Wladimir Klitschko v David Haye Betting Preview, Tips and Odds

This evening sees the fight that all boxing fans have been looking for since David Haye stepped up to the heavyweight division after conquering the cruiserweight division and we are set for a thrilling fight in Hamburg, but which of these two fighters will emerge with three titles to their name? The bookmakers fancy Klitschko to win the fight and the Bet365 Wladimir Klitschko v David Haye odds are as follows:

Wladimir Klitschko odds – 1.53

David Haye odds – 2.62

Klitschko comes into this fight as the favourite with an outstanding record of 55 wins, 49 by the way of knock out, from his 58 fights and he has successfully defended his IBF title on nine occasions and the WBO title five times. He and his brother, Vitali, have dominated the heavyweight division of boxing since the retirement of Lennox Lewis back in 2003 and in doing so they have sucked the life of the division with their almost robotic fighting style. In fact, while they are good fighters, they are not good boxers and Wladimir will be hoping to control Haye from the start of this match and rack up his 56th win. Will the odds be correct and will Dr. Ironfist add the WBA title to his collection?

The Hayemaker’s fighting style is the exact opposite of Klitschkos as he entertains as well as secures results. After dominating the cruiserweight division, he came up to the heavyweight and has beaten all around him since. After one victory over Monte Barrett Haye was given a title shot against Nikolai Valuev and a fine boxing performance saw him claim the WBA title on points in Germany. He has since defended his title against John Ruiz and Audley Harrison, knocking both fighters out, and he now faces the biggest challenge of his career. Can Haye take the titles from Klitschko tonight?

In his fights Klitschko usually starts slowly as he has a suspect chin, one that has seen him knocked out three times in his career, finding his range with his jabs and he will again look to do this. However, Haye is by far the quicker fighter and he will look to take advantage of this and get in close and land punches to the Ukrainian’s chin and end the fight early. If Haye can do this then he stands a great chance of taking the titles, however if the fight goes into the later rounds we expect to see Klitschko get back into the fight and finish with the advantage. We are fans of Haye and we can see him winning this fight and early on too.

Betting Tips Recommendation:

Our money is on David Haye to beat Wladimir Klitschko @ 2.62 and there to be less than 6.5 rounds in the fight @ 2.25 with Bet365.com.
