It appears that The Boxing Message Board Account Holder doesn't understand boxing as much as he thinks... or as usual, is letting his love of Wlad make him over look things.
How many times did we see Mike Tyson have opponents so intimated that they wouldn't throw commited punches at him to keep him at bay? How many opponents were so frustrated with Ali's antics that they would chase him all night with no care or gameplan?
Fuck... Hopkins still does it every fight.
They often had guys beat before the bell.
It may not literally win a fight... But it can make it the fight you want.
'it doesn't matter once the bell has rang' is bullshit... Once you get in a guy's head and change his temperment? Of course it matters.
Lets hope that for Wlad's sake, he isn't pissed... Haye is likely to stand a better chance if Wlad puts himself there to be hit. If he uses the safety first, negative style that he employs against even small heaviess like Sultan (yawn) then he will give Haye all sorts of problems... But if he's stupid then at least it will be an ex undisputed cruiserweight world champ and not a pro golfer sparking him out.
