I thought about this too but the reason why i wouldn't give Hari another chance is because he's not the first who gave this "gameplan" a try...Aerts , JLB , Sefo tried it too... Schilt wasn't expecting this from Hari and was taken by surprise... There won't be a second chance for him to pull the same ****... Btw , this reminds of something....I wonder If wlad klitschko will fall into the same trap ? Let's Haye decides to rush like a maniac and tries to land bombs during the first few seconds of the 1rst round....The element of surprise is Haye's best chance imo.... But i guess they're probably extremely prepared for this and the klitschko team will be ready for this scenario too...
The difference is that Sefo is too short, Le banner also, Aerts hasn't got enough power and speed - but Hari combines speed, with boxing skills with reach with power and accuracy. That's why he's the one who can excecute this gameplan perfectly. Reach is an absolute condition if you want to beat Schilt, once you have that it becomes relatively easy to fight him. Hari is 198 cm. Ignashov who knocked him out in 1 round has about the same features.
I agree that Hari caught him by surprise somewhat. However, I just think that Schilt won't be able to stop him should they fight again. Hari has all the tools and knows how to use them. Aerts did a similar thing last year in the WGP except he didn't knock Schilt out. IIRC he got on the inside, unloaded then moved back out of range, reset and did it again. So inside fighting is perhaps another tool needed. I also agree that this is perhaps Haye's only chance of beating Wlad. He needs to go out, get on the inside and unload early, otherwise Wlad is just going to try and jab him for 12 rounds. Still I'm picking Haye. Gotta give in to hometown fighter bias.:yep
I think Wlad can do a lot more then just jab Haye. I think he will kock him out with a big right hand from the jab. Haye has very bad defence. He should keep his hand up.
AERTS: the fact that aerts is still competing at the top tiers while hoost was made bob sapps (bob sapp lol) ***** before quitting the sport speaks volumes,you only need to watch the two fighting each other to see whos the better fighter aerts on his day owned the **** out of "mr perfect" he floored him on numerous occassions,aerts was the more durable stronger fighter while hoost was technically a little better,imagine aerts without the career injuries hes been plagued with!!! the top 5 greatest kicboxers ever: 1.kaman 2.dekkers 3.theriault 4.smit (would probably have been the best fighter ever,sadly died young) 5.wilson see the result of both fighting each other in their primes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BDtkh6uc_Y This content is protected http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jz53OEK82Go
Well I disagree slightly. Hoost was called Mr Perfect for a reason. He had it all, a good defense, great kicks, good punches, the technique, the tactics, the attitude, he never lost focus during his career, .... his record winning % is also better then the record of Aerts. Aerts might have been more dominant in his prime, he did have more flaws such as his boxing defense and that's why he lost to guys like Bernardo (no shame), Abidi and Leko. Let's not forget Hoost was still fighting at the age of 41. The reason why he could last that long was because he was so complete. This content is protected
