From a fan's perspective.... where we're all expecting a good, action fight... I thought Gino did an EXCELLENT job. Regardless of what drove him to do what he did. Wlad was pulling Haye down behind the head. We all saw it, the crowd saw it, the corners saw it. What would you have preferred... that he didn't do anything at all? As for Haye, I stand by my opinion. Flopping in itself is not a foul. But it ruins a fight. When a fighter takes a knee, the ref gives him an 8-count, right? Well, Haye didn't take a knee, but he did throw himself to the ground on many occasions. So take the 8-count.

That being said, I can't blame Haye fans for thinking to the contrary. After the shameful exhibition Haye put forth last night...... I'd be looking for all sorts of excuses, too.
