Just like Skel's thread really, although it's to claim the opposite. I actually spotted this and mentioned it when the fight happened a few years ago.

Ok here's my claims: When Haye's legs went in the 4th and he went down, i proposed at the time that actually what happened was he stood on the advertising hoardings and slipped, and i've always believed that to be the case.

Now i've found this clip. Watch it in real time and it looks like a legitimate punch.

But then watch again.... (you'll have to keep pausing it at different times as it's quite difficult to get the still image of the shot missing Haye, and it's difficult to get the image of Haye stepping on the advertising board).



Pause it at 1:28 and 1:29 and you'll see that the big punch actually misses Haye by a whisker. You'' also notice him stand on the advertising board which is on the ring apron. You'll also notice how clear his eyes are when he receives his count.

After the fight Haye gave an interview where he said his legs just went, thinking he'd been tagged. For me this definitely explains it. I actually think he decided to go down because he felt his legs go, and Mormeck jumped on him. I think he went down to almost as a precaution.

Watch the video, and slow it down, and you'll see what i mean.....
