Haye goes down from a jab in the fourth (if your watching sky it was a slip) then goes down from a left hook at the end of the sixth which he bravely gets up from. He then runs for the entire seventh round and into the eighth until he screws up his spacing as he's skirting around the ropes and Wlad nails him with a monster combo. Wlad slips back into his natural awesomely aggressive style and after 30 seconds of flying leather Wlad lands with another left hook and Haye goes down (chambers style). After the fight Haye will have made his money and will have nothing further to say about Wlad in a negative light.
Wlad won't throw a hard right untill he is absolutely sure Haye has nothing left. Hell, he wouldn't even let his hands go vs Eddie Chambers untill Chambers was exhausted.
Watch Valuev fight again. If that big slob knew how to and when to throw a left hook fight would be over pretty soon. Left hook is Wlad specialty.
It was round 2. :thumbsup Why did WALDO go back to being cautious & extremely saftey-first until the very last moment of the fight after that? Chambers is a decent boxer, but WALDO had him badly rocked early & should've unleased bombs in combination like he used to with Tommy Brooks. Eddie is featherfisted anyway, so it wouldn't have been remotely risky to open up & finish him.
Chambers was very defensive. Wladimir tried to make him open up so he could land something big but Eddie just never got out of his shell. Remember Chambers fight vs Povetkin who has a different style then Wlad. Povetking didn't try to make Chambers open up, he went foreward himself and unloaded comboes on him but only landed a total of like 20%.
Haye goes down in the first, gets up, stumbles around and prays for the ref to stop it so he can turn around and say it was an early stoppage and the ref was biased.
