From what I remember he was just caught square on and stumbled back into the ropes. Definitely not hurt.
cannot believe ppl on here think haye will tko klitsch - i want haye to win but just cannot see it - we know what a crap fight valuev was but cmon this is no valuev - really think haye will have a long night dancing around b4 his tko
if haye has found it hard to ko other heavy weights then its gonna be even harder knocking out the no 1 - ive wathed these kiltschos for yrs now and their solid - just dont know how haye will come close
Weight drained? Was that when he was undisputed CW Champ? He cant take a shot,he wasnt weight drained when Monte put him down and the fact is hes NEVER been hit by a Heavyweight who can punch yet. He does show great heart by getting back up after being dropped but again,getting dropped by Wladimir will be on another level to getting dropped by guys like Mormeck and Lolenga Mock. Both men have crap chins but at least Wlad knows what its like to get hit by true HW power.Haye doesnt......Yet.
He was weight drained at Crusier.... The Barrett Knockdown was him in transition square on...it does happen in boxing. Edit: 8:41 He's got both hands down and is caught square. First shot doesn't hurt him it's the illegal one that probably buzzed him which it would anyone. Anyways he gets up and completes the job a minute later.

Have a feeling someone is defiantly getting knocked out in this fight. Haye chance is to do the job early but Wladimir could easily end the fight as quick. Both guys have dodgy chins but Wladimir knows what it's like to be hit by heavyweights where as Haye hasn't felt the power of a true heavyweight puncher. The difference I see is - If Haye ends up on the canvas, he is defiantly finished and there is no way back for him - with Wlad there is a chance he could survive due to his experience (he has got up off the canvas many times before). I hope Haye if the chance is presented doesn't get to careless in finishing the job, as Wladlimir is still a dangerous man when hurt.
A knockdown rarely mentioned. Wlad manages to recover well here but once again reaffirms my belief if you throw in bunches you land one and the shot that i keep seeing him hit with is the half hook/jab fake and right hand over. Wlad always concentrates on the first shot but his defence struggles with any punches that come directly with it because he has lead hand to far out in front.

And why is that going to be that hard? Mormeck hit him,slow,old Fragomeni hit him,Barret hit him,Ruiz hit him. Wlad isnt Valuev plodding round the ring in slow motion flicking out a child like jab. Well he wasnt drained his whole career so when did this draining start to have an affect on his chin and ability to take a shot? He was down to light hitting Mock in 03,Thompson in 04 and Mormeck in 07.they cant all be because he was drained. Yeah but whatever reason or excuse you're giving, the fact is old slow Monte had him down and the ref made a mistake and didnt call it.Haye didnt make any excuses for it,he called it how it was : http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/boxing/7727154.stm The step up from Ruiz and Harrison imo will become very apparent for Haye very quickly.
Pannell in 98 really? We might as well bring up Haye crawling round the ring after being dropped by Jim Twite aswell.
