Congratulations David Haye. Magnificent effort. Fact.

[TitoFan]

The "experts" predicted an easy KO for Wlad. He would take Haye "whenever he felt like it"

Instead we saw SIZE determine the outcome.

A good big man beats a good little man.

Well done Wlad.

You're as blind a fan as they come.
Fact.

You dont know what the heck you are talking about. Haye landed 1 punch in the 10 (or was it 9th round). That shows he didnt even try. He wanted to end the fight on his feet. That is all he cared about. That is a lesson before you jump on a fighters band wagon and spend your money to support him make sure he is the real deal and not just trying to make money with no concern for the real fans. I feel bad for the British fans that followed this idiot. I called it. I said Haye would run all day. I would say FACT but that is gay.

[Rantcatrat]

Haye left the ring as classless as the British fans were at the stadium that booed the Ukranian national anthem. It would be one thing if Haye hadn't talked half the smack he talked about Klitschko, creating a tee shirt, creating a video game, putting down Klistchko's former opponents - guys who went out on their shields mind you - but, having done all that talking, and then to spend the whole night running. He defrauded boxing fans around the world. He should be a ashamed. He could have had a whole broken foot, but once he stepped in that ring, he should have done what he could to be honorable. He's a shame. Hopefully, Haye retires into the British countryside and we never have to listen to him again. ALl that nonsense jibber jabber. Bait and switch. And to think he put down Cris Arreola. Cris has ten times the stones Haye has. The nerve. Really. At least Shane is shot, Haye fought like Shane did against Manny in his PRIME. We should ban discussion of Haye from this board. Haye is what turns people off to boxing. He's a bum. Off with his head.

[Violent Demise]

What happened to the Herculean power of the haymaker...and is Wlads chin still made of sugar glass ? I mean, at least Davyrrill Williamson dropped Wlad...gheesh

Honestly. I thought Haye fought to survive in the 2nd half. He literally looked a bit squeamish coming to the ring and honestly when I saw Wlad walking in with alot of pressure and little jab and offense the 1st few rounds I expected Haye to unleash hell and expected Wlad to get dropped ugly at least once. He never formulated an attack, at all. He was right in his face and Haye just looked for sucker shots...he fought cheap.

When you talk THAT much bs and thump your chest that constantly you must back it up and not be merely content to say "Well I went the distance....AND I did it with a crooked toe I nicked on the end of me sofa last week"

I don't doubt the story that Haye was tackled in the parking lott and forced back in. Which was the reason for the delay prior to his ring walk

I didn't expect you to look at a computer game character eating pills and see oral sex.

Actually fuck it, not suprising... You probably look at pictures like these and see gay oral too...



Must be on your mind a lot.

Whats it meant to look like?
I see a thug drinking from a bottle holding a gun out.

Of course you do, you don't suffer from VDs illness. Only when I realised how he looked at the world was I able to try and look at it through his cock tinted eyes.

You're right, it is a man putting a bottle in his mouth, but using VD's gay vision any picture of somebody putting something in their mouth MUST be gay. I know to me and you it looks like the type of poster a 12 year old eminem fan would have on their wall... But we're talking about a seriously ill guy here who looks at computer game characters and tablets - and just sees cock.

(ps vd I will save you the trouble of responding - I know are but what am I).

My take on the fight...

Obviously dissapointed for Haye but there were good points and I'll cover both.

Haye proved that he can take a shot from a big hard punching heavyweight. His tactics before the fight of taunting and trying to get under Klitch's skin worked - but back fired.
Haye proved his stamina is also not as suspect as some had feared.

Klitch was apart from at maybe two or three punches in the fight was completeley dominant - there is no hiding from that. You may not like his style (I don't) but you have to admire how effective it is and how well he uses it.

I've been away from heavyweight boxing for a while and always thought of Klitch as boring and lacking in personality - I was wrong. The way he carried himself the months before the fight and the way he spoke after it proved he is both an intelligent man and a class act and he has a new fan in me because of that.

David didin't or couldn't do anything with Klitch's jab - I think like many he underestimated how good a weapon it is. Haye was never going to beat him on the outside taking pot shots and as soon as Klitch took center ring from the first round I feared for David. Even when David was able to avoid the jab Klitch has a very clever way of following through with his arm and pushing you off balance.

Where now for Haye ? He's already saying that there is a rematch clause with Klitch and although he lost by a wide margin it was one of the better Klitch fights I have seen so they could probably sell it.

As for the broken toe.... maybe it was maybe it wasn't but this was a fight for the undisputed heavyweight title - you lose you accept it end of story. He looked silly making a meal of it and should have kept quiet about it. I know fighters who have carried far worse injuries into fights and they have not used it as an excuse afterwards.

[Gandalf]

Haye was beyond awful really. Lively opening couple of rounds, but Wlad controlled everything from that point on. Fenster was likely a bit drunk, I wouldn't get too upset by his comments.

Rematch What the f so he can con some more people outa their money...if I was wlad no way in hell would I give him an immediate rematch, just due to his shit antics, let him live with the loss for a while and the knowledge he got beat by a "shit robotic bum"

No, he doesn't deserve a rematch. Haye couldn't use his mouth to reach the pinacle so now he gets back in line. Either he retires or has to get active and earn his shot. Haye has been a part time boxer for a good while now, I doubt he has the drive or desire to even bother. He will retire and good as I don't think he is particularly good for boxing himself.

I'm a "blind fan" for congratulating both fighters? Fair enough...

You seem upset Haye didn't get himself knocked out.

At least he learnt you a good lesson for the future - don't get fooled by HYPE!!! It's purpose is to sell fights

[Dave Hughey]

I'm with Fenster.

Haye proved that Klitschko is a boring watch. At least David Haye tried to land big shots. HBO would have him stand around and eat punches like the rest of Klitschko's opponents.

The Klitschko boys should fight each other or stay the fuck home.

You'll see a good fight from Wlad the day he is challenged. I hope some of the upcoming fighters prove to be the real thing and can give him a fight. What he needs is someone of Lewis' class or better.

It is heartless to demand he fight his brother.

[Hornfinger]

My thoughts......


Well Wlad was the favourite to win and I think wlad on points was a very very likely outcome from the moment the fight was concieved.

i have to say boxing frustrates me when it pans out as predicted. But then that's life.

I actually think that haye did better than most on here are giving credit. I understand that there are alot of people to thrust the dagger into haye now for one reason or another. But the fact is Haye landed some good shots and was dangerous throughout.

End of the contest, wlad had won fair and square and there can be no complaints.

The knock down was a complete farcical joke but had it been given or not the result would have still been the same so you can't dwell on that too much.

Haye did have a broken toe it's there for all to see. He probably should have pulled out or post poned but come on, when you have people, especially those on this forum, that don't believe training injuries exist it wasn't really an option. BUT just like the faulse knock down the toe wasn't the reason haye lost the fight.

The ring entrances. Probably the most elaborate ever seen in boxing so far. They were works of art in themselves. I thought it was genius by the haye camp to use the time that Wlad was going to make them wait in the ring to post pone their entrace. However I didn't like the fact that Haye had to pretty much fight his way to the ring and wlad got a clear path through. As you all know by now I'm all for a n even playing field in the sport.

In the post fight, wlad was very gracious and i think his stock has risen alot from this fight, I think he'll have made a lot of new fans. Haye on the other hand is going to get a lot of stick. Deservedly or not, a lot of that stick is going to come from people who would never step into a ring let alone reach the very top of their proffession or sport.


I think a rematch is very possible, where else is wlad going to make that money. And if it happens I'll be supporting haye again

[ninjaspy3]

I agree with Hornfinger.

The only part of hayes performane i would be most critical of is the falling down.

But his movement was good and he made wlad miss a lot. Even wlads jab missed often.

Haye simply needed to dare to throw more punches. But to say it was a shit performance, well i think thats just nonsense.

[Diane]

Were the HBO guys slaughterimnh Haye?

I';m surprised si many peopeke boiught thsi KO hypoe?

First, how many drinks did you have when you typed this?

To answer your question, yes, the HBO commentators were bashing Haye. Larry Merchant had some classic lines that made me lmao.
