This Bigger Haye Is A Real Heavyweight Threat Now

if that is true lots of respect to de mori :good

 

he will be okay ib. I think de mori is tougher then people give him credit for. Punch resistance wise i mean.
No matter who it is when haye connects flush you gonna go:deal

 

Just watched yesterday's fight again and then YouTubed Haye v Monte Barrett for a comparison. Haye is now noticeably slower in hand and footwork and this raises concerns for me. Haye's defence was always based around mobility - hands low so he could see the punches coming - and fast feet to evade, combined with good head movement. A slower Haye is not going to be as effective defensively unless he changes to blocking punches more. That's a big change to make at this stage of his career.

 

How does one have less problems with derek than haye had ? I fully believe his toe took that wlad fight more than wlad did

 

Every fighter that gets ko'd has to go to the hospital, it's part of combat sports.. new guys ?

 

Yesterday's? :huh

It was four hours ago..

 

Hahaha... I thought that as I typed it. But technically speaking it is yesterday for me.

 

I agree with almost everything said here. He looked vicious, he looked too big and noticeably slower. Would like to see him closer to 220lbs. By the way, Haye didn't put on weight to increase power, I read he did it to avoid injuries when dealing with heavier opponents.

 

He seems too heavy - was a little too flat footed IMO - but he will probably drop a bit by next fight
