After watching the fight over for a second time it appears he was missing badly and looked slow as hell.The only thing that keep him in the fight was his jab and looking at the fight for the second time a lot of those jabs were missing.He constantly keep pulling Haye behind the neck and putting all his weight on him.That's a dirty tactic that some fighters use to get there opponents legs tired Floyd does that **** in his fights also.
Well he was fighting probably the moist athletic and agile heavyweight out there,so his missing is hardly shocking. David Haye is a bit different from Samuel Peter when it comes to movement!
Which makes my point a fighter his size that has the head movement and a good jab will give him problems.
haye had good head movement but he was still getting hit with a lot of jabs sometimes a right hand or a rare left hook. meanhwile he rarely landed big on klitschko who took a step back and blocked his attack. dominating win
This is why i cant understand why Haye has been accused of running away from Wlad, he spent quite a bit of time directly in front of Wlad trying to create counter punch opportunities, he was bound to get hit with the jab every so often but seeing as Wlad is supposed to have an ATG jab i didnt see that much evidence of it.
He did as good as he had to just jabbed stalked cut off the ring Haye did nothing to win rounds or threaten so he did what he had too without falling into traps giving up height or letting haye hava chance Haye was content to retreat and lose rounds Wlad was content to win Sure it would have been nice for Wlad to be a little more aggressive but it would have been better if Haye fought at all it takes two to tango and ive said for years that its not wlad but his opponents inability to make it interesting Haye fought like Kevin Johnson and Dirrel
Wlad look bad cause Hate didn't commit to anything. Both guys fought cautiously but Haye was way more defensive and feared to engage more.
I agree. A lot of people thought this would be Wladimir's defining fight and it's a shame for him that it didn't turn out that way. He basically did what he always does; stay in the centre of the ring, boxing at long range and working his jab. He never gained his 50th KO victim (as he had promised) and he never really punished Haye (as he had promised). He still looked tentative and didn't really take any chances. Neither fighter launched any kind of sustained assault and neither fighter came close to stopping the other. The only positive attribute that Haye showed was impressive reflexes; he displayed very good head and upper body movement and made Wladimir miss regularly. But what was his gameplan? Surely throwing wild swings from the outside can't have been his gameplan? Haye was just as cautious as Wladimir and he never really took any chances either. What we essentially had was eleven rounds of posing, posturing and feinting (only the last round was mildy entertaining). Haye's broken toe seemed like a flimsy excuse. Afterwards, I was thinking about the horrific nose injury that Rocky Marciano suffered in his rematch with Ezzard Charles back in 1954, in which Rocky incredibly fought through the pain to win with a terrific KO. It was noticeable that Haye limped out of the ring. But if a broken toe caused him to limp, why wasn't he limping when entering the ring?
