But Can We Admit the Fact That...

[Fenster]

Jesus christ!!! Get over it you sad bastard.

The fight was between a man that is CONSTANTLY accused of being BORING, so much so that HBO stopped showing his fights, and a man that averaged 13 punches a round winning the WBA title.

Any hardcore fan that thought it would be Gatti-Ward, just because of Haye's expert promotion and Wlad being so "offended" by Haye's expert promotion, is a gullible fool.

The "excitement" factor was either man could end it with ONE shot. It didn't happen so we got a stinker. End of.

Pretty concise review of the situation.

I would love to hear the HBO commentary for this fight because I have a feeling Larry & Jim were spitting venom

Merchant was disgusted with Haye's performance, and to a lessor degree Lampley was too, I can't say I don't agree.

I was loving the bickering when Merchant corrected Lamps over his phantom right hands.

I tend to spend most of the fights being disgusted with Lamps performances

At the end of the day Haye was supposed to be Wlad's stiffest test, and not some stiff that showed up to run and last 12 rounds and never put forth the effort to even attempt to win.

So after all that trash talk Haye is getting what he deserves.

I dont think you are giving him enough credit there mate

but thats your perogative, you can do what you wanna do, its the way that you want to live

[El Kabong]

Giving who enough credit erics44? Haye? Why would he deserve any to begin with? He talked trash, sold the fight, and then just played "4 corners offense" for 12 rounds! It was crap and I was 100% correct in calling him out 2-3 years ago as just a loud mouthed punk.




*A note to those who aren't familiar with the "4 corners offense" its a basketball term and was an offense made use of before the shot clock came into being. Players would spread out and pass the ball back and forth and waste lots of time before even attempting a basket.

Nobody was expecting Gatti-Ward, genius. We WERE, however.... expecting a decent fight. Is that too much to ask? Even from a "boring" fighter and a loud-mouth idiot? It WAS, after all, a heavyweight championship fight. Or are your standards so low you don't give a shit how fights turn out?

It was "a stinker.... end of"? That's precisely my point, genius. My point is that boxing desperately needs a good heavyweight fight and/or rivalry..... and under this desperation people are willing to believe things they wouldn't normally believe. And they bought into Haye's hype. I myself haven't watched too many Haye fights, so I'm not the authority you are (obviously) as far as what Haye's chances were against Wlad.

While you and a few others are quick to dismiss Haye's disgraceful showing as "just another stinker", I choose to wring my hands a little bit over the disappointment I and few others felt with the fight. But I know you're smugly above it all, with your witty comments and all that.

You look at it as just another "stinker"....... I look at it as a major disappointment.
NOW it's end of.
