It’s now official that there would a unification bout between David “Hayemaker” Haye (25-1, 23 KO’s) and Wladmiri “Dr.Steel Hammer”Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) on 2nd July 2011 at the 57,000-capacity Imtech Arena in Hamburg Germany for the WBA, WBO and IBF World Heavyweight Titles. It’s been a long time coming as this fight was originally scheduled to have taken place before now but has been put off on many occasion. Excitement and true opponent is what the boxing community has desired and we hope that this fixture will come to pass.
Immediately the news break that the fight is now official, the stakes favours “Dr.Stell Hammer” who has proven over time that he is not just a disciplined and courageous fighter but a true heavyweight puncher. More so, “British super middleweight and former 2008 Olympic Gold medalist James DeGale (10-8, 8 KO’s) is picking IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (55-3, 49 KO’s) to knockout WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-1, 23 Ko’s) on July 2nd when they meet at the Imtech stadium in Hamburg, Germany for their mega- fight”. Indeed on paper David Haye does not pose a treat to the IBF and WBO King who is standing at 6'6 ½ inches tall with 81 inches in reach. This erudite fighter is technically gifted, some pundits thinks he plays the game of chess with his opponent which if translated means that he is always three steps ahead of his opponents.
Despite this daunting attribute of Wladimir Klitschko, I strongly think the time for David Haye to make Haye is now. Just like few gave him chance to come out tops in the battle with Nicholay Valuev (who actually is less skillful and slow compared to the younger Klitschko) yet the Briton is all fired up, though he stands at 6'3 inches tall with 78" reach, He is 30 years old, five years younger than the IBF King. I consider this British fighter a little faster and hungrier than the younger Klitschko whom I believe would be fighting to punish David Haye for all the trash talking that he had done against him and his family, He will be fighting to please his elder brother who had allowed the opportunity to fight the Briton first. I think the bitterness in the mind of Wladimir Klitschko would be his greatest undoing. Haye has continued to trash talk as is traditional of great boxers of old, (Haye: Wladimir will panic when he gets hit and attempt to run while Vitali mops up tears in the corner). He believes that Wladimir is just another opponent that he will knock out quickly. According to Haye, “Wladimir will go to pieces mentally when he starts putting the leather on him on July 2nd in their fight at the Imtech stadium in Hamburg, Germany. Haye says this because he noted how Wladimir seemed to fall apart when hit hard in defeats to Corrie Sanders, Lamon Brewster and Ross Puritty in the past. Haye is going to try and make Wladimir relive that past by coming out fast and landing some big shots in close to hurt Wladimir and send him into a panic”. Those fights were big upset losses for Wladimir.
Recall also that Haye never stood toe to toe with Valuev rather he made the giant run round the ring making him loss steam and tire out quickly. The truth is that Haye will come with a game plan that will shock boxing pundits and the betting public.
