Anyone else seen this from the WBO? Whats the point in either of these two fights? Be very surprised if Haye Wlad happens

In a way, Wladimir only has himself to blame, when he picks weeds and doesn't let the division actually flourish enough to garner true contenders. He's only giving himself more work at the end of the day because he has to fight Tony Thompson every couple of years because there's nobody actually out there who hasn't already been beaten.

Yeah... looks like we get a rerun :blood

I paid a lot of money to see Haye getting KTFO live, but we all know that didn't happen. Maybe I get another chance after the TV but I expect it to end up in the same way... a running/chasing bout with a wide UD at the end.

no

I lean towards the smarter fighter MASSIVELY in rematches. Hmmmm, let me think who that is in this case. :think
It's funny when 6'7, 250 lb Wlad gets defensive it's "being smart", yet when 6'3, 220 lb Haye does it he's a chicken.

Haye and Adam Booth would correct their faults in the first fight, have better balance (with healthier toes, not joking) and approach the fight in a much better manner. Haye stops him in 5, and I'm genuinely being serious here. Just my opinions of course, but hopefully the rematch'll happen next year so we can find out.

I think Wlad will stop him. Haye is too short and too naturally cautious to hit Klitschko clean with a shot that is powerful enough to properly hurt him or knock him out. Haye is sort of wild going forward and against someone as big as Klitschko I don't see him catching him with a hard, clean punch. I don't believe for one second that Haye will be aggressive. I think he'll be a bit more active on the front foot and try to counter with the overhand right more but Klitschko is too big and controls the range far too well to get caught.

Don't see Haye winning at all.
