
Whooo!!!
is this the same man who said froch was going to lose look guys if you ever need a sound bet then just bet opposite to what this fool says haye all the way
Gilfoid has never got a prediction right to my knowledge so I’ll be putting my money on Haye now!
Comedy… I love Scott Gilford, I love his comedy xxx <3 xxx
I THINK VALUEV WILL WIN
HAYE BEAT BARETT BUT IT WASNT CONVINCING. VALUEV IS A MONSTER COMPARED TO BARETT AND HAYE GOT ROCKED AND DROPPED BY HIM AND THEY ARE ROUND ABOUT THE SAME SIZE. I THINK HAYE WAS BRILLIANT AT CRUISER BUT HE JUST HASNT GOT THE SIZE OR REACH TO DEAL WITH VALUEV OR THE KLITCHKOS
i got a feeling haye is gonna get rocked early, valuev is gonna jump on him, haye is going to be inteligently defending himself, but the ref is gonna jump in and stop the fight prematurely.
mr gillfraud you is a sick puppy you still with your mom
Prediction – Look for Gilfoid to get in wrong again!
I hate you Scott your mum is a hoe
Haye in round nine!!
Haye in the 9th!!!
this is better article than a liam santiago and manuela perez articles. both liam and manuela are boxing idiots ,they concocted stories from their dreams while they are asleep from drunkiness, theirs are stories of beer drinking spree!!!!!!
Is this the first non-Dirrell related article you’ve ever
written?! :p
So…. If Scott says Valuev is going to win, my money is on Haye!
But seriously… I can’t see Haye winning this one, and I’m British.
Valuev hasnt knocked anyone out for three years and that was against monte barret and it took him 11 rounds.
Since then he has lost to chageav, should of lost to a 46 year old holyfield and been pretty poor.
A old finished hoyfield was to quick for him so how will he handle hayes speed.
sadly haye will probably lose…not for the reasons you say tho…
& i hate when people criticise haye for losing to thompson. thompson was a hell of a boxer & it was very early in haye’s career. most fighters, here & in the us, wouldn’t have taken that fight. he’s a lot better than that now…without question the best fighter at cw…but valuev’s size will tell.
Scott has managed to write up another steaming pile of it but the 2 ingredients he says Haye is lacking in i agree with.
Atleast the chin anyway. I dont think he will gas as bad as he did at Cruiser cuz he was constantly weight drained there, that could also count towards his weak chin but i just think his chins a little soft. just one of them things.
He also too wild and too open. He one of the few boxers in the division i think could actually down Valuev but it would take a fair few rounds of big punches.
And i dont think Haye is capable of staying in the ring long enough to do that type of damage. Too wild and with a soft chin hes guna get tagged.
Scott Gilford predicting that a British fighter is going to get destroyed, what a surprise and saying you wish you could pick haye for this fight is total crap, your racist and you hate everything British. There would be nothing more you’d like to see than Haye get battered. The evidence is in all your articles. Your going to look very stupid AGAIN (4 like the 10th time) when haye wins.
one deciding factor for this fight could be the fact that its in germany. Remember the robin read fight. That was an utter disgrace.
NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK SCOTT your a terrible righter who always gets his predictions wrong, doese anyone support you on this website??
Sharpy: I think that was most of them! Haye has a mammoth task ahead (literally) but Valuev’s only saving grace is his size. At more equal size Haye would kill him. Sad that boxing has come to this. Heavyweight needs a David Haye character. He looks unbelievable for this fight, though perhaps a little over-muscled?
Lets try this post again cant beleive it got removed.
Lets have a bet scott, haye wins you stop writing, Valuev wins you stop writing.
Hang on was there not a american boxer recently who was shouting of and being over confident about a match with a british boxer. Tell me scott whats his name again?
I love gilface
He is the voice of reason
You would want hay to win. but it’s not often a david beats a goliath, and I dont think this david is gonna pull it off.
Haye is just not a distance fighter the only chance is early and it would have to be a peach of a shot! or an overwhelming rush, valuev will shove push n poke if he is under that kind of fire and that in itself will zap hays stamina.
Haye is goning to have to burn off a lot of energy just getting in and out of the big guys huge range, never mid putting everything into his shots to try and take valuev out.
haye is not excatly light on his feet just dont fancy his chances, unless he brings something totally new.
Hay will punch himself out and the towel will prob come in from booth.
SCOTT GILFOID IS THE MAN!
is this the same person who put in that david haye looked fat and old haha.the mans in as good a shape as anyone in boxing and tomorrow hes guna blow valuev to pieces
Awfully biased, you forget that David Haye has been training since December 08 for a fight with someone the size of a Klitchko or Valuev. Expect it to be close – they’ll be no humiliation because Valuev can box when he wants too.
Now now. fellas. please don’t get angry at one another. Lets not get on each others mothers, they are all mothers. Seve ,I’m with you. I feel you my brother. I say Hahe will hit the haye in the 7 th round
F**k off Scott
Please disapear soonish
great post SE16, Gilfoid is a Valuev nutlicker
Haye is getting robbed big time tomorrow
