Thats a total myth. If Haye was only in survival mode than why.t.f was Wlad illegally holding and pushing him down every round?
He even got a point defected for it. IN Germany , his own back yard.

Haye made ample effort throughout the fight and was met bear housing and octopus tactics. It was acutally Haye that was going for it more than Wlad was. Haye clearly tried to fight while inside , Wlad only wanted to hold on.
It should have been Haye holding on and trying to survive ffs.
You're right about the 12th though. The only significant punch of the fight was landed by Haye , not Wlad.
He was lucky his corrupt ref allowed him ride out the storm ontop of Haye's back piece because he was momentarily buzzed and staggered.

Haye made ample effort? Wrong. He took a solid right hand in the 5th round and basically withdrew from the fight with Wlad.

The judges score cards were good, no one in boxing felt Haye won the fight outside of his own people.

Judge: Michael Pernick 118-108

Judge: Adalaide Byrd 117-109

Judge: Stanley Christodoulou 116-110

Yep, Wlad is one if the most difficult opponents you could conjure up for Ali. Fury too, btw.

Wlad was one-dimensional but the thing he did best he did exceptionally well. And that was keeping smaller fighters on the end of his straight punches.

Any smaller fighter would have an extremely hard time trying to counter Wlad, so they would have to wade into the killing zone to do damage and that wasn't the strong suit of either Ali or Tubbs.
