good vid...HAye looks so slow compared to an actual fight...think its a light workout. NOTE: Listen to the stuid daily express reported....shows you why our press build up fighters like Calzaghe so readily with weak resumes "VALUEV is an Impressive fighter, best chin in boxing"....WTF!!!!!!!!!! Why half of our British fans are complete mugs they listen and read that type of journalism week in week out. http://www.skysports.com/video/inline/0,26691,12602_5563404,00.html
I clicked that link and it was just an interview. * edit* Never mind, i found the workout link there.
His hand speed looked fine to me in the last 30 seconds of that vid. compare that hand speed to any other HW and it will look like it's in fast forward
Haye will do the job, he needs to. Im a fan but this is whole saga of getting a fight has gone on way too long, he needs to put on a masterclass against valuev.
Watch on 3:37... when Haye hits Boothe with the right hand Boothe was looking to give Haye something to duck but Haye hits the pad that hard he knocks Boothe out of screenshot and the swing Boothe intended David to duck misses Haye by about 2 feet. The dude packs a punch
You'll tend to find that is more the general boxing fan who doesn't have enough of their own knowledge to dispute what the journalists are saying
Why does Haye keep saying Valuev is 7'2? Valuev is a confirmed 7'0 (probably with shoes on). Probably to make his victory seem greater (if he indeed shows up for the fight)...
no doubt haye has the tools, can't wait to see him fight. apart from the K's, i don't think anyone in the division is more likely to KO valuev than haye
Can't wait for the fight, hopefully Haye puts on a masterclass and then delivers against the Klitschko brothers next year. He is the only HW out there thats a genuine threat to them.
