Haye looks over-trained for Wladimir fight
June 30th, 2011
By Jason Kim: In looking at the workout yesterday involving WBA heavyweight champion David Haye, if you want to call it a workout, Haye looked visibly thinner than he had in his last fight and has the appearance of someone that over-trained. This is bad news for Haye, because he’s facing a huge Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) on Saturday night, and Wladimir has trained no harder in this camp than he usually does.
Even then, Haye is still a pumped up cruiserweight, someone that has to lift weights constantly in order to keep his weight up. He’s not someone with the natural heavyweight frame. When you pump up your physique to fight at a higher weight, like Haye has, you generally don’t have any more power than you did at the lower weight. The only thing that changes is that you’re carrying more weight. Punching power rarely changes for a fighter moving up in weight. Haye might not be any better off no matter what weight he comes in for the fight.
But looking at how thin he he, it’s a cause of concern. He’s too light and he’s going to get knocked around from the shots that Wladimir lands. We saw this with the equally small Eddie Chambers last year when he was often knocked off balance even when blocking shots from Wladimir. Chambers came into the fight weighing 209 pounds. Haye looks to be around that weight for Saturday’s fight with Wladimir. This may not go well for Haye. I have a bad feeling that he’s going to be too small to compete with Wladimir.

Hope Haye does a Calzaghe job on Klitchko and shows that holders-on (eg Hopkins) cant rely on the tactic in every fight.
Haye’s antics already got under WK’s skin. Haye’s gonna surprise a lot of people. Within a few hours big boreman’s going down!
Haye,s chin is suspect.
spot on haye gonna wreak wladidywidy..
Weigh in is over.
Hayed came in at 213lbs and Klitschko was 243lbs.
@WTF
Haye doesn’t have the chin Holyfield has that’s a big difference.
Just as i thought Haye as put on more muscle and weighs more and Wlads lost the weight i knew this and that you are lookin for anything to argue a point with next post should be as WK overtrained with worry?
I agree, Haye has been overhyped and read years ago. Nervous energy and overtraining can be a killer. He should just be sleeping and eating now.
Oh and by the way,any and all elite athlete’s are overtrained, it goes with the territory. To be an elite athlete means to overtrain, why do you think this era of sports is saturated with PED use?
Holyfield was a blown up Heavyweight too, and look at what he did. Some of the most successful Heavyweight champions in history fought under 220 pounds, a prime Ali, Patterson, Tyson, Frazier and Holyfield. While Wlad’s size could be a problem for Haye, Haye’s size could be a problem for Wlad, can’t wait!
David haye sure can bang just wait until tomorrow folks.
@ Richard
your a knob mate – a typical foreign low life
You are Jealous of British Boxing Cant hack the fact that yanky boxing is sh1te
People will be surprised that haye would not be able to land any meaningful punch in this fight because Wlad will keep in cautiously outside and win every round and once Wlad is winning the rounds then its an uphill battle for haye who would have to come out and go for broke and thats were Wlad hooks will come into play. Haye is too small and more like a crusierweight and i have said this and asked this question before what do you think will happen when a boxer that weighs 210ibs get hit by another boxer that weighs 246ibs?
fat american yanks
Oh Im sorry Jason Kim, we all forgot that you were Haye’s personal trainer!! How on earth can you say Haye has over trained?! We’ll see later if your 209lbs prediction is right after todays weigh in!
Dont forget Fragomini kicked his behind boys!
How many more junk articles is this site gonna churn out about this fight ???
was Haye bigger than Valuev
both u poms and yanks are a bunch of dum f##ks
Please give me a good excuse so I wont fight this sat. Im scared, for god sake im starting to wet myself at night.
Agree with Haroon. Once again Haye has very bad taste with the Hitler video. Particularly in Germany.
Haye ain’t looking good. Haye be looking like British teeth.
“Punching power rarely changes for a fighter moving up in weight.”
Lol Tell this statement to M. pacquiao…. That’s why so many question him!!
OBAMA 2012 : lets wait and see if Haye fights like American or does what Calzaghe
did to lacy.
@Haroon haye didnt make the hitler video mate its been on you tube for awhile so i dont see the problem
There both fat A.s.s.’s
Sky sports had a broadcast of Lacy and Calzaghe. Lacy lost and he looked in impeccible shape. It dont mean anything!
Haye probably wants to be thin and fast! But he throws punches from to far of a distance and Wlad throws straight and hard. Wlad by ko.
ipp in my pants,the only number Haye is going to do is lye on his back and get counted out while Wlad stands in his corner watching.
Haye will do a number on Wlad… something which no fat, strong, fast, powerful American has been able to do. they lost the fight when they signed for it.
doubt it wlad be dq’d first for his holding wwf moves he uses
overtrained or undertrained does not matter much he will get ko’ed either way sorry and if he trys to rabbit punch like he allways does the fight’s going to end in a dq
hayes been working for this fight all his career, he`s expecting to be underestimated.. he knows what he`s facing fighting in the fatherland… he`s planning a knockout from nowhere.
i have no doubt
we shall see at the weigh in….Haye will look ripped, hard and in phenomenal shape.
this must be one of the most hyped fights ever, seen the vid must admit found parts funny but over the top, crazy thing to do fighting in germany.
