You know a rematch is coming. It makes too much sense.. Cause even though the first fight was less than great, the rematch is still the biggest money fight in the division. I think Lampley said both fighters made something like 15 or more million each today. I say we'll see a rematch before the end of the year.:good I would not doubt if its already been somewhat planned out.
He hurt Wlad late in the fight. His defense made him VERY hard to hit, even Wlad said so in the post fight interview. I say a rematch is certainly warranted. And given what else is out there, its still the biggest fight in the division. Even though he didn't engage enough, I think Haye's speed, power, and defensive slickness proved he is no mere lamb led to slaughter. He is no pushover and is certianly a legit threat. I'd rather see Haye Wlad II than any other Wlad fight, by FAR.
Not sure if a second fight would be as big. Would HBO show it again? Doubt it. Would it be PPV in UK? Doubt it. Haye has now no belts, he brings nothing to the table title wise and money wise I am not sure if a fight vs Haye now makes Wlad more money than a fight against some random opponent in Germany. Haye would have to go and get a mandatory status with one of the organizations. Not sure if he has the guts and interest to do that.
Wasnt close to warrant a rematch...it was more or less a shutout to my eyes. Disapointed with Haye..was much LESS brave than I hoped he might be after all the talk.
I always thought Haye had nothing to lose and would go all out early on, betting the farm. Either win big or go out on his shield. I mean did anyone really think that he could drive home a Valuev type decision, fighting a stinker on his backfoot again? Who thought of this BS plan. Was this Adam Booth's grand plan they were talking about so confidently? Really weird.
We know already Haye will run again in a rematch or against a fight w VK, and i dont blame him.He proved he can stay away and connect a few shots-but never enough to win.He will never engaged.And he shoudnt.I actually believed he will get caught at some point and lose by KO,but he managed to stay away and last 12 rds.You shoudnt expect more.
Rematch...WTF, dude he didn't deserve this match, and when he talked himself into it he did ****ing NOTHING. Who in the **** would want to see a rematch of that shitfest? I guess I might watch Vitali kick his ass, but I'm not even sure that would sell, to be honest.
My hope exactly! I would LOVE to see Vitali go after Haye. Vitali would go in for the kill no doubt. I'm sure he would eat some punches but hey ...it's not like they would fend him off. Lol
What the hell were you watching. That was an awful borefest. Wlad did what he always does, and Haye did nothing he said he was going to. He proved nothing except that he's about on the same level as all the other slags that have eaten WK jabs for 12 rounds and done nothing in retaliation. The only thing he did was manage avoid the KO. I guess that makes him 5 seconds better than Eddie Chambers. If you took the top 10 HWs right now, he'd probably go about .500 against them.
Haye KO 1 in the rematch if his toe doesn't betray him again and if he doesn't backpedal constantly and look at the ref every thirty seconds like he wants the fight to be stopped before he shits his pants in fear.
