Im not glorifying his performance. I said that I would have liked to see him go for the KO harder than he did. However, he still fought a good fight against a dangerous puncher who is also pretty elusive. Wlad definitely showed ring IQ, he cut off the ring every time Haye tried to go past him. Every step Haye took, Wlad was already there. I dont see how this is not ring smarts.
would love to see haye - arreola for the simple fact that if by some reason chris won he could finally beat a top 20 hw (hayes actually like top 5 but thats not the point). haye would mop up arreola if he fights like he did tonight. Its not that Haye is great (tho he looked very good today) its that arreola's not much and haye would be too quick
