What was illegal? Watch round 3 when Haye clearly headbutt Barrett right on the chin that knockdown Barrett ( i said elbow earlier but i forgot it was the headbutt) In the 4th round the first knockdown in the 4th round Barrett was off balance but when Barrett went down, Haye clearly hit Barrett while he was down. Go watch that first knockdown in the 4th round and you tell me it wasn't a punch from Haye that land Barrett while Barrett went down. I find it funny that after the 4th round ended, they only show the replay of the second knockdown in the 4th round that was a legal shot by Haye. In the 5th round Barrett did knockdown Haye with a left hook and i admit Barrett hit Haye while Haye went down but how come the ref deducted a point away from Barrett if Haye did the same in the 4th round? Hmm could it be the ref was there to make sure Haye wins the fight no matter what?
Word has it that Dave Haye is a homo...atsch I can't see some blown-up Cruiser beating Vitali Klitschko........:-( Klit is THE MAN!:good MR.BILL:bbb
That's the fight I saw too. Vitali started slow and Gomez had some early success with his aggression but VK adjusted & won every round after the first.
I guess you haven't noticed Haye's lack of defense huh? He gets hit way too easily by lesser fighters than the Klitschkos..................
Bull. Sanders had faster hands than Haye. Haye would be KO'd inside of three rounds if he fights Vitali
I hope this Haye guy gets starched again to end this brutal hype. Man fans talking about stamina os Vitaly, a fighter that always fight this way with hi mouth open and fights until latter rounds. But they forgot that Haye was completly tired in the middle rounds and got starched by a old journeyman. Man fans are sometimes blind.
I feel truly enlightened by your intelligent and insightful input. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.
Haye is fast, but what makes you say he won't be gassed after 4-5 hard rounds with VK? Will he be fast then? I don't think so. At any rate he wouldn't starch VK, who is still tough and has a good chin. He wouldn't put him away in a few rounds. As it is, Haye has proven nothing at HW, NOTHING. Had he fought a better opponent than Monte Barrett in his last fight some questions might have been answered about his chin and stamina, but as it is now he still ain't got no chin and no stamina in my book...
Vitai has mastered a style that works very well for his body mechanics. At 6'8, he doesn't need texbook technique or look pretty, but what counts is hit and not being hit and he is one of the most effective fighters in the world. He is one of the very few boxers who never had an opponent look good against him. Vitali can move in any direction to evade punches, his jab comes from weird angles which throws opponents of his game plan. Since Lennox Lewis reitred, there has been noone who can afford to trade with him. And thos who say he is slow: you clearly don't understand the workings of the human eye and brain. A small cessna looks faster to us than a 747, because it is faster in relation to it's size when in fact it is far slower in absolute speed. A tall, lanky guy like Vitali will never look fast. But how come that supposedly faster fighters have never been able to take advantage of him? Like Donald, Hide, Sanders? Because they found out in the ring that Vitali isn't slow at all.
