I take it you were equipped with x-ray spec's for the duration of the fight then?

To be fair to him, I think he realised that he was pish-poor tonight & was easily beaten by a much more accomplished Heavyweight.

Dont agree at all think he is a very good fighter, 10 times better technically than Klitschko and stronger but his head wasnt in a fight, couldnt think on his feet what to do next, he was soooooooooooooooooooooo cautious he deserved nothing from the fight, he fought like he didnt want to get touched, he needed to get hurt if he did he would have won, basically fight like Hatton, Klitschko is no Mayweather, Klitschko has fast foot work for a big man and an awkward lean back but this cant have news to Hayes.

Never seen diving in boxing before. Plus that was the worst excuse i have ever heard, if Klitchko had said that we would never hear the end of it from Haye.
Ah, I remember where I've seen Haye's punching style before.

Haye, what a "Dick head" to use his own insult against him. He bigged up this fight so much, and was an absolute bum on the day. He has fought bums for his whole heavyweight career, and now he has been found out.

My first fight and it wasn't very good, kept shouting at Haye to hit him lol.
Glad I didn't pay £15 either.

What an utter shambles from Haye! Within 2 rounds he looked he didn't have a Plan B to deal with the reach advantage on that jab. Way too cautious and resorting to ugly lunging right hands that looked more like Malinga bowling. The frustration was so evident by how early and often he was looking at the ref.
And to cap it all some bollox about his toe that made him sound an awful bad loser. And I might add that Vladimir came across as classy and articulate. He may not be the most dynamic fighter but he gave Haye a tactical boxing lesson .

I doubt I'll read a better assessment all weekend.

Some clueless comments on this thread.
Basically it happened as a few of us predicted on the other thread - the bigger man used his weight and reach advantage very effectively. Klitschko is a very good boxer, although he is limited. He's too good to lose to a man who is 2st lighter than him, but not good enough to knock him out. Haye is by far the best cruiserweight on the planet. He's probably the 3rd best heavyweight in a very shit division. It is what it is, and nothing more or less.

You should read then next post after yours.
Both METALMICKY and Billy the fish make some very good points - the whole backlash against Haye doesn't really hold true - the only people that are outraged by Haye's performance are people that don't really understand boxing.
I would have liked to see Haye implement a more effective gameplan but the conclusion was ultimately very predictable - it was pretty obvious that Klitschko would use his height weight and reach to frustrate and limit Haye

I thought that he only won 3 rounds including the one pont deductioin so I think your scoring is nearer than some of the judges. People say Haye didnt throw enough big shots but he didnt throw enough punches stop andf was reliant on landing a big one. Cant see where he can go now as he was going to retire next yeart after beating both Klitchcos. He has 2 choices as I see it, retire now or try to take Vitali title then try for a unification again, anything else is a waste unless he goes back down to his natural and fights as a cruiserweight., but there isnt the money there.
So, to summarise, Haye is full of shit. Is this a correct assessment? Seems like it is to me.
