It ain't all of a sudden. There are plenty of folk who saw the valuev performance for what it was, not some mastercalss of slick boxing off the back foot. If the realisation hadn't dawned by then about exactly what Haye was then there's no hope for you.
The positives are that his chin is nowhere as bad as made out, his stamina was decent andhis lateral movement/defense has come on leaps and bounds since his cruiserweight days. He can come again no doubt! its just as simple as Wlad being that level or 2 above Haye and it showed as his ring generalship was supreme with the way he controlled the centre and made Haye do all the moving around, that jab is wasy faster than most thought too. I said all along Wlad would win but I thought a late ko was on the cards. Finally to conclude, for everything Haye has done in boxing he has let everyone down with taht shitty excuse and his whole hyping of the fight with his crass attiutude and arrogant demeanour, the better man won and not only in boxing terms but in human terms too. All the best Wlad...
