Regardless of a prohibitive size disadvantage, Haye landed 72 punches on Klitschko while the much larger and rangier Fury landed only 14 more shots with 86 connected in total!
That averages out to only 1.16 punches less per round!
With Haye throwing 290, while Fury threw 371, Haye's connect percentage sits at 25% while Fury's is lower at 23%.
Bearing in mind that Haye was much lighter and easier for Klitschko to clinch repeatedly without much resistance due to his overwhelming size/weight disadvantage, he did well to almost match Fury's connected punches if you think about it, and to have an overall higher connect percentage.
Looks like it's time to re-evaluate the Haye performance afterall? Against all odds, he almost landed the same amount of punches on Klitschko as the new HW champ Fury did!
Based on these revealing statistics, I think it's safe to say that Haye vs Fury needs to happen.
