Am I the only one who actually thought it was a close fight?

[tysonesque]

I've just watched an interview with Haye and the guy is delusional. Even now he's still talking out of his arse and blaming it all on his little toe and saying Wlad won't want to fight him when he's 100%.

He even said that Wlad would avoid a rematch because he doesn't want to fight a dangerous fighter like Haye again. If he thinks running away like a pussy and throwing himself on the canvas every couple of minutes makes him dangerous he's an ever bigger twat than I thought.

I didn't think Haye took many big punches, but he must have because he's lost his already loose grip on reality altogether!

What a complete c**t!

if Sharmba Mitchell can get a rematch with Kostya Tszyu....

Anyway, I thought the fight was closer too. Not close like 7-5 though.

But I saw a lack of action from both sides, Haye had great defense for a heavyweight but he is what Emanuel Stewart said, he isn't a counter puncher, so he's either making you miss or trying to hit you but can't do both in fluidity with each other unless its off a feint. haye made Wladimir give him a lot of openings like constantly feint baiting his left hook each time, but didn't make him pay for it. Openings were there, Haye just took them briefly in the 3rd and the 4th and the 12th. Lots in between that were some close rounds. But I thought he for sure won the 3rd 4th and the 12th, so gave him 3, and with the closeness of the rounds could have been 4.

I'm probably in the minority but I thought the twelfth was one of wlads most dominant rounds he gets poped with two good punches, gives five good ones back.

Ali-Frazier 3 is a close fight.
Pac-JMM 2 is a close fight.
Ali-Norton 2 and 3 are close fights.
De La Hoya-Quartey is a close fight.
Morales-Barerra 1 is a close fight.

Wlad-Haye is not a close fight. A close fight would mean that if Haye got the decision almost no one would complain. But in this case if Haye got a decision yesterday, it would be called an outright robbery for Wlad and would be up there with Whitaker-Ramirez 1.

Look quite a few of his fans wanted Haye to win and I understand that, but let's not be delusional.

I think it was a close fight, but not a fight that you could say he won.

A lot of fight fans call a close fight that could have went 7-5 either way, a robbery. When a robbery is an 8-4 or 7-3 fight that goes to the other guy.

So I'd say it was a close fight but there's no way you could give it to the other guy.

yep I think we will see Haye v Vitali

Those brothers want him knocked out for sure. Unfortunately Vitali doesn't have a weak chin to give haye a chance so he would have to outbox him. Like thats going to happen....


Wlad by 5 maybe about right for Saturday. In Haye's defence I will say that I never expected him to look as fresh after 12 rounds.

What could he do different in a rematch.....
