Will Abdoul give Haye the rounds he needs?

Looking at his record, he only has one TKO were he was out on his feet possibly and he went the distance with Adamel.

He could well give Haye some rounds, but if Abdouls performance against Enzo is anything to go by they want be at a high pace and won't test Hayes stamina, as Enzo was allowed to box at his own pace for the duration of the fight.

Abdoul was ultra-cautious of Enzo's power and fought a very defensive fight, I hope he doesn't come to do the same against Haye. In saying that though I can still see Haye stopping him even if Abdoul does fight very cautiously

i think haye will likely force a stoppage with a barrage of punches.

Can't imagine why he'd suddenly abandon a cautious strategy when going in with a banger like Haye. If he's got any ambition, he'll wait awhile and then chance it late on, when Haye slows down a bit.

Anyone who goes 12 with Enzo has a good chin, so he's likely to give Haye a long fight, unless he's caught cold that is.

Looks a long night for DH, and it'll be mightily impressive if he gets rid of the Belgium before half way. And if Haye has been skipping the hard work in training ( what with the nice weather and all! ) he could well end up paying late on.

Its not a case of suddenly abondoning his cautious style, I've only seen him fight once so I can't really say that he's definately a cautious fighter, he just was on that night.

He fought Enzo over 2 years ago, since then he's had 10 fights and had some decent wins (along with creditable losses), so his style could have developed/changed in that time

I think Abdoul will probably survive a good few rounds, alot will depend on the compassion for the corner. If Lasse Johanson can go till 8, then Abdul can go the distance.

I think Paula Abdoul has more of a chance beating Haye.
