Haye - Say's I talked the talk, but I didn't walk the walk!!

[erics44]

i think the rematch with haye would generate more interest than a fight with any of the other top 100 fighters

only ones i can think of that would come close would be adamek and povetkin

so a rematch is a posibility

I agree with booth tho, haye should retire because the klit would take a bit too large a slice of the pie this time

I disagree. You can get a rematch after a hard fought close match, an unfortunate injury which causes the fight to be stopped, or after a shock loss. But if you put forth a half assed effort in the biggest fight of your career then nobody will want to watch you fight ever again.....unless they are British in which case they're willing to buy tragically lame excuses

They bought the Audley Harrison fight and Haye was seemingly the bookies favourite to win this one. Never put anything past the Brits.

That's totally wrong.

If Wlad EVER started that fight as underdog I would currently be posting from a beach in Barbados. I am not.

I simply went on the HBO commentary which is what they said. Obviously I don't know the real odds myself whence the seemingly part.

The HBO commentary constantly get things wrong. They are embarrassing. They always sound like pathetic internet nerds (barring the pro's/trainers that work for them).

They thought Calzaghe was floored by Eubank during the Roy fight. Dumb fuckers can't even take a minute to research the fighters they're covering on youtube. Pathetic.

I'd have put enough on it to net a nice holiday or 3!
(but not my house... if I did haye would have bloody landed a KO punch! the dick! )

[AdamGB]

Would you like a rematch Lyle? Presumably you'd like to see Haye stopped because you dislike him?

Surely if you dislike Haye so much and were upset by his trash talking you'd love to see Wlad actually punish him for it?

I get the feeling you're probably satisfied that Wlad made it through the fight in one piece with a very lackluster UD and you'd be more than happy it gets left at that.

(Don't worry, you don't have to admit it! I wouldn't expect you to )

I'd like to see Haye stopped, but with a healthy toe he'll just run more.

What else does Wlad have to prove vs Haye? He outboxed him and although he tried to stalk Haye down and bait him in it just didn't happen.

Would I "like" to watch another fight like that? No....no matter who is involved.

[AdamGB]

But you'd like to see Wlad completely destroy a guy who trash talked him constantly and disprespected him in a completely tasteless manner right?

I know you wouldn't want to see Wlad do just enough in each round to keep his man at bay score a UD... but you'd love to see a fight where he was on a seek and destroy mission to completely crush a man who wasn't anywhere near his league and who had disrespected him.

Right? You want fighters to show exactly what they are worth and back their own words up after all.

Of course I wanted Wlad to KO Haye, but Haye fought such a negative fight it made it difficult for Wlad to land clean. I don't think a rematch would solve anything.

I was disappointed there was no KO, Wlad was disappointed there was no KO, but Haye didn't earn a rematch and I wouldn't want to watch it.

[Gandalf]

I agree a rematch would be pointless. The gap between the two was immense and Haye threw something like 23 punches a round, he was far below anything needed to compete on Wlad's level. He just isn't a very good HW. A fight against the elite has shown us where Haye really is.

That would be about as exciting as Wlad giving Ibragimuffin a rematch. I don't see there being much interest or money in a Wlad vs. Haye II.

At times Haye was there to be hit, had Wlad showed more aggression when haye was on the ropes and especially in corners (as was the case several times) he would have had the opportunity to land some hurtful combos but I think he was worried about what would come back if he opened up more.

[Saddo]

wouldn't want to see it again if i'm totally honest... his brother should get the chance to KO Haye but I very much doubt that they want to give him another payday.

Someone said the following to me yesterday and it makes you think... if you where a pro boxer, REALLY belived you had a chance of beating wlad and you had a toe injury... would you have carried on with the fight.

if you where a pro boxer and knew you had no chance of winning and got a toe injury... would you carry on with the fight.

Haye is coming out of this not looking that great and that saddens me as i still don't think he sucked as much as i expected him to.
