    I remember watching this fight when having an absolute splitter of a headache and it was oddly soothing. I quite liked it, personally.

    Haye was never buzzed. It was Haye who landed the best shot of the fight. Compu box counted the majority of power shots landed by Haye.
    Haye was a backfoot ambush style fighter. Wlad didn't put him there , that's where he wanted to be.

    Time stamp all the times Haye was buzzed. Or give the rounds and time frame.

    That's the hardest and best blow K landed on Haye. Doesn't look buzzed to me.
    If you show me the handful of times Haye was buzzed ill delete my account

    Both landed some good shots on each other in rounds 3/4/12. I didn't mean buzzed as in seriously hurt which obviously didn't happen but as in they felt the other man's power and then took a step back to adjust a little.

    A Master's Class by the heavyweight who will go down as the GOAT within a generation of his retirement.

    As others have said it was not the most exciting fight, but at least it simplified the heavyweight picture.

    Haye was a cruiserweight.
    If beating him makes K the Goat then Tony Bellew moving up to cruiser and blowing Junior Makabu away in 3 rounds makes him the Goat as well , because that's a more impressive win and more importantly performance

    Haye was the same size as prime Ali. Does that make Ali a cruiserweight?

    I remember missing this fight because of a hard day at work, the next day my friend and I were sitting in an olive grove commenting on how crappy the fight was...

    Started off when Haye sort him out & confronted him on an elevator somewhere & seemed aggrieved that the division had Wlad as champion .. acting like he was some sort of knight in shining corn rows here to restore some form of rose tinted dignity to the flailing division once more.. Haye became a rival HW champion, they agreed to fight, they built it up as some huge milestone in HW history almost.. even Lennox was calling Haye the next Ali.. the hype was unreal, Haye promised thunder & lightning... then came fight night.. Haye came out to aint no stopping us now , flopped around the ring a lot, winged in a few sloppy hayemakers, fought extremely negatively, basically got whitewashed .. then blamed his toe.

    That's about it.

    Yeah, my vague memory (correct me if I’m wrong) is that Haye did ‘soccer injury’ flops every time Wlad got close to him and then said he lost because of his big toe.

    The whole thing was just a joke. I’m surprised to learn this was considered a real major fight by some.
