Vitali could still use the boost to his record. Haye never was going to retire as long as there is more money to con out of his fans, and if they didn't give up on him after the previous pull-outs with Wlad and Vitaly, and the fiasco's with Valuev and Audley, they sure won't give up on him after this. Already we are hearing the crying about broken toes and being a blown up cruiser (after we had to hear that he was actually a natural heavy and his chin would be better there), so this would be marketable.
Haye proved he's all talk and doesn't really want, or even know how, to engage. It'd be the same thing we just saw. It would be awful. Haye needs to go back and fight some of the other top 10 contenders so we can find out where he really stands among them. Today he only proved that he's the same as everyone else against the K Bros.
Vitali has a date with Adamek first so Mr. Toeriffic will have to wait his turn or retire like the loser he is.
Trust me. Wlad made a better account of himself in this fight than David `I have a boo boo on my pinky toe`Haye. Back to the UK circuit for another fight with Audley than.
We'll see when it comes time for his next fight and nobody outside of Germany and a few mugs watching on a 10 inch portable in Ukraine care.
Haye is a joke now. If he beats several contenders like Arreola, Chambers etc. and build himself up again--maybe. By that time Vitali will be 41-42.
Youre talking pure nonsense. Wlad has made more money and has seen more US prime time than Haye will ever have. Above all, he is a totally superior fighter than Haye, as proven be his domination of Davey boy from round 1 through 12. Even the totally biased UK commentators gave Wlad 10 rounds.
People are being pretty hard on Haye I think...the guy won a few rounds at least and it was pretty much expected that he was going to lose big if he couldn't get Klit out of there. More credit should be given to Wlads chin and improved confidence. The right hand he took in the 12th was a fight ending punch.
To be as old as dirt, that old man is sure steemrolling EVERYONE he faces. Aging should be this bad on all of us, right?:good
Haye literally has nothing that would trouble Vitali. Not enough power, no volume, no technique, no heart. Vitali does not fight with Wlads caution either so he would just knock him out whenever hed want too.
