Haye Outpoints Valuev in Tedious Fashion, Snatches Title

[GreatRubdini]

David Gaye aint undefeated

[Freddy Krueger]

Yeah.. Valuev was Mr Excitement.

David Haye put on his running shoes, its okay when David Haye fights like a boring **** and barely throws any punches. But when Vitali throws over 800 punches against Arreola, he is some how boring to you ppl.

Vitali has a higher work-rate then David Haye and would kill him in the ring by accident, David Haye would not be able to run from Vitali because Vitali would break him.

did what he had to do.

hmm Cliff Rold thats not very accurate is it :

causing a pause in the giant before Valuev shook his head and then began his march forward again.

i think you need to watch it again but this time take the biased shades off!

Valuev got ROCKED, STUMBLED , DONE THE CHICKEN DANCE and would of been knocked down if the ref didnt jump in!

Arent you boxing writers meant to be impartial?

The ref didn't jump in. Haye continued to hit Valuev until they clinched. Then Haye returned to the track he was running on before the punch on the side of Valuev's neck.

The Valuev clinch at the end was so funny looking he had to reach like a foot down to hold on.
The ref might have saved Valuev actually. Whatever the case may be I don't think Haye did enough to win the title.

Correction. Did what he wanted to do. He could have actually fought.

and the winner is cotto

I hope this fight will finally put to rest the myth that it's impossible to get a decision in Germany, even when the judges are all from neutral countries. Two of the judges had it 116-112 to Haye, whereas most analysts had it much closer than that (Cliff scored it a draw), and a few even had Valuev in the lead. I had Haye winning, but very narrowly.

As long as the judges are from neutral countries, anyone who deserves to win can win in Germany, and this fight proves it.

Correction. Did what he wanted to do. He could have actually fought.

He had an injured right hand for most of the fight. Even so, he came closer than anyone ever has before to putting Valuev down.

When Floyd hits and runs its boxing.
How many people would stand and trade with a big ****er like Valuez lol.

Haye's workrate was far lower than Floyd's. But he had a badly injured right hand for most of the fight, so in the circumstances I think he should get a pass for that. I didn't find it at all boring, although I agree he was very negative a lot of the time; but despite his negativity, almost every clean power punch that landed throughout the fight was landed by Haye. And as I say, his injured right hand gives him an excuse to have been negative.
