Haye: Wladimir will panic when he gets hit and attempt to run while Vitali mops up tears in the corner
April 20th, 2011
By Sean McDaniel: IBf/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) has a lot to worry about in his July 2nd bout according to his opponent WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s). To most boxing fans, Wladimir is the best heavyweight in the world, but to Haye, he’s just another one of his opponents that he’s going to knock out quickly.
Haye is expecting Wladimir to go to pieces mentally when he starts putting the leather on him on July 2nd in their fight at the Imtech stadium in Hamburg, Germany. Haye sees this because he noted how Wladimir seemed to fall apart when hit hard in defeats to Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster and Ross Puritty in the past. Haye is going to try and make Wladimir relive that past by coming out fast and landing some big shots in close to hurt Wladimir and send him into a panic. Those fights were big upset losses for Wladimir.
The Haye-Wladimir fight is one in which Wladimir is a slight favorite going in. A Haye win won’t be seen as earth shattering event because Wladimir has already been exposed as having a weak chin and someone that can fold when pressured hard. However, except for the quick knockout loss to Sanders in 2003, the defeats to Purity and Brewster came only after Wladimir had unleashed a lot of punishment on those two fighters.
For Haye’s part, he was beaten by a 40-year-old Carl Thompson in a 5th round TKO loss in 2004. Haye started off quick thinking he was going to knock Thompson out and for three rounds Haye had his way with Thompson. However, when Thompson started fighting back in the 4th, he badly hurt Haye and then continued to hurt Haye in the 5th until Haye’s corner threw in the white towel to save Haye from knocked out. Haye was still on his feet at the time of the stoppage but in bad shape. He clearly would have been knocked out in the next round. His trainer saved Haye from being badly hurt by stopping the bout when he did.

Haye has fought bigger, faster fighters. He had fought a 36 year old giant, way past his prime. A giant who cant punch, is clumsy, and is slow. Then he fought 3 guys who werent even ranked in the top 10. All of them 38 years old and slow. All of them on a downhill slide losing as many as they were winning. Haye fought one decent fighter—Mormeck! Thats it. No good fighters, no great fighters. And Haye barely beat Mormeck. (And even Mormeck was past his prime at 36.) Haye got knocked down against Ruiz (when he knocked him into the ropes.) Haye got knocked down by Barrett. (he admitted that) And Haye got knocked down by Mormeck. Vladimir has fought 12 fighters ranked in ring’s top 10. Haye has fought one at heavyweight, three at cruiserweight. That Vladimir 12, Haye 4 (and he has fought better fighters???)
Wlad will hit this idiot so hard that his stupid cornrows will shift to his azz.
Save the hype Dave.Just show up and prove it.
Hayes moma is going to panic when she sees her son laying there unconcious.
hayes confidence you have to admit is impressive and i have no doubt will unnerve wlad in the build up as wlad does lack confidence in himself. still think wlad will win but would not be surprised if wlad freezes and gets koed
@ Anunymous
hey there, I just read some of ur comments, u seem to be a big boxing expert, please tell me what do u do for living… just out of curiosity thx
Haye does mouth off alot, but at least he brings abit of charisma to the sport. wlad and vitalli have about as much combined personailty as a rock. I highly rate wlad and think he has a good chance of winning. But I’m behind Haye 110%. either way really looking forward to the fight.
Just wait and see when Wlad stuffs his gloves into Hayes big mouth. That’s granting Haye climbs that ring which I really doubt. Just think how long it takes for him just to sign for the fight. On the other hand the Klitschkos are booked for other fights.
im just wanting to know how hayes fans can say something ridiculas like.every fast powerfull and hungry fighter has beat wlad thats all rich
rich c it was his 25th fight it was also his 12th fight in the space of 13 months and being put in with a tough guy whos only been stopped once in the 2nd year of his pro carer was a big ask.i also think it was abit stupid of wlad not to take a knee and see out the last 15 seconds of the round to get the win but like i said it was inexperiance..all his loses are inexperiance and wer learning curves and they r the reason why he brings great technical boxing to the ring…yes there is a chance haye can win.no1 can know how gd haye actually is considering his list of talentless opponentsbut i see this fight a 70/30 in favour of wlad….
listen,guys that mouth off are usally scare. and try to make the other guy think he doesn’t have a chance.they believe this is a advanage to them. you make a guy fell he will lose and at ti that just happen. but it not going to work this time.
ross purity.corrie sanders and brewster hungry??are you kidding me saying that is like saying haye lost to a hungry up and coming boxer in thompson when infact haye was just taught a lesson by an older man…same way wlad was taught a lesson 3 times.diference between the 2 is haye after his defeat wasnt put in the ring with dangerous opponents wlad was..wlad was 22 and in the 2nd year of his pro carer losing to purity due to the fact he was fatigued..sanders taught him a valuble lesson in not to take any1 to lightly or ull be burned and brewster again was a gas job..i dont hear any1 talking about the fast powerfull and hungry boxers wlad has destroyed??hell castillo and byrd wer faster than haye better foot work combinations headmovement only thing haye has more than them is power.and they cudnt even land on wlad never mind put him in trouble..once wlad lands his 1st 1-2 watch for hayes jaw to drop because thats wen he will realise hes in for a tuff fight
the truth WK fell down after the 5th round bell rung that was cause by tripping on ref byrd foot.
Considering that a few fans in Britain are craving a Haye victory is cool but actually expecting it to happen is crackers. Haye is hopelessly outclassed. In the real world give Haye a big hand for showing up for the fight after that it’s all Wladimir.
The only question rationally still open is whether or not Klitschko will knock Haye out or the fight goes to the score cards.
wally was barrett,valuev,ruiz and harrison faster punchers then wlad.
@Rich C abd others Davey fanboys from England (or entire Britain). BET YOUR MONEY ON DAVEY BOY. DON’T TALK ABOUT WHOW HE IS THIS AND THAT. DAN’T TALK, DO IT! BET YOUR MONEY ON DAVEY!
As for myself, I’ll put a decent amount on Vlad’s victory.
And we’ll see who is right
Carl Thompson was Just as big as David Haye, David Haye continued to fight BIG GUYS! KLITSCHKO BROTHERS FIGHTS SMALL GUYS EVER SINCE THEY LOST!!!
We just will have to wait for this one to unfold.No one who claims to know realy does at this point know who will win.They both have big punches,but wlad is more proven in the super heavywieght class,he has ko,d some big ones.Top contenders and got the job almost finished in two he lost,only one was he clearly beaten to the punch,and anyone calling corey Sanders a chump,is naive.he could punch early in his carreer then after the vitali stoppage he degenerated.
all these Wlad fans who think Haye stands literally zero chance are making me laugh. trust me Wlad is keeping himself quiet and tucked away training for the fight of his life.
He has lost to all the fast moving, fast punching, powerful, hungry heavies he has fought. This will be potentially the toughest fight he has fought in the last 5 years.
It will also be the hardest fight of Haye’s career, but he’s fought many taller opponents and faster punchers than Wlad – but added to that he thinks this is his destiny to unify the CW then the HW division. He’s hungry and he’ll do anything to win this fight.
Can Wlad change tact and fight a fast HW and pressurise him – not just walk forward and jab, but actually go for it? I dont think he can. Haye loses if he gets lazy or goes too gung-ho, apart from that I can see him picking Wlad off with big shots n flurries n leaving him on the canvas inside of 6.
@Rich C, You get real kid, bet some hundreds on Davey!
When WK is in the ring you can be sure, WLAD WILL PRODUCE A KNOCK OUT. THIS MAN HAS 55 WINS & 90 fkn percents of them by way of KTFO (90! 90! 90! 90! 90!) And I am more than sure Davey won’t survive this war. Can’t wait. Wlad is a real warrior and an OLD SCHOOL. Respect WK respect THE CHAMP!
No Godzilla Valuev here Davey boy!!! It’s Vlad Klich KO !!!
@Rich C, 50-50 fight?! Oh come ooonnn! More like 95-5 fight. WK by way of KTFO in round 3
Haye haters come on. here july3rd if any1 wants easy cash. bet on haye
i matched this two in fight night champion and both online and offline haye gets hammered and knocked out.
Lets take a look at both fighters here.
1.Haye has more or less no defence,no jab and all he does is throw pot shots and power flurries and to me thats a very limited boxer.
2.Wladimir has one of the most devarstating right hook in the heavyweight division and the hardest jab in the sport and he is very smart the way he applies this in the ring.
Prediction:Wlad ko haye in the 7th rd
@Everblast
Haye is only getting under his own skin because Wlad has heard this 52 times and all his victims came with a gameplan but immediately he starts landing dem jabs and hooks their gameplan goes out the window.
David Haye would be punished come fight night period
I cannot wait for Haye to knock out Wlad. so you little wlad/vatalli bum boys, who frankly couldn’t get ur tounges any further up…..can shut the f**k up!!!
It is hard to read same all BS from Haye again and again. And funny to see how Haye talks and Wlad just keeps silence. Everything will be in the ring, not in interviews.
j jackson, +1 my vote to all you said, not much can be added to your posts.
i’m british, and totally fed up with this pr#ck now. why doesnt he shut up and just wait for the fight. no more publicity is needed, so he is mouthing off for no reason.
@j jackson, you have concrete opinion man. These Davey’s English idiots cannot find nothing to respond!
You guys need to stop all this nonsense. Trash talk is all part of boxing promotion. Haye gives a pretty good trash talk and certainly appears to wind up you americans, more than it does the Klitschko’s. Wlad also has come out with some class trash talk but as much as I want Haye to win, I kinda like Wlad, he is a genuine nice guy. Ultimately I really don’t care who wins…I hope it does go 12 rounds. It’ll be a great fight from what ever corner you are supporting.
run away thats wot haye does wlad will knock haye out
It sees like Haye is going to keep on and on with his pathetic trash talking. Wladimir is not talking too much. He is going to allow Haye to keep talking and he will do his talking in the ring with his skills and power punches.
Haye has the nerve to say that Wladimir has faced bums. Look who i talking. Haye has beaten a series of older, past-it and weak heavyweights to date and he badmouths Wladimir.
Haye needs to keep his mouth open to psych himself up. To cover his fears.
This is what every fighter says when going into a fight with a klit. “I will hit him hard and stun him”. As seen, it was them the ones kissing the canvas, not Klitschko.
Bye-Bye Haye XD
@ J Jackson. As usual from you, a good post. Thanks.
Bye-bye Haye, this is your last bout.Wlad will destroy Haye 100%
@ J Jackson
Great post, thanks.
Now lets look at Vladmirs talent. he has lost 3. twice he gassed out, was not really hurt by punches, he just fell over. Despite standing with his hands at his side, unable to get a breath, puritty, a vergy big man hit vladimir numerous time and couldnt put him down. Against Brewster, he didnt fall down from numerous punches, but dropped over after the bell rang, exhausted. Why did he lose to Sanders? He had never fought a southpaw, wasnt in good shape, and was using his old style, with his head over his hands. He got caught by the Sanders. Rahman said Sanders hit harder than Tua or Lewis. Any figher can get knocked out by a big puncher.
Now lets look at Haye’s talent. He has beaten only 1 ranked fighter (not even top 5). he looked bad against Valuev, but hurt him in the last round. Of course Monte Barrett and Chageav both hurt Valuev and they arent big punchers. Chageav beat Valuev more convincingly than Haye did, yet Vladimir beat Chagaev easily. Haye knocked out three old men (all three were 38 years old). Ruiz was 3-3 over his last 6 fights. Barrett was also 3-3 over his last 6 fights. Harrison, well that was a joke. Valuev had just lost to the 46 year old Holyfield (he didnt get the decision, but he looked better than Haye did as well). Why do those 3 fights give you confidence???
son of CW
if ignorance is bliss, you should feel great. its haye who has been fighting bums.
the proof is as follows.
according to ring magazine (the only rating accepted in professional circles)
In about 3 years haye has had 4 fights. he has had 1 fight against a ranked fighter. Valuev was ranked 8 in the world. Haye narrowly won. Other than that he has fought 3 guys who are unranked. And Barrett and Ruiz had a losing record over their last 6 fights. Harrison is just plain bad.
Now compare Haye to Vladimir and Vitali.
in the same 3 years.
Haye: 4 fights (1 top 10 fighter)
Vladimir: 5 fights (despite 2 surgeries he fought more often than Haye. 3 of them were against top 10 fighters. 4 of them would have been if Povetkin hadnt backed out.
Vitali: 7 fights (5 of them against top 10 fighters) 2 of them were unranked.
In 3 years:
Haye fought 1 ranked fighter
Vladimir fought 3 ranked fighters
Vitali fought 5 ranked fighters
You dont have to be mindless to root for Haye, but apparently it helps….
David will knock out this bum Wlad. Wlad like his brother Vitalli has been fighting bums like Shannon Briggs and due to get ktfo!
haye only shot of winning is to ko wlad in the first 4 rds after that we will all see a onesided beating from wlad i just hope haye can last till the end so we can see the pizzaface wlad said he will give him
W B A garbage
This fight will have a great build up & will be enjoyable for boxing fans, the reality however is the fight is a mis-match!
Haye’s power is only proven at CW (fact). Wlad has been knocked down/K.O’d by Brewster, Sanders & Peter, all hit harder than Haye. The times of Wlad being K.o’d/knocked down are over he has developed as a fighter & Haye will not get close to his chin. Haye will be badly hurt, probably KTFO!! or quit in his corner.
It sounds like Haye is thinking of getting the job done quick. I think he should rethink that strategy because if Wladimir lasts through the early rounds Haye is going to get a prolonged beating.
word on the street. haye has been training with strippers in las vegas
