Sky Sports: "Haye turned in a heroic performance"

Oh Gawd Sky Sports.

 

Larry Merchant tells how it is. Everyone else is owned by the $.

 

They have toes for brains

 

Sky/Fox. All owned by Rupert Murdoch's News International Corporation. And yes, a lot of us can see straight through media bull****, but as with any country, the vast majority of people are brain dead.

 

We are aware that out sports related media is...crap.

 

haha truely epic.

 

Stop generalising. You honestly think 90% of us are morons? we've done pretty well throughout history considering we are supposedly morons then...

 

The british people lap up the media's propaganda driven drivel . That's why you had so many ingerlanders, acting like hooligans and booing national anthems while thinking david haye was going to breeze past Vlad because of his speed.

What's funny they do it with all their sportsman, andy murray was hyped up this Wimbledon and got his arsed owned by Nadal. What's great is he's scottish but england want to make it out as if he's one of their own becuse of his small success in tennis.

Then you have the football/soccer national team that is driven on hype with no substance and you get the whole idea of what britiain is based on.

 

Oh god.

What was it that caused him to pull out of the first Wladdy fight? His finger? His back? Did he ever get the story straight?

How about stinking it up in the Valuev fight? Hurt his hand or something.

There is always an excuse. Basically, the guy knows if an even moderately hard punching full blown heavy hit him on he jaw he goes down.

 

In America, "***" means gay. I heard that in England, "***" means cigarette.

In America, "hero" means: a man of distinguished courage or ability, admired for his brave deeds and noble qualities. What does it mean in England?

 

The more I live in the country the more am I lead to believe that it's been changed to mean "brave"...but I'm no longer sure...

 

I dont' think it was terrible at all. Sugar Ray Leonard fought a defensive fight in 1987 against Hagler to win the fight. Sometimes you have to. I think Haye fought well, he just had too many things against him. I am surprised he went 12. The only question I have is does he really want to be great to be able to turn this fight into something he can learn from to win a title again. Leonard did it with Duran and Hearns did with Leonard. We will see.

 

Sky is hilarious. This was heroic? Not trying to win is heroic now? These days going 12 rounds Wlad was heroic now because he didn't get knocked out?

Haye fought an Ibragimov style stinker and there's nothing hero-like in that. Somewhere around round 6-7 they forget trying to win and just tried to survive, turning the fight into a one-sided affair.

Also looking to the ref begging for help once or twice a round a la Dirrell doesn't really make you look like a warrior and hero.

 

Only the sports journalism. Nothing beats Fox News and it's viewers for utter stupidity though.
