Ross Purrity was age 30 at the time and was thick and strong, weighing 25 pounds more than then youthful and slender Wlad. Wlad was age 22.
He gassed in the 11th round after not pacing himself for the first 10, trying to impress his hometown Kiev fans by KOing the durable Purrity, who had gone the distance with several top heavyweights.
Carl Thompson was age 41 when he fought Haye. He was a former light heavyweight, naturally smaller than Haye. Haye was age 24.
Haye gassed in the 5th round and was KOed by old Carl. Carl had been KOed several time in his prime at light heavyweight by journeymen like Yawe Davis and Crawford Ashley, but Haye couldn't defeat him.
