As we chronicled on the site earlier, yesterday’s Klitschko vs Haye fight was a huge flop. It was the perfect example of what is wrong with the Heavyweight division. Although there was one thing the fight was not lacking, hype.
The build up to the fight was something Vince McMahon would be proud of. Haye made Hulk Hogan proud with his combination of mic work and limited in ring ability. You could say Haye spun straw into gold. Only problem is that boxing isn’t predetermined.
Not to be outdone, Klitschko got into the pro wrestling spirit with an overproduced Rocky style intro (if Rocky was told from Ivan Drago’s point of view). The whole clip includes George Foreman, fake paparazzi and David Haye wrapped in an aluminum foil blanket.

Also if you watch closely, at the 2:55 mark you see Haye grimace and look down at his foot. It looks like he is saying something about his toe, which he used as an excuse after the fight.
