All respect to David Haye

[Pullcounter]

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.

i didn't know complaining lost you points in a boxing round. where in the rule book does it say that?

dirrell got robbed.

[Home town hero]

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

dirrel won that fight dont get me wrong im just saying he didnt help himslef.

you dont silly. But it all adds up to the judges impression of the fight.

All respect to Haye but what about the poor big guy sitting with no belt.Valuev should have got the decision so should Dirrell.Hype and showbiz/boating must have won him the fight.The best man lost,sorry.

[Special K]

In light of Dirrell vs Froch, Valuev was 100% robbed.


The same Brits that said: you have to TAKE a champs belt (i.e Froch's), are now saying the opposite. Haye's big mouth was all hype when it came to the fight. Only Valuev wanted to seriously trade, and Haye was running away constantly.

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...

for what its worth there was not one single British official scoring the Dirrell fight, same as with Haye.

what did people really expect Haye to do? Go in there and trade?

You bet. That was the trash talk he'd served up. Instead, he played scared for eleven rounds.

[The_Demon]

its funny i have always compared froch too valuev an dirrell a less dangerous version of haye
dirrell and haye both fought the perfect fight against their respective opponents (haye with one hand) difference is one got robbed and one didnt

I had Haye by one point he didn't do enough in the middle rounds at times imo. His defence was very good as was his movement.
