I just watched Haye vs Klitsckho. Why was Haye doing all those burpees in the fight?

    He was not off balance or anything I feel. Was it because he didn't want Wlad leaning on him?

    It was the sore toe for sure. Take away the ouchie tootsie and Haye decapitates him (just like his tshirt showed).

    Haye was a "bum" (in his own terms).

    Wlad illegally drapes his weight on everyone's neck and back, to tire them out as part of a tall person foul strategy. You have to look like a beach to complain about it, have a physical or technical ability to avoid all of it, every single time, or just suffer through it. Haye chose the first option. Yet he was not really wrong. The ref just doesn't do their job with the A side pulling stuff like that.

    He was just too weak for Klitschko and refused to clinch with him. Tried to get Wlad penalized (which he did), but he also got the point deducted as the ref finally caught up to his BS and called a knockdown. He was on the floor like 6 times.

    Haye didn't quite master keeping balance plus Wlad kept him on the back foot with his aggressive footwork.

    Typical Haye. Talked a big game and brought **** all. I’m actually surprised he didn’t find an injury to get him out of this fight.

    I remember around this time Haye getting looked upon as a chance with the prime Foreman’s and Frazier’s lol. I knew those guys would kill him and thankfully a tubby lt heavyweight in Tony Bellew beat the **** out of him twice to confirm this.

    Haye was all mouth and full of ****.

    He did especially the way he kept calling out Wladimir aswell I expected a much better showing from Haye.

    In the words of Jason Statham in Snatch

    "What are you doing mate, you're dancing around like a fairy get in there and hurt him"

    To emphasise that Wlad was holding and leaning, a tactic material to the latter's strategy, in attempt to get the ref to warn Wlad against it and/or deduct a point from him.

    It worked for a while, until Wlad's corner kicked up a fuss at the point deduction, which seemed to influence the ref, who later deducted a point from Haye for doing the same thing that led to Wlad's point deduction, I.e. flopping to the floor under the weight of Wlad's lean.
