1) I think Haye was concerned before the fight that Wlad would put all of his weight on him in the clinch to sap his energy. They made a point of this to the ref. Haye kept falling in part because everytime Wlad lent on him he wanted to let the referee know what was happening. At times though he seemed to pre-empt the lean and fell before Wlad actually clinched.

2) Haye claims his toe was broken, which effected his balance and his ability to punch. Wlad has always been that way. The Klitschko brothers are avid chess players and this spills over in to their approach to boxing. They take their time and don't make any rash moves. Most of Wlad's world title fights have ended in the latter half of the fight. He breaks his opponent down over the fight and when his opponent has little left, he'll move in for the kill.

Haye still had a punchers chance right up until the bell as far as Wlad seems concerned, so he took no chances. As I said, I think if Wlad wanted to he could've KO'd Haye last night. It's not the way he fights though.

Yeah about that toe.. I sort of don't believe Haye's stories anymore... He is obviously a good boxer but as a personality I am very glad he lost - I know the mud slinging with Klichko was mostly a publicity stunt but Haye has demonstrated time and time again that he isn't a very ''likeable'' person.

Just my opinion of course.

In this day and age Wlad is a better boxer - not a very entertaining one but he is the man when it comes to the results...

If haye had this toe problem, how come he was dancing around? maybe he should have asked Dr K to have a look at it.

This has to be the most random post ever. What does Obama have to do with this boxing match? And you might want to reconsider how dumb you think Cord is when you mis-spelled know and ugly.

Surely Mecca's direction depends where you are in the world. I mean, if you're in north Europe, it's south.

trevek- No, polak, from the where David Lloyd is in the U.K., Mecca is EAST. East by southeast to be exact, but still east.

MattJ- How's that hope & change workin' out for ya? Get stomped by a black flashmob yet? Pipsqueak.

Cord- Where are you?! I thought you guaranteed that David Haye would beat either Klitschko? I thought you said he would knock out Wladimir in 5 rounds? I thought you said he was the most explosive fighter since Tyson? $hit, David Haye pu$$ied out of fights with both Klitschko's on 3 different occasions, ran his big fat mouth about what he would do to them, and then when the time came, he ran like a girl and flopped like a fish all night... Not that Klitschko fought a great fight (he's 35 and looked every bit of it) but I still wish he had knocked that phony little bum out, if only to imagine the look on your goofy, bald-headed face, David Lloyd. Ah well... HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !!!!!

Dzieki za informacji ale nie jestem polakiem.

Ah, didn't realise you were being location specific. Who's david Lloyd?

Sorry, although I'm half-Polish (my mother) I can't speak the language. I'm an ignorant, boorish, racist, American and can only speak bastardized English:)

David Lloyd is Cord. The know-it-all who was soooo sure that Haye would land that goofy, amateurish, looping right and Klitschko would just fall over. The guy who, in spite of having not one professional fight himself, had the nerve to call the Klitschko's "paper champions".

Ah, basically I said "thanks for the info but I'm not Polish" (although it was probably full of mistakes).
