I think Haye won more rounds against Wladimir than is given credit for and was a more even fight. Haye's workrate was what let him down, obviously because he was cautious of Wlad's power. It was Wlad's toughest fight since Samuel Peter. Still despite Haye's lackadaisical performance he laid out the blueprint to defeat Wladimir for a fast defensive outfighter with a big punch.
The blueprint to beating wladimir is definitely not to fight a defensive fight, otherwise he'd have like twenty losses by now seeing as everyone becomes a defensive boxer once they're in with him. Beating wlad stylistically will take an effot akin to povektins imo.
abosultely definately not the fight was over in terms of a contest after round 2

mind you if they would have stuck to the rules it may have been different
