Adam Booth deserves a lot of respect.

Booth gained my respect last night. His tactical awareness was bang on, avoiding a toe-to-toe battle with Degale was key. Groves boxed superbly as well, the vast majority had Degale to win prior to the fight almost writing Groves off completely. I agree, the tactics he'll implement for Haye will be intetesting, and I could see something similar to the Groves plan. Booth is (no doubt) a good tactican and obviously knows his stuff. The plan for Valuev was on the money as well, despite Haye fighitng a negative fight, but then again Valuev is a huge guy.

I think Dave Coldwell has a lot to do with it to be honest!

Enough respect to him for making the fight when everyone thought groves would get outclassed. He also remained very calm in the build up unlike his counterpart. I don't think the Haye-Valuev fight was a massive upset though. Although you've got to hand it to him for coming up with the gameplan and drilling it into his fighters to stick to the gameplan.

yup booth is the man as somebody said smart and unpredictable a nice combination against the completely predictable Steward Wlad combo But re the Haye Valuev thing ... I didn't see that as an upset at all, in fact was so confident Haye would win that I had 50 quid riding on it, if anything I was surprised that haye didn't do better against him.

Adam Booth is smart and unpredictable. Thats whats needed to beat Steward/Klitschko.

Respect to him for getting the plan down, but it certainly helps when your fighter has the talent and determination to carry that plan through.

He may look like a smug prick, but he's the one that's come up with the game plans for Haye to beat Valuev and now Groves to beat a much better boxer in Degale. Both were massive upsets that wouldn't have happened without him. Very interested to see what kind of game plan he's come up with for Wladimir. Was Haye vs Valuev an upset? i thought Haye would have done better than he did.

I don't think haye has that kind of stamina

respect to adam

I've said it all along, this man knows his shit.
