Nah, not a dive.. he got hit HARD by Haye... but he didn't belong in that ring.. and mentally he wasn't prepared to fight Haye either.... they would have been better off getting a career opponent who knows how to lose correctly than a guy like de Mori who has fought nothing but cabbies and over-the-hill nobodies. I get put him soft.. but this was a guy scared to even fight... who had no technique.. and no ability to throw a decent punch.. he was a scared Tough Guy contest winner.
well I agree, but he didn't really have to do much moving as Mori was like a big brick in there so kinda hard to know for sure.
All we learned from that is De Mori was as his record suggests a Class E fighter who got pulverised by someone in a different league. He clearly had no confidence of winning, soon as one right hand landed he just let David Haye in and Haye took the invite. Haye now needs to stay active and work his way up again, a fight against Whyte would make sense, or perhaps Tarver/Stiverne/Takam and then he needs to get into a mandatory position.
