I wish they would have done a 24/7 for this one but oh well.

Haye is gonna knock Wlad out.

That first promo vid is amazing

Haye is going to sleep. So far he's looked a lot less threatening at heavyweight than several of the Klitchko brothers past opponents (Arreola, Sam Peter etc) and we have seen how those fights have turned out.

I am rooting for David Haye to win this one as a revenge match against Wlad's bro Vitali Klitschko would be an incredibly HUGE fight. I am a fan of Wlad, but I hope Haye is able to win as I think that would be better for boxing as it would open the door for another superfight. I think it all comes down to the ref, if the ref allows Wlad to hold then I expect it to be a 12 round clench and hold. Now if the ref makes it a point not to let him hold then I could see the possibility of an upset.

I disagree, Haye is definitely much faster and a harder hitter than either Arreola or Peter. Lets remember this guy rocked a Nikola Valuev thatwas like 100 lbs heavier him and a foot taller. Also, Haye is going to be in great shape whereas both Peter and Arreola were in questionable shape. Haye will be ready to fight for 12 rounds. While Haye has fought questionable opposition at that weight class so far, he is definitely a much more legit threat to the Klitschko's than what we have seen in a while.

Faster hitter? Yes. Harder hitter? Hell no. He is naturally much smaller than both Peter and Arreola. Another factor to remember is that while he is faster than both Peter and Arreola he's still at a reach disadvantage. While Haye rocked Valuev is kinda like a bigger and less skilled Paul Williams in that neither guy fights in a style that benefits their size advantage. Wladamir doesn't have that issue. The Klitchko brothers know exactly how to use their size to their full advantage. We also don't know how well Haye will take a heavyweight punch and he's going to get hit by that jab early and often. When that straight starts following up behind it I don't think Haye will be able to handle it. And that's the key thing to think about. People talk about Haye's speed and power as if that was all there is to it when it isn't. He's going to have to be able to take Klitchko's shots if he wants to land his own. Arreola and Peter for all their warts could take the shots. They just didn't have the athleticism or skills to really do what they needed to do. Haye has the skill and athleticism but can he even get to a position where they could be useful to him. I don't know.

Geez, Max, have some dignity. What a cornball program Face Off is.

I'm very excited about this. I don't think there's much of a chance of it going the distance as some are suggesting. You have 2 guys with good power and suspect chins. It'll certainly be a matter of "can Haye beat Klitchko to the punch consistently?".

Klitchko has one of the best straight rights in the division ever (people don't acknowledge this because of the weakness of opponent but some respected guys have statyed it). If he catches Haye with it, I'm not sure he'll survive it. Guys with more noted "good chins" have succumbed to it. He also throws that short left hook that comes in from a slightly lower angle (seems to be a euro thing, though Razor Ruddock had a left hook/uppercut he used too) that has decent power behind it. He might also inflict a lot of damage withe the jab (unless he's choosing to paw with it instead of snapping it out there). This arsenal combined with his good technique/defense is why I always say that Klitchko would be much higher regarded had he began his career 10 years earlier. With all of that being said, there's absolutely no denying his glass chin and Haye is the guy with the greatest chance of A) getting to it and B) cracking it.

I dunno who's winning this fight, but I don't think it's going the distance...

The only losses on either guy's career are stoppages. I think Haye has a chance with his speed to get in on Wladimir and for me, I think Wlad's chin is still a little suspect, and should Haye be able to get inside, and crack him, even if only once, that might be enough for him to win the fight. Ofcourse actually getting in has proven to be a pretty difficult task.

No... because I don't think Haye has it in him to trade punches with Wald... Wald will tag him one and it will be over.

Haye's speed is relative... he is fast because he has faced slow as **** fighters like Valuev.... Wald will time him and that will be that...

HA! Haye tells Vitali to his face that he wants him next. He says "promise me that you won't go in the ambulance with your bother and will face me after the fight."

Man I really hope Haye can pull it off.

I both agree and disagree, I think that Haye's speed is definitely real. With that said, just about every heavyweight outside of Haye and he Klitschkos are slow plodding fighters so I hear your point. I could see Wlad timing him right and KOing him ala Brewster, but I also have the Ibragimov and Eddie Chambers(though Wlad did get the KO in that fight) fights in mind as well, especially the Chambers where Manny Steward was begging him to open up and take Chambers out. I think if Haye can rock him with some big shots early that might be able to take Wlad's confidence and make him not want to take any chances. Can't wait for Saturday.

Aw, come on!

It's a fun watch.

Any time "Money" is on the program, the laughs come a mile a minute.

As far as Haye, I hope Klitch puts his fist through his big mouth.

Yeah I agree, I like these Face/off, they may not be everyones cup of tea, but I appreciate them. My favorite one was definitely the Hopkins-Pascal II face/off that they did, that one just destroys the rest.

I just can't buy into the Haye hype. He got rocked by old ass Monte Barret. The same guy who couldn't even get in the ring properly. He is a flawed fighter who has even a bigger questionable chin that Wald.

Relative to the crappy ass heavyweight, Haye is a good fighter... but I don't think he will be the guy who knocks off Wald off.

I dunno maybe if Wald loses it will be because he isn't Hayden powered... I still can't over that by the way...

I should really like David Haye for a few reasons.
He is english, went to his after party when he beat Enzo and I got to hold the belts (for some strange reason it made you feel big when you are carrying them).
But i really dont like the guy, for me he is more hype than substance and his ego is way to big for someone as talented as him imo.

The Enzo fight looks worse and worse given how he has fought. Enzo always had a crappy chin, and before that fight the talk was who would land the first punch first.. Haye did... thus KO.

He denied to shake my hand," Klitschko said. "The Dalai Lama shook this hand. President Clinton shook my hand. This same hand shook hands with the president of Ukraine, Max Schmeling, Joe Frazier, Muhammad Ali, Lennox Lewis, Larry Holmes, Steven Spielberg. I can go on forever. None of them denied to shake my hand. David Haye denies to shake this magic hand. The man doesn't give any respect.

"

You could call me crazy, but I think this fight goes on as long as Klitschko lets it.
