currently making Klitschko around a 2 to 1 fav to win.
My opinion is that this is a really difficult fight to call. (betting wise) meaning the market is pretty solid.
Klitschko is bigger and stronger and has fought better opponents but in fairness some of his recent opponents have been really bad and out of shape.
He has been tagged in the past.
Haye will 100% come to fight.
Haye looks the value at roughly +185 as he only needs to win this matchup around 40% of the time to make this a value bet.
I dont like the talk from Haye about retirement though.
If things get tough in there it may effect him and he may look for an easy way out.
On the plus side Haye is in fantastic shape, a lot has been made of his weight yet other heavyweights carry a lot of fat around plus he is only a little lighter than Mike Tyson in his prime who used hand speed to crush much bigger opponents.
Hayes chin/will hasnt really been tested in a long long time.
I think Klitschko wins this matchup around 55-60% of the time meaning I give the slight betting edge to Haye at +185 or better.
