Steward: Haye to use hit and run tactics
June 30th, 2011
By John F. McKenna (McJack): It was reported in the Agence France-Presse today that Vladimir Klitscko’s trainer Emanuel Steward believes that David Haye will use the same hit and run tactics he used to win the world title against Nikolai Valuev.
David “Hayemaker” Haye has said that he has come up with a new strategy that he is convinced will enable him to defeat Vladimir “Dr. Steelhammer” Klitscko.
Steward is not buying the new strategy routine and thinks Haye will attempt to move in quickly to deliver his punches and then get clear of Klitscko before he can counter with his own shots.
“David, regardless of what he might say he is going to do, will come out and fight the way he did against Valuev and in all his other fights against big guys. We have seen all the tapes and we know about David Haye,” said the 66 year old Steward.
Steward went on to say “Haye brings to the ring, speed, power and the mindset of a winner. He is confident and that’s something Vladimir hasn’t experienced sine his first fight with Sam Peter.
“There is a whole new energy that Haye brings that Vladimir has not had to deal with since then.”
The brash Brit took things to a new low on Wednesday when he posted a link on his Twitter feed to a video of a clip from a film about Nazi leader Adolph Hitler’s final days in a Berlin bunker.
The film is in German, but the sub titles have been modified to make it appear as though Hitler is discussing Saturday nights fight and dismissing Klitschko’s chances.
The British Boxing Board of Control is investigating the matter and is warning Haye about his conduct. Vladimir Klitschko for his part says that he is bored by Haye’s constant provocation and the childishness of it. He appears to be unfazed by Haye’s antics.
Klitschko took a new lease on life when he took on Emanuel Stweard as his trainer several years ago. Since that time he has turned his career around and dominated the heavyweight division. Vladimir has won his last thirteen fights, ten of those by KO.

Please show me the way. When has Davie Haye ever been a one punch knockout artist? Have not seen it. Don’t think he will prevail against Wlad.
@ Billiea: It’s nationalistic pride. If your a Brit you have to support Haye or they banish you from the Isles! LOL!
The Brits are the only ones who think Haye is going to win.
@ Dave: Please! If you think Haye is going to lose that means you don’t like the Brits! I love the Brits and I think Haye is going to get clobbered. Get a reality check!
i feel your pain I AM JOHN Q
dave is going to hit klitty so hard his head is going to come off just like the poster my prediction
the hate for brits haye etc is great on here brits just rise above it, come sunday after haye takes this robot fool out going to be very quiet on here
The Brits need to support Haye or give up their citiizenship!
Ghaye sayd that he is going to charge like a bull at wladimir, This fight is like Bernie sayd it will be like MOE smacking on Larry and Curley, Wladimir is Moe ha ha he ha
Wlad knocks him out early.
he sure is 2 more belts to go with his wba one
Haye is going to receive his just due on July 2nd!
Volod will slap Haye upside the head right away. Just like freakin Moe Howard of the Three Stooges.
klit is going to make so many mistake’s in this fight he made a huge one taking it!
Wlad should never make the mistake of chasing haye if he choose to run because that was the mistake valuev made and when you chase someone around you are prone to make mistakes which haye likes to dwell on.
Steward is playing mind games with haye and saying haye is gonna use the hit n run tactics that makes haye come out with his plan of bum rushing to try and end the fight early but he would be suprised that Wlad will match whatever tactics he employs. if haye choose to hit n run then Wlad should just hold centre ring and wait for haye to engage and if he doesn’t the points would be given to the home fighter.
@Bearcat
You got it sooo wrong mate with the running thing! Can’t believe you said that, what was you thinking? That’s the American way…you messed up big time, you’re gonna get hounded for that comment!
Haye will humiliate England July 2
I hate that hit and run s**t. They never really HIT. When a boxer do that, simply there is no fight unless the other one chase him all night looking for a real punch… and then the one who runs gets the decision!! (alexander). This supose to be a super fight and if he actually do that, it will be very very dissapointing.
Mo – USA track and field just juice up and boy can they run. Ask Marion Jones.
Doesn’t America’s best fighter avoid confrontation, evade and hide? From small Filipino guys mainly.
“hit and run avoid confrontation evade and hide. The british way.”
One of the biggest jokes of a comment I’ve ever read. Wrong on so many levels
“hit and run avoid confrontation evade and hide. The british way.”
Andre Dirrell. Ward, Malignaggi, Floyd to name but a few! USA track n Field
He is going to use the same tactics as did Chaimbers and Byrd. It will not work. Just watch and see how The best Heaviweight Champion does his handy work. Ghaye should just run like a Stooge that he is. Just lkie you The three stooges Britards are ha ha ha
