i agree. haye spent most of his time surviving trying to slip and dodge wlad's jab staying outside of wlad's reach. which is perfect for wlad cause he doesn't even put himself in harm's way to be effective and he just had to watch for the 1 hayemaker thrown each round.

if anything haye's defense benefited wlad more than haye. staying on the outside and waiting for your 1 big shot, eventually just surviving to the end.

poeple thought wlad would get the KO because they were expecting haye to be aggressive and to bring the fight. at which point wlad woulda ko'd him.

and i think the KO would look better on haye than the broken pinky toe excuse.
