Congratulations David Haye. Magnificent effort. Fact.

i think the exact opposite, i actually think size had NOTHING to do with it


(i had not expected haye to look so big against klitschko)


klitschkos defense is what eventually set them apart, haye wasnt expecting him to deflect punches as easily as he did, i didnt think haye would do anywhere NEAR as good as he did tho, overall haye did better than most of klitschkos recent opponents, but if u look at what he said (he wouldnt have a boring fight and would go for the KO (and he ended up running away after he KNEW he was already down)) u cant defend his performance



he took klitschkos punches pretty well too

Exactly.

A heroic performance is the only sensible conclusion.

had haye not talked shit about how he was gonna make the fight exciting i dont think hed be getting nearly such negative feedback


he actually managed to make klitschko uncomfortable for a while (and he even made klitschko press the action in the last round)


i guess now all thats left for klitschko is povetkin (tho he will probably fight the british guy first, chisora or something)

I dindt buy the fight,it was 4am here ,havent seen it yet wil have to wait for utube. So whats the talk about about Haye going to ground all the time? What happened with that was he dropping out for time and a split up?

I think he was falling to ground in hope that the ref would take points away and eventually disqualify wlad, haye knew from round 1 it was over, imagine that big strong awkward man in front of you.

There is the sense that had Tomasz Adamek put up exactly the same level of performance, he would get a lot more credit for his efforts.

Of course he wouldn't whine about his toe at the end either.

Although to be fair he's Polish so we don't actually know or care what the fuck he says when he's talking. I doubt Merchant would even bother to interview him.

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.

my 64 year old mom whose favourite sport is ladies figure skating thought: "david haye did a very good job and should be proud of his performance. he tried very hard."

i told my mom david haye looked pathetic and is a loser for not even trying after all the shit he's talked.

we agreed to disagree.

Problem is, Adamek would never put up that kind of performance. I don't give him much of a chance against Vitali, but I know he's going to give it everything he has. He won't flop around, he won't make excuses, and he'll take chances knowing that it could get him knocked out. The guy fights with heart, unlike Haye.

imagine that big strong awkward man in front of you.

Mate I suggest you speak to Lyle, no one else here has ever imagined Wlad in that way.

Andre I think it was one of the things team Haye spotted and could try and exploit, every time Wlad would lean on Haye would hit the deck and moan. It almost paid off too as Wlad got deducted a point for it. Haye fucked it up though by doing it once to often so the referee ruled it a knockdown costing him his previously earned point and another on top
