Wladimir Klitschko on why he won't KO David Haye before Round 12

Wladimir Klitschko on why he won't KO David Haye before Round 12

By John Benz, Doghouse Boxing (April 17, 2009)

Wladimir Klitschko is prepared to hand David Haye a serious beating when the two face off this coming June 20th. Yesterday at a press conference held in Germany, Klitschko had some serious warnings for Haye who showed up wearing a t-shirt of himself holding the decapitated heads of the Klitschko brothers (Wladimir and older brother Vitali).

Angered by the t-shirt, Wladimir stated at the conference that Haye is young and can not control his emotions. Vowing to teach the young man a lesson, Wladimir stated: “I will teach him a lesson and show him how to deal with it. I can best do it into the ring."

Wladimir was at first motivated to knock Haye out in the first round, but the t-shirt has made him change his mind. Wladimir will now use the fight to torture Haye in a long process that will play out over 12 rounds. "At first I thought I would knock Haye out in the first round," said Wladimir, adding: "...but then I thought better of it. I will make it a long and painful process. I will not knock him out before the 12th round. I will enjoy the process, it will be fun."
