I've just had another look and with the sound turned up, and yeah, I hear the sound of glass break upon the moment of impact. It makes it a little harder to condone Haye's actions, but still, I'm not too mad at him for doing what he did. The punching at least, anyway. Because as I've said, Chisora's been acting like a right ***** all weekend. Violent and unpredictable. He deserved what he got. Yes, maybe even the glassing. Act like a brainless thug, then don't complain when another one comes along and gives you a taste of your own medicine.
It's perfectly clear that the bottle smashes on impact. I'm really befuddled how anyone could come to any other conclusion based on both the video and pictures we have. Haye messed up...and he's definitely in trouble.
I don't see any broken glass and that liquid looks more like water to me. Booth's cut came from a microphone stand not a glass. Lot of needless butthurt on this board tonight, I doubt Haye is going to risk seriously injuring his own hand by punching holding a glass bottle anyway.
Haye punches with full force, after which the bottle jumps out of Haye's hand. There is no observeable delay in the shatter due to the velocity with which the bottle travels after Haye swings at Chisora. Add to that the fact that Chisora has no damage to his face and you don't see any glass shards on the photo which is taken the split second after Haye connects. The bottle does not shatter on Chisora's face.
Unfortunately for Haye, the police will probably take exception to this. I could have envisioned Haye punching Chisora, but to glass the dude? Very surprised.
You can hear someone, I think its Vitali shouting " David, run. Run, David" when Chisora goes steaming over to confront Haye
I disagree. There would almost certainly be a delay, albeit slight, if the bottle was shattered after the moment of impact. It's instantaneous.
FFS, they are not in a boxing match. They can have all the weaponry in the world and use it against each other for all I care. "He glassed me"
Hayes just shows what a coward he is. He talked Smack..then when someone stood up to him..he hit him with a bottle...
Humm lets see. 1. We hear glass breaking 2. Chisora screams "he glassed me" about 2 thousand times 3. There's a picture of haye with a bottle neck in his hand, water flying and a piece of glass at the moment he struck Chisora. Yea, I can see your logic.
