By Jake Donovan - The action never came close to justifying the hype that began nearly three years ago, but in the end Wladimir Klitschko scored his 14th straight victory with a wide unanimous decision over David Haye on Saturday evening at the Imtech Arena in Hamburg, Germany.
Scores were 118-108, 117-109 and 116-110 for Klitschko in perhaps the most anticipated heavyweight fight in more than a decade.
An extended delay only heightened the anticipation amongst an already raucous atmosphere at the jam packed arena. Much of it was due to Haye not being ready on time, resulting in the full version of “Ain’t No Stopping Us Now” being played before the Brit finally made his way out of the dressing room and on his way to the ring.
He would immediately learn that payback is a b(ear) to contend with, as Klitschko opted to leave him in the ring cold for another ten or so minutes before making his grand entrance to the tune of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Can’t Stop.”
Judging by the crowd’s reaction, few seemed to sympathize with Klitschko or take much issue with Haye. The cheers were loud and boisterous for Haye’s entrance, while a chorus of boos echoed throughout the arena the very moment that the defending lineal champion was spotted making his way to the ring.
