The Gaye will run and flop all night

Haye's going to pot shot Vitali to a decision.

Vitali is a better boxer than Haye, no way he wins a decision

This is going to be a beat down, Vitali likes to mix it up, he'll get in close and drop the hammer on Haye

In all seriousness I don't see Vitali stopping or even remotely hurting Haye, he'll outwork him to a decision.

Haye's too mobile and fast to get clipped by Vitali's glacial shots.

No way HBO picks the fight up. Not after Wlad-Haye. And Hershman not big on HWs right now either.

Showtime might for peanuts. But I see it being an online stream

i think this fight will happen.haye lost a non fight to wlad..this i realy can see as a different fight entirely.

I've boycotted watching most of the Klits fights the last couple of years. Outside making the mistake of watching Wlad-Haye.

HBO might pick it up, but they won't go out of their way to get it like they did with Wlad vs. Haye.

Vitali will stomp on Haye

Give the man some credit

I like Vitali but he's too slow to catch Haye, Wladimir is the more athletic and he had a hard time catching Haye.

Wladimir's athletic? Guy is a clumsy robot

Vitali has much better footwork

Haye may be able to potshot to stay in the fight. I don't discount that observation as it has validity. To say that Vitali and Wlad are the same and Haye can just dodge alot of Vitali's punches doesn't acknowledge that the two Klitschkos are not the same fighter.

There is two differences with Wlad and Vitali.

1-Wlad throws jab then right hand and not alot else. You know what is coming and after a round or two guys can time him (in terms of defense and knowing when to move away-though guys don't normally have the guts to try to counter the somewhat predictable shots).

With Vitali the punches aren't coming from traditional angles and he doesn't have such straight forward patterns. Vitali is tall but he leans back, bends down, etc... Vital does jab alot but it is low alot, then a little higher, then he'll pretend to jab and throw a little hook. He'll lead with a right every once in a while. He is alot less predictable than Baby Bro.

2 Wlad throws all his shots right towards where his opponents head would be. If an opponent is ducking out of the way (as Haye does), Wlad doesn't alter the trajectory of the shots. Wlad's shots are also so damn straight. If you keep your hands up and move back you can block or partially block alot of his shots.

Vitali will aim more at Haye's chest so that he constantly isn't punching over a ducking Haye. Vitali also can throw punches that are a little wider. While Wlad has zero shot of throwing a shot that gets around the guard and hits Haye in the ear, Vitali has an okay shot at doing so.

I am intrigued by the fight for one reason: Vitali is slipping a little I believe. If a big drop off occurs then the situation might be right for Haye to try to win a fight by winning a round or two early and then coming on late as Vitali's body breaks down. While I don't believe this will occur, anything can happen when a 40 year old man who has been seriously injured multiple times (and used steroids a long time ago) is in the ring.

This is like Clottey, immediately after the Pac fight, fighting Mayweather.
