    Haye threw some jabs to the body, but little else downstairs.

    true piffer def highlighted some problems with the best heavyweigths in the division, looks like if you have the size some basic skills will net you a unification championship.

    The guy is 6'7.

    He has to bend down to go to the body which puts him in striking range.

    I think Wlad's got the fundamentals down considering he was an Olympic Gold Medalist which puts more emphasis on boxing skill than power.

    I dont think the thread starter realizes by throwing body shots super tall guys give up their height. Wlad's whole strategy is keeping people at the end of his shots and at his range.

    Haye was happy to oblige him.

    Past fights show that on rare occasions when Wlad can punch in the body without giving up his advantage - he does it.
    But it doesn't happen often. You may wish more shots, but even though it may look more diverse, it is not nesessary rational.
