All respect to David Haye

[Allucard]

For making boxing history. Damn lucky Brits, on a sidenote you don't deserve fair scoring after what happened to Dirrell in Britain soil.
I thought Dirrell beat Froch better than Haye beat Valuev and he still lost. This comes to show how dirty boxing is becoming.
Taking nothing away from Haye of course. He's got a great attitude and everyone must have thought "the guy's crazy" when you saw him in the ring with the Giant...

[Hyde]

Haye beat Valuev clearly just like Dirrell beat Froch. But offcourse now you and all other biased americans will say Valuev won simply because Haye is british... double standards.

[Pullcounter]

yup... dirrell did the same thing that haye did, but dirrell got robbed... what's up with that?

[oldhammad]

Credit to judges for scoring it fairly, and I thought that Haye won comfortably if not spectacularly.

As for Froch-Dirrell, maybe the scoring was not fair, but I think Dirrell needed a loss to wake him up and make him realise he'll have to work hard to get far, especially if he's fighting in unknown territory.

Casual boxing fans, like some of my friends, who only know about major fighters, were convinced Valuev would walk it, they were swayed by the countdown on Sky Sports I think, when it said Haye had no stamina etc. But he proved them wrong, boxed cleverley, and more credit must go to him for boxing most of the fight with a broken hand, and for being the first man to hurt Valuev with a shot that wasn't flush with the inside of the glove.

Good stuff

Haye win clearly and in my opinion the bum of froch win over Dirrell....

[Home town hero]

the thing that direll did that seriously worked against him was complain complain complain then clinch complain clinch spoil fall on the floor complain some more then clinch a few more times. This made him look like he was loseing the fight because he was looking afraid. Haye stuck and moved didnt clinch too often or complain.

yep, even though it was for only two rounds, lets just give the fight to other guy...

[UND]

The thing i find funny is people calling it double standard! Froch fight was in uk and when to home guy. But hayes fight was in germany with valuev being home fighter. (based there).

haye didnt clinch because valuev would have leaned on him and wore him out. not because he didnt want to or because he is courageous. haye wouldnt have been a huge idiot for clinching because that is what valuev wanted to do.
