Any predictions on the Haye / Klitschko fight this coming Saturday gentlemen?
I'm finding it really tough to call. If Haye goes in all gung-ho he'll come unstuck in the middle rounds. If he boxes clever and keeps his distance as he did with Valuev I reckon he could take it on points. I think against Klitschko though he'll find this incredibly hard to do...
He'll want to win spectacularly because of the belts and this being the formative fight of his career. This 'could' be his downfall.
Heart says Haye, head says Klitschko. I'm not a massive Haye fan, in fact I think he's too arrogant for his own good, but I do fancy the underdog and Klitschko has been holding those belts for quite some time now.

Both have high KO records.
I expect fireworks.
I expect Klitschko to undo Haye. I hope in a fair/clean fight.
Altho I take my hat off to Haye for taking this on.
I might be wrong.

Only a couple of days to go now. Just watched a fair bit of pre-match preamble on BBC sport. I don't get the feeling that Wladimir really fancies it. I'm putting my money on Haye in round 4 or 5.
If it goes the distance on Klitschko's adopted home turf it'll almost certainly go to him on points. German boxing matches in such situations are notoriously biased. Lewis is right, Haye will have to knock him out or TKO him if he wants to win and he'll need to do that in the first half of the fight.

My money is on Haye inside 8 rounds, he'll be too quick and have too much power. It's been a very long time since Klitschko has fought anyone decent, i.e. someone who thinks they can actually win and its not just me saying this even Steward has hinted that his might be a problem. It won't be easy but I think Booth will have a strategy to unravel Klitschko's defence and reveal his weak chin. It should be a good fight and I'm glad that Haye has finally got this fight. As cocky as he is hyping up the fight, in the ring he always delivers and I can't see this fight being any different.

I think Haye will win in the distance. I hope he takes a beating though...I know the trash talking is part and parcel of selling the fight but I get the impression Haye is actually just a douche bag.
