Klitschko vs Haye 2

[Leohappy]

i would actually give haye some more chances in a wlad rematch, but it's also kinda fair he faced the stronger bro now, that he presumably knows what he needs to do. vitali hasn't been seriously challenged in a while.

anyone saying the fight was not interesting is a moron

that was the best HW in a long longgggg time

yes there were not many punches thrown, but i was hooked on the screen, 12 rounds, it was like watching a chess match (not literally), two men trying to land big blows. Everyone thought it would not go 12 rounds, we all thought it would end on a TKO, so throughout we were all waiting for that one big punch from either man. In round 12 Haye landed a huge punch, Wlad held on, Haye was out of breath, Wlad started to fight back, it became all out, but both men were tired by then.

The match was fought as a very fast pace, you could see both men thinking, trying to outwit each other,

Great points. Both of them have lightning reflexes and had to concentrate 3 minutes of every round or it couldve been curtains. the mental energy expended I think really told on the physical. 15 rounds too wouldve been nice

imo it should be 12+3 rounds. the 3 extra rounds would happen, unless there was a health concern for one of the boxers.

I want to see the rematch.

the funny thing is the british public are still praising the man, the media however are not, but it's the people that matter, they are the ones who pay to watch.....

I couldn't take my eyes off the fight in case somebody landed a bomb and had a sore neck at the end from staring up at the big screen in the sports bar I was in for 12 rounds. But I would have liked 15 rounds. This fight was another case for 15 rounders.

can't agree more

My view on the fight...

- Fight wasn't as boring as most people are making out

- Fight was more fast paced then most of the Heavyweight fights in recent times. Name me another recent Heavyweight fight where you seen speed, agility and both the fighters in excellent shape?

- Klitschko got Haye on the back foot from the start and from then on Haye was unable to establish the front foot in the fight.

- Haye should have charged at Klitschko from the get go to unsettle him to stand any chance of beating him.

- And Haye didn'd do to badly compared to the other fighters Klitschko has fought recently. It's just because of his trash talk in the build up that people are giving him a lot of stick.


I don't see any problem with Haye vs Klitschko 2. I mean who else is going to give Wladimir a better fight? Maybe this time Haye will have learnt and go all out?

I still don't see Klitschko making as much money vs any other Heavyweight.

Thoughts?

Haye didn't do better than the "fat bums" he kept insulting, no. He owes all the previous Klitschko victims an apology.

Who would give Wlad a better fight? Robert Helenius, Denis Boytsov, Alexander Dimitrenko, Albert Sosnowski, Cris Arreola, Sasha Povetkin, Tomas Adamek, Tony Thompson, maybe even Dereck Chisora or Tyson Fury. Wouldn't be hard to top Haye.

NO REMATCH -- THIS IS JUST HAYE TRYING TO CON HIS WAY INTO ANOTHER BIG AND UNDESERVED PAYDAY.

It was interesting mostly because of the hype, which is blown now and won't be there in a rematch.

Vitali versus Briggs had more suspense if only because you wondered if Vitali was going to literally KILL Briggs in the ring.

Tony Thompson got knocked out, but fought a FAR BETTER and more aggressive fight against Wlad, and won some early rounds. Does Tony deserve a rematch???

[ChopperRead]

Haye chose the wrong tactics, he was trying to get Wlad to open up so he could try and catch him with a counter. Wlad didn't bite and happily stayed behind the jab to protect his chin. Haye would definitely try something different if he got the chance of a rematch.

Haye needs a real trainer. Booth had him so worked up (for nothing) over the ref that every time Wlad punched him, Haye looked at the ref as if Wlad had broken the rules.

Insane.

Booth is in over his head at the elite HW level, he really is.

Haye needs to do the hard work at HW, and beat some real contenders. If he doesn't do that, he has no chance and doesn't merit a rematch.
