How do you rate Wlad's performance against David Haye?

It's tough to really say. Probably 8/10 or 9/10. Haye is a ****ing clown. Young Klitschko did all he could against a guy who simply didn't want to fight. Overextending himself and risking getting countered by Haye (who, despite being a ****ing goof, has decent one-shot power) would have been foolish. I'm glad he picked the clown apart. He dissected a guy who didn't want to engage. That's a good performance. If Haye had been more aggressive he would have gotten his jaw shattered.

 

5/10

After all the **** talking Wlad did the same he always does, win in the most safe way possible. Not good enough.

 

Wlad did all this talking, what he would do to Haye. Pizzaface..... Never has a winner misted so many punches. Haye landed more shots in any round, but who cares, the "right" fighter won................

 

Didn't he average like 3 power punches landed per round

 

I voted 7 to 8, Wlad was very very good. The circumstances around where difficult, the canvas was wet from rain. Haye was very fast and in defensive mode the whole fight. Wlad took some hard shots from Haye but he dominated Haye and won clear. Very good performance from Wlad.

 

Wlad 5/10
Haye 1/10

 

Perfect post. I honestly don't feel compelled to rate either of them. They both suck. That fight was the greatest display of HW flinching of all time.

 

He showed great ring generalship and swept haye 10-2 imo..
Pretty solid perfomance 7 out of 10

 

The people saying 'Wlad did all he could against an opponent who wouldn't fight' are talking absolute bull****.

 

How can people give Wlad 9 or 10 for his performance and in same breath give opponent who he couldn’t hit or hurt only 1 or 2

Surely he should have destroy poorly performing opponent if his own performance was so superb

 

Stop, logic makes my head hurt. There are two rules you need to know.

Anything Klitschko is amazing.

Anything non-Klitschko is bad.

 

Oh please. He outjabbed a guy who only showed up to collect a paycheck without even trying to go for the kill. There was nothing impressive about his performance.

I gave him a "5" for at least mounting some kind of offense unlike Haye.

 

A 6 (and that's being generous) for winning big on the scorecards...

I can't imagine people giving him a 8 or higher for that. I was thoroughly dissapointed in Wladimir's performance and not just for not getting the KO, but not using the multiple opportunities that he got with Haye being off balance and open for a hard right hand.

It wasn't just a boring match because Haye wet his pants and ran and potshot for the entire fight, it was boring because Wlad didn't even took a little chance by just being content winning the rounds on activity and jabs landed. Haye did virtually nothing, and Wlad refused to make him pay for that!

 

7/10. If he didn't hug everytime Haye was inside and done a little infighting it would be higher.

 

Haye, and his game simply wasn't strong enough. Physical part came obvious in the halfway of the first round.

Underrated, tactical fight that kept me unsure of the outcome till tenth.
