Haye was shitting his pants in there. He NEVER wanted that fight. He did create some hype though, and for that I give him credit. Sadly that is the only credit he gets, because he did absolutely nothing in that fight and ruined the biggest Heavyweight fight in years. Haye fans should be ashamed atsch
brilliant cruiser, but not big enough to do anything at heavyweight. all he cared about was bigging up that fight for his own gain. i dont think he thought he could win it himself. he convinced everyone he had a chance then went out like a *****!
if you weren't impressed with the parrying he did and his head movement, then you probably don't box.
But luckily Amir beat Maidana enough in the first rounds to snatch the victory before he ran... something Haye must have overlooked Still I like Kahn's victory because he wasn't afraid to trade with the biggest puncher of his division, something Haye must have overlooked too
haye fustrated me during that klitschko fight... he had the tools to beat wlad but he just didn't want to take risks... so disappointing.
Haye did fight a cowardly fight but what disgusts me is the fact that no one throws any blame on Wlad when he was just as complicit in that shitfest. Haye didn't run, at least not anything near like he did against Valuev. In fact, for large portions of the fight he stood still in front of Wlad and in range with his hands down and simply made Wlad and his vaunted "ATG jab" look silly as he continuously threw 1-2s that for the most part whiffed. Haye fought like a ***** by refusing to commit to any offense outside of the occasional overhand potshot and repeatedly falling and Wlad was a cowardly disgrace and/or just exposed as the overrated fighter he is by standing back and inaccurately jabbing towards a stationary target and in turn making him look like Willie ****ing Pep. They're both disgraces to boxing.
I think that was actually the best he could do, he tried to fight like that saw the fight slipping away and then choose tonot get ko'd but look to survive, only to give it a final shot in the last round. Haye couldnt handle wladimirs style and size.
wlad owes haye nothing. if your gonna talk bull**** for years on end its up to you to make things happen, wlad did not take a step back the whole fight, it was haye who would not commit. haye is all about money and i for one was taken in by his bull**** that he had a chance!
If you are running while winning then that is good defense. But if you are running like a biatch like Mcclockey or whatever the **** his name is or Haye or Cory Stinks and not get hit but just running and not getting hit but not winning the rounds then that is the definitiong of "RUNNING"
They both owed the fans that paid for that crapfest a ****ing fight and they didn't pay up. And no, Wlad didn't take a step back. He also didn't take many steps forward.
