What's wrong with it? How exactly is it "pathetic" and/or "disappointing"??? Frustrating for some maybe, but you know what you're getting with Wlad...it's like you guys go to an ice cream shop ask for vanilla, get the vanilla, then complain that there's no special extra stuff added to it...it's vanilla, you ordered it you should be aware of what you're getting.
Wlad fought the way he was supposed to, seemed to me Wlad planned for Haye to attack him...had Haye done that then we probably would have seen a KO in Wlad's favor...but Haye ran which is NOT what most expected...and then he blamed it all on his little toe :eek: ....poor little toe

:rolleyes:
Wlad won the fight, won every damn round as a matter of fact, and you complain? Haye ran, Wlad would get him cornered or in range and HAYE would rush in a clinch and fall down claiming fouls. Hard to KO someone that's always running away yet has some dangerous weapons....Haye had no sack but dangerous speed and power. Wlad fought smart and won easily. Wlad's not exactly Bruce Seldon.
For what it's worth I believe Haye did win a couple rounds on the judges scorecards. I do however agree that it wasn't easy for Wlad to to catch David 'Hare'. Wlad (as usual) fought way too tentative, much of the time he'd back Haye into the ropes/corner, and then just fucking stare at him, and not throw punches. It was like he was scared to death of gassing, getting countered or KTFO by a crusierweight.
For chris sakes Wlad, here was the pretentious fucking clown that had been insulting you and your family the last 2 years. Show some stones, put some hurt on the muther-fucker and knock him into next week. It was a pathetic performance by Haye, but considering the magnitude of the fight and everything that had gone down prior to fight night, Wlad's performance was disappointing.

I had been trying to remember Akinwande's name, thanks. That had to be one of the worst, most cowardly performances ever. Mills Lane finally stopped the sham and DQ'd Akinwande, because he wouldn't fight.
Lennox Lewis was in some strange fights during his career. :rolleyes:
Re: Most pathetic/disappointing championship performance ever?
I totally forgot about Robert Allen in Hopkins rematch. Ref literally chuckled at him at one point like 'get the f outta here'.
Riddick bowe vs Dokes.....not Dokes but Bowe and camp for making it.
Re: Most pathetic/disappointing championship performance ever?
Henry Akinwande Vs Scott Welch... Being a welch fan I was really dissapointed in Scott that night as his trainer was showing him photos of his kids to try and motavate him into doing something... funny thing is scott was sat behind me at a hatton fight and although I said hello I strangly never mentioned how I felt about the henry fight to him ;D;D;D
and Tyson Vs Golota came to mind... with hindsight maybe... just maybe if golota showed some balls he could have won this one...

Re: Most pathetic/disappointing championship performance ever?
Danny Williams vs Derek Chisora for the British was really disappointing - I did expect Williams to be beaten as he was shot to bits and admitted so in the build up..but man, I didn't realise he was that shot. He looked scared and like he didn't want to be in there..Put up no resistance whatsoever. Not at all the same Williams who KO'd Potter with a dislocated shoulder or took a drubbing from Vitali.
I suppose we couldn't be too disappointed with someone who admitted they were shot before hand..But it was pretty damn bad.

well it depends really, Camacho pretty much redeemed himself a bit in the sense that he took his beating against Chavez and stood a bit with him rather than running all night like he had been doing since his close call against Rosario, but I guess you can say it was a bit disappointing in the sense that the fight was so lopsided
I don't think Camacho's performance against Chavez was that bad. He tried. He was just in against a better fighter. But he made an effort. Now against De La Hoya. That's a different story. He went out like a bitch. Hugging and tackling Oscar just to save that gay ass curl of his

that's what I meant, he tried but the fight was lopsided, so if some were expecting a competitive fight between a slugger (Chavez) and a fast technician (Camacho) they were probably disappointed that it ended up so one sided, and agree that he was just pulling for a paycheck against DLH, Oscar still goes down as the only guy who was able to drop Camacho although it never did get counted

He didn't go down against Trinidad 3 years earlier, because he ran like a chickenshit throughout the last few rounds of the fight and was hanging on for dear life.

he still ran against Oscar, just DLH was able to drill him and Camacho being the clever fuck he has always been tackled DLH to play off the KD
Re: Most pathetic/disappointing championship performance ever?
Yes Camacho v Tito was negative from the Macho Man but you cannot blame him for that with Tito's power, against Oscar you could.

don't see how you could against Oscar seeing how he was viewed as a pretty brutal puncher all the way up to welterweight, Mayorga fight alone shows that DLH wasn't too far behind in the power department

Oscar had heart, skill and conditioning but not the brutal power of Tito which I know you will agree.

I don't know about him, but you know of course that I'LL agree to that.
