How Can Haye Defeat Vitali?

vitali4543photo by Pavel “Eagle eye” Terehov – By Scott Gilfoid: To be brutally honest, it probably doesn’t matter what David Haye does in the ring against Vitali Klitschko, because when it’s all said and done, Haye doesn’t have a big enough cannon to take him out. Clearly, this isn’t a fight that Haye is going to be able to win on his boxing skills alone, because he’s a rather ordinary boxer, who relies mostly on winning his fights by knockout. He’s not particularly adept at throwing jabs, and mainly waits for openings to throw a single big shot, hoping to stun his opponents. If he’s unable to hurt Vitali with a single shot, then he most certainly won’t be throwing any kind of combinations, because Haye generally only throws combinations after hurting his opponent with a big shot.

Haye and Vitali Klitschko Involved In Scuffle

haye341By Eric Thomas: photo by Pavel “Eagle eye” Terehov – In an interview with the BBC Sport, David Haye (22-1, 21 KOs) commented that he had recently gotten into a scuffle with Vitali Klitschko at a restaurant after Vitali saw a photo of Haye in which he was holding the severed head of Wladimir Klitschko. The photo was taken for the UK version of Men’s Health magazine, and apparently Haye thought that Vitali would see it as a joke rather than take it seriously. However, Vitali reportedly got enraged and the two quickly began scuffling with each other until they were broken up moments later.

Does Haye Stand a Chance against Vitali?

haye6545562By Scott Gilfoid: After aggressively pursuing both Klitschko brothers for months, David Haye has gotten his wish, landing what looks to be a fight against the bigger and better of the two brothers, Vitali Klitschko. While I respect Haye a lot for having the courage to take on Vitali rather than the soft-chinned Wladimir, I think Haye is going to be destroyed by Vitali in quick fashion.

David Haye vs. Cristobal Arreola – Who Would Win?

Image: David Haye vs. Cristobal Arreola – Who Would Win?By Alan Thomson: The best American heavyweight versus the best British heavyweight. Two fighters who enter the ring with the same intentions – to seek and destroy.

What would make this fight so compelling is that both men have huge power and are not without their flaws. Apologies to my British friends but Haye can be a bit wild with his punches. And sorry my American compatriots but Arreola is defensively challenged. He is about as evasive as a lamppost. And raw power mixed with openings created by either wildness or lack of movement adds up to a knockout.
