I think Haye has just cause to believe in his power in a huge way,but he is NO defensive wiz.He was hit tonight with many jabs,his hands were at his hips and he looked vertical.Power can change things in an instint but it is a two way street.All this talk of a KO of Barrett equaling an instant sparking of Wlad is premature.He needs to be graduale and consistant building up....don't be overly rushed to show off lapses against the very best.....and they are there to be shown Imo.Dude is young.
Only bitterness would result in someone dissing that performance by Haye. He did a better job than any other heavyweight did on Barrett. I think Haye is going to do well at this fight, or at least make it a bit more exciting and respectable for an audience.
I'll try for an objective analysis here.
Good: His power carried up, he used some great angles, good win for his actual entrance into the heavyweight division, someone that can be metered against other top heavyweights. He made the fight exciting
Bad: His poor defensive technique also carried up, he ate every jab that came at him (bad idea against the Klits), he hasn't learned how to pace himself and had his mouth open after the 2nd round. He also does this thing where he springs straight back, by doing that he's doing half the work for his opponent to knock him down.
Overall: He is not quite ready for the Klits although I'd give him a good chance against most of the other heavies, a good next fight would be Arreola or even Peter.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
