You knew that former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (25-2, 23 Ko’s) would cook up some kind of excuse if he were to lose Saturday’s fight with IBF/WBO heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko (56-3, 49 Ko’s), you just never knew it was going to be that Haye had a broken toe, at least that’s what he said after getting totally dominated by Wladimir in a 12 round unanimous decision loss for Haye. The scores were 118-108, 117-109 and 116-110. But they only tell part of the story. The real story here is that Haye fought like a guy that was afraid to get hit and wasn’t willing to take the risks needed to try and get through Wladimir’s powerful jab to try and win it. We knew that Haye only a puncher’s chance to win the fight, but with all the trash talking that Haye had done before the fight we expected him to come out slugging instead of running and avoiding action. Haye only landed 74 punches in the fight compared to Wladimir’s 134. Most of Haye’s shots were one at a time desperate hayemaker shots that often missed by a mile. When Haye did land his right hands, they had no effect on Wladimir whatsoever. Haye was knocked down in the 11th round. It really wasn’t a knockdown but rather Haye falling down and the referrer ruling it a knockout, perhaps because he was tiring of Haye falling down on his own. It looked like Haye was just trying to buy time and waste the round during these occasions. read more:http://www.boxingnews24.com/2011/07...to-wladimir-blaming-it-on-his-toe/#more-71935
