Of course it was a great shot. But one punch shouldn't be nearly enough to get you another title shot when you clearly got beat by Wlad. However that's not up to me to decide. If Haye gets a gift and fights Vitali so be it. But even if you're a Haye fan you have to admit he should work his way back up the latter especially when he's made excuses such as blaming his toe for his lack of aggression. Arreola didn't blame his loss to Vit on his weight problem. Instead he admitted defeat, knew what he has to work on, and is climbing his way back up for another shot. I gave Haye credit the moment he signed the contract to fight Wlad. I am not going to talk like Haye is the 3rd or 4th best HW and still is a huge threat to either Klit. Haye has to earn that kind of status.
That occurs once every fight to every big fighter. The fact that Haye could only do that once in 36 pure minutes of boxing is not only pitiful but totally disgusting.
Because he talked a ton of **** and didn't even try to back it up because he was scared of getting hurt. Also, the fact that you carefully watched 12 rds desperate to find one good moment for Haye and then posted it up is hilarious.
at people saying that Haye did good because he maybe won one round and managed to land a couple good power punches in 12 rounds. Haye proved beyond doubt that the only reason he got that fight was because of his amazing ability to delude people (including Klitschko) by talking. He never believed he had a chance in that fight, and the way he fought for 12 rounds is concrete proof. **** Haye.
Haye has since said something to the effect of the better man won/ it just wasn't to be his nite. He backed off of the toe excuse and admitted it would not have made a difference.
He landed more than that one shot. The one shot didn't mark Wlad's face up, and being marked up was something rare for Wlad, that even he, himself commented on. Not to be defensive, but I posted that 12th round shot cause it was his best, most damaging punch. And because it shows Haye still has power to hurt someone that late in the fight. Haye didn't live up to his own hype, no, certainly not. But he was not thrashed as one sidedly as some want to think.
I want haye back. First vs Barrett2, then vs Potvetkin so he can get a paper strap as leverage for some loot, then vs Vitali so he can get a final payday in another lopsided K2 UD. For all the excitement he has created, he at least deserves that much. Hell, Mike was getting 12 mi for KOing Spinks in 2 seconds.:rofl
Lol...so dude spoils the entire fight, flops around on floor begging for assistance from the ref, threw no more than 8-9 punches per round, and because he lands 1 decent shot in the 12th...he did well? When you have to make a post highlighting a single punch the man landed in the entire fight, that should tell you all you need to know, he got dominated and couldn't back up his big talk, period.
His performance was a disgrace, man. He got that fight by deceit, he tricked everyone into thinking that he might have a decent chance and that he actually believed he could beat Wlad. And from the moment the first bell sounded he got in survival mode, NEVER actually trying to win the fight, just making sure he wouldn't get knocked out. And he received a massive paycheck for all that. The only reason he was promising fireworks and a vicious KO win, was to make sure he got that paycheck, while suffering minimum damage.
When 9-3 is the best score you earned, you got your ass kicked. But dude, what the **** does it matter, I mean what point are you trying to make, "Haye didn't get his ass handed to him "that" bad"...Ok breh, conceeded, it wasn't "that" bad...bad as ****, but not "that" bad. :nut
That was nice bomb that stunned Wlad but he clearly recovered fast while using his weight to tire Haye. If it would have landed perfectly Wlad would've got count. Now he attacked back right after ref separated them. That was much more exciting fight than Chambers//Ruiz etc were.
So Haye is relegated to getting A PUNCH, ONE PUNCH vs the Klit? Seriously, you guys are making it worse for Haye not better. You are making it more pathetic than it really it needs to be.
