haye v valuev

Wathed this on Sky Box Office and thought the commentators were terribly over-cautious about the judges when Haye was clearly ahead by a few rounds.

As widely predicted tbh - good little spectacle though.

Think the commentators were probably right actually, though I did have him ahead and they didnt, a challenger has to stand out to take a title and Germany is so corrupt and incompetent (although in fairness, they got it dead right but the earlier fight that joke ref did give Ruizs opponent a standing 8 when he should have stopped it) I think Haye should have won the rounds more convincingly to guarantee victory. Probably the presence of Don King meant that the two corrupt influences worked as a double negative and actually made the fight pretty fair.

For me Haye done enough to be ahead but I didn't think he had done enough to get a points decision in a world title fight in Germany. I was actually really surprised when he got the decision. Delighted for him though. Agree that he will probably be out his depth against either Klitschko.

I would have had Haye to beat Wladamir last year but when Wladamir beat Chageyev (who also beat Valuev) he looked absolutely brilliant. I agree that Haye will struggle to beat him after seeing that.

He has no chance against Vitaili.
