    A Haye fight will always be exciting which is why he's the future of the HW division. He will lose some on the way, but he has a fantastic attitude and will duck no one

    Ok, I watched the vids. Mormeck is in BIG trouble here.

    This Haye impressed me.

    i'm a big Mormeck fan, but wouldn't be shocked if Haye wins it it in five or six.

    Haye should be fed soft american heavey weights before he is ready for the eastern block champs.

    Haye was an excellent amateur (silver medal in the World Championship), but suprisingly decided to turn pro before the 2004 Olympics, which was a big mistake IMO.

    As a pro he suffered from Frank Bruno syndrome, the fighters who normally give you experience are blown out too early. He really struggled early on against an African fighter (Lolenga Mock), were he was very lucky to gain a win.

    His early flaws were exposed by Carl Thompson.

    Since then he has learnt a lot, this culminated in a show of great heart in beating Fragomeni.

    He has excellent power, very good boxing skills, seems to of overcome stamina issues, but his chin is on the soft side, and he has been cut up.

    I don't understand... Mormeck is WAY past it, he just got his titles back in a hard fight and he takes the most dangerous guy out there (with Cunnimgham)... He is 35, normally he would get easy meat to defend his titles couple of time before hanging up.
    Now he is going to lose them again ... and going to get knock out again.

    Props to him. Really.

    He totally steamed out in the fifth, he could barely stand and throw a punch, and Carl took him. He was dominating Carl before hand

    this is all very true. Hey, i'm British and saying this about a Frenchman: Mormeck is a bloody legend. Good man, underrsted fighter. But he still gets ko-ed by the Hayemaker.

    Haye tried to blow out Thompson early. He blasted The Cat all around the ring in the first and for the first two minutes of round two. But then Thompson started to land a few a jolting jabs to keep Haye honest at the end of the round.

    In round three Thompson took over, firing heavy left and rights as Haye seemed unable to move away and was resorting to one punch bombs rather than the combinations of the first two rounds.

    In round four, Haye gave it one final go, pushing Thompson back and trying to regain authorite. It failed and Thompson seems to be able to nail Haye at will.

    In round five Thompson continued his domminance Haye fell from a left hook the ref gave him an eight count, a big right upercut staggered Haye into the ropes and then Haye's corner threw in the towel.

    He was only Ko'ed though because he punched himself out against Thompson and temple shots can hurt anyone and temples aren't on the chin.:yep

    No chin! What the hell are you talking about? Give me examples please, and i'll counter them easily!

    And its already known he has improved his stamina tenfold
