Wlad is surprisingly fast for a + 243 lbs guy...

[gandhalf]

Before the fight , i was giving the edge to Klitschko however , i thought he would still struggle like hell to deal with Haye's speed... But he didn't. He dodged many of Haye's attacks...But then i remembered his fight against Chambers. (who's pretty fast too) and he had no real problems with his opponent's speed there too.

OMG, Wlad's been a pro for 15 years, by now people might have finally settled with that fact that Wlad is very fast for his size, but it still comes as surprise to some.

Haye attacks? what attacks did you see?

Haye is not a attack boxer, he likes to counter on the backfoot, all i saw was Haye ducking and moving back using his reflexes to make Wlad miss 90% of his punches other than his jab here and there..

If Wlad had speed he would have cut Haye off and beat him to a pulp

Nah Wlad is white remember, he is a euro robot created in a lab to dominate people with his Robot physiche.

if he was black and born to a crackhead in the bronx he would be the ATG Slickest boxer we have ever seen who would dominate so badly no opponent could get close to winning against him because of his dominant Black Slick Style of boxing where he owns everyone and makes him look silly.

Only Black Americans are slick buddy! Never forget it!

I wonder how NSB will look if Wlad/Vitali were black brothers born to a crackhead hoodrat who gave birth to them at 14. I bet all these Horus posters would be singing a completely different tune.

Well , he tried to land many bombs but he was hitting air most of the time. And like you said , he was also moving back (a lot) Klitschko was the one who was stalking him. And no , he didn't miss 90% of his punches.

Uh.....No. Considering that we're talking about a 243 lbs and 6′6½ tall guy , regardeless of race , he's surprisingly fast.

Klit didnt let go of any punches, he punch arsenal consisted of a jab, which was effective, but not damaging enough to give a guy a pizza face, which he so promised us

Wlad became very cagey, he didnt want to risk gettin countered, thus he never let go of any big punches, he tried in round 3 and Haye landed a huge punch on him which shook him up, after that it was all about a points win

All credit to Wlad for winning via jab, but he promised so much and delivered so little. A man who talked so much **** pre fight deserved to be beaten to a pulp and knocked out.

Vitali would never have let Haye get away without taking some big shots, but thats because he doesn't have a weak chin like his brother

Wlad is probably the most athletically gifted HW ever

[sunny31]

Wladimir has great eyes, fast reflexes and feet. His handspeed is not overwhelming, like a few people have mentioned Haye saw pretty much all his power shots coming. It was Wladimir's footspeed and ability to see attacks coming which won him this fight...and most importantly the jab.

I was about to write something similar. I really don't get why it comes as a shock to so many. He has always been a fast and mobile guy for his size.
