Haye vs. Thompson

Oh god.... some people here are going way way overboard. Does Macca have one of the best chins in the world then? He took at least 2 flush shots from Haye and didn't even blink. Then, the third one (I think it was #3) hurt him and Haye finished him with a series of shots. And even then Macca got up... yes, he was wobbly and in no condition to continue, but he did get up. Sorry, but the hardest hitting p4p would not need so many flush punches to KO Macca

 

3 is now so many punches. All of which Macca saw. one of which had him out on his feet.

Dont tell me I need to explain any more than he saw the punch that hurt him.

To ask, how many flush right hands did Pavlik hit Taylor with or Hearns before he knocked Duran the **** out?

:smoke

 

Come on I want a response.

:smoke

 

Also the flush shots Haye landed before the main one, were not on the chin. They landed clean but on the cheek. The moment he tagged the chin and Mac was done.

Regardless, Cunningham cannot take those shots for several rounds and does not pose any of the offensive threat that Mac did.

 

:good

 

i think the cat was very underated , he was a first rate pro, could box, excellent power , always in top condition and a wbo champ, anyone who beats eubank twice must be decent.

 

Murderous punching former champ beats naieve 11 fight novice

(i can never spell that word)

 

that's what i mean by novice, he clearly wasn't conditioned properly and was expecting an early night. he also wasn't experienced enough to clinch and cover up when in trouble.

 

I love the way you pretend to offer compliments to Haye when in fact this thread is a Haye bashing thread.

He didn't outsmart Haye, he was a fighter with a great ability to soak up real punishment and come back. Haye was someone who was doing zero road work, and going out partying constantly. He was not dedicated to training and relied upon his power alone.

He had never been past 4 rounds in his entire career and came out looking to bomb Thompson out. He totally gassed and somehow Thompson hung in there.

There was no smarts just great toughness and resilience from Thompson and poor preparation from Haye.

It was the best thing that could have happened to him, as he would only have been exposed later on and on a bigger stage if he had not had to go back to the drawing board and realise that natural speed and power alone are not enough at the highest level.

Haye was a rookie and to try and insinuate that this fight has any bearing on what he is like as a fighter now is pretty stupid. Put it this way, at the same stage of his career as when Haye stepped in with Thompson (a world champion coming off a fantastic KO win over Rothmann), your man Cunningham fought Caseny Truesdale who has a record of 7-41-2 and who has been KO'd 37 times in his career.

 

"outsmarting" = letting another man land many big, clean punches on your face and head in hopes that he eventually gets tired? :think

 

Really?, Thompson was the favorite?. :huh

 

This version was a riddle even for Wlad to figure out.. Anone who thinks this would be an easy fight for Haye is seriously underselling Thompsons abilities while overrating Hayes.
