Adamek deseves respect.

[welcometosaigon]

That's why I give Adamek more respect because of his Heart and the way he handles himself. He was obviously outmatched but he tried to come forward. With Haye, he was running the whole night after all that talking he did before the fight. If he kept his mouth shut, then he might get more respect from the fans.

LOL no he didn't. I don't get what people are talking about with Adamek. He didn't take any "risks", he just got his ass beat. That's not heart. Watch Gatti and Corrales fights, those fighters show heart.

What someone says before the fight should in no way impact your view of what happened in the fight. SO HAye talked ****. Adamek acting like a human punching bag is not respect worthy where I'm from.

As I watched Adamek plod, I kept thinking about what a Mike Tyson would be trying to do, or a Rocky Marciano, somebody with the speed, skills & balls to get inside and unleash fast punches to the head and/or body. Still, Vitali seems unbeatable right now, I give him credit, he is VERY good and may end up on my Top 10 Heavyweights list someday when it's all said and done.

Haye's a coward because he didnt stand and let Wlad punch him in the face....

Haye's a coward because he took zero chances, spent half the fight on the ground and kept relying on a lucky, sloppy right haymaker to finish the job...

...BUT even with all of that, he still did much better than Adamek did.

Im not even defending Haye's performance. But the double standard is amazing to me..

Excellent post.

I don't know what fight you guys were watching but Adamek landed a couple of shots, especially when he jabbed and threw a right.

Also, Adamek landed and threw more punches in 10 rounds: 89/301 for 30% connected. http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/vi...damek-compubox

While Haye was 72/290 with 25% connected against Wlad in 12 rounds.

Punch stats are useless at Heavyweight. I stopped caring about them when looking at the numbers for Foreman-Moorer.

What you should concern yourself with is damage dealt/ damage received. Wlad Haye was a pretty even fight damage wise, Haye actually landed the hardest shot of the night in the 12th.

Adamek Vitali was not even close. One guy was dying and the other didnt receive a scratch.

I think its clear what the double standard is but lets not go there.

Let's be real here.

Anybody with sense, never really gave either men a great chance to win pre-fight.

The difference is, one knew he had a punchers chance so (******ly) was trying to land one big punch. While the other had no gameplan, and just stood there getting his face punched in.

[Uturn]

Wait a minute. Black guy who throws very few punches and complains about broken toe deserves no respect but the white guy who takes and ass whippin and throws no punches deserves respect?

Some of you guys neeed real help.

David Haye deserves respect for what? His mouth? Promising millions of people 'This will be the most brutal execution of a fighter you've ever seen' You have respect for David better known as 'Pinky Toe' Haye?

You respect David Haye? GTFO. Respecting a clown such as David Haye after all that nonsense he sprouted prior to the fight. Makes me sick that people still buy into his crap.

You know what the difference will be if Vitali fights Haye? Haye will quit on his stool or take a knee, and say 'no mas'. Adamek has more courage and heart than Haye will ever have. At least Adamek applauded Vitali and admitted he was just to good unlike Haye.

I suggest you go to youtube and type 'David Haye interviews'. That might refresh your memory and remind you of the con man he is.
