Just wondered if anyone else thinks Haye will start soutpaw as his "special tactic",ala Corrie Sanders.
Seems logical as the left is a weakness for Wlad, and Davids left hook against Valuev was the main telling blow.
If so,how effective can he be with it? I think Haye is basically a switch hitter anyway,and can KO with either hand.
might make things easier for him,and bring an element of suprise,thoughts?
Haye to start southpaw

Doubt it would take Wlad by too much surprise if that did happen tbh. No doubt theyve come to the same thoughts as you have. I think it would be one hell of a risk to change his entire style which has brought him this far in the most important fight in the heavyweight division for a good 10 years. As you say though, he does often switch it up a bit and therefore cant see this move being too dangerous to wlad.

If this was indeed his special tactic, it would be somewhat odd to give the game away in his contracted pre-fight pubic work out.
