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.

Haye talked a big game but it was that, talk. He was in the fight early. He won round 3 on my scorecard and round 4 was close and some may have given him that round. As the fight wore on he didn't make an attempt to show any more aggression until the final round.

Lets be honest, he fought scared. He feared getting knocked out if he engaged more.

And the flopping. Yes, Wlad pushed him down at least 3 times. But Haye kept flopping. The one that a point was deducted was a clear flop!!! He was lunging in, ducking his head and upperbody so low that he could have bumped into me and he would have gone down. Then he'd look at the ref and cry about it.

Even the guardian and the BBC have included in their writeups that Haye was going down to the canvas too easily!!!!!

Haye's punch output was a joke. If you take away the 4-5 decent right hands he landed, then his punch output, excessive movement, and refusal to enage, was reminiscient of Ibragimov's con job against Wlad.

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
