HAYE vs THOMPSON VId....

where's the vid?

 

Thanks, this is an awesome fight, total war.

Carl Thompson is a legend.

 

i love it right at the end! david hayes career is in taters, it would of been taters if he was 36 and lost in that way but not when ur still learning, silly thing to say from the commentator! espically as how david was very ill prepared for that fight , that fight done him good made him train more and focus more on boxing than partys

 

ok yeah, HAYE deff punched himself out, it is crystal clear.

Jesus could Haye have landed more flush power shots?

Haye's power wont mean anything at heavyweight.

By the way Thompson was 40 years old in this fight!!!!!!!!!

 

Haye might not be the banger at heavy that he is now, but you are missing some key factors. Firstly he was not training properly when he fought Thompson, he was out clubbing and was not as strong, fit or powerful as he is now.
Secondly he struggles to make Cruiser and finds that his power comes much more naturally at heavy with far less effort.
Finally Thompson was famous for his ability to soak up horrendous punishment and keep coming back. He managed to semi block a lot of the power shots from Haye on the gloves and even though they landed some of the sting was taken out.

Haye hits harder now than he did then, Haye is fitter now than he was then and his overall dedication to the sport is also much improved.

Great vid. Haye looked borderline flabby compared to how he looks now!

 

Wow, let's hear more excuses. What else? Didn't he get enough sleep that night? Wasn't he allowed to eat his favourite spaghetti before the fight? It's got nothing to do with vaseline right?
The matter of fact is he was floored by, among others, a feather-fisted SMW journeyman and stopped by a 40 year old senior citizen. I hear other guys getting bashed all the time for making excuses, why should it be different with Haye?

 

What are you on about? You know **** all about me. I have posted here numerous times that Haye has a poor chin, that he will get starched by Wlad. I have followed him since the amateur ranks, and I know exactly how good or bad his chin is and I am not making excuses.

It is very simple, the Thompson fight is a poor way to judge him. Should we judge Wlad on his fight against Ross Purrity?
Should we judge Hopkins on losing his first fight?

Haye was going in with a very resilient, hard hitting veteran. Haye at that time WAS going out clubbing constantly. I have spoken to him as have several of the UK posters, I have asked him about his weaknesses and he is pretty candid about his flaws and about how he was in the past in regards to training.

Simply put, the fact that he did not put away Thompson in his 11th pro fight does not mean his power will be useless at heavyweight.

 

Haven't seen that in a while, Haye's composure and finishing skills have improves a lot.
