Comments Thread For: Valuev: Klitschko vs. Haye Was a Much Closer Fight

I agree.

I don't know what fight you guys watched, but Haye landed the harder shots, had vlad hurt and almost finished him.

Vlad landed one solid right hand the whole fight; Haye landed several.

Haye lost via a jabbing contest; totally not what people make it out to be.

Valuev is probably shocked that Wlad couldn't KO the cruiserweight leftovers of Carl Thompson.

I had it 117-111, didn't count the bs ruling on the knockdown. Also including wlads point deduction, which I felt he deserved. 9-2-1 on rounds. Wlad's jabs won him the rounds, I do believe people have been overly harsh on Hayes performance, and I think it's mainly people who don't understand him as a fighter. These are the same people who accuse him of not trying to win, which is just ridiculous, he was trying to take wlads head off the whole fight, and was still throwing bombs in the 12th round.

I'm confused: 9-2-1 is a horribly lopsided fight. Why shouldn't Haye be panned for that type of performance? Also, your statement that Haye "trying to take wlad's head of" the entire fight is puzzling. Haye might have had bad intentions when he threw, most boxers do. However, his lack of output is a reflection of a fighter just phoning it in. You aren't "trying to win" when you land 1 punch in round 10 (like Haye did). You aren't "trying to win" when you only land 10 punches in 1 round. Compare Haye's performance with Joshua Clottey's against Pacquiao. Clottey landed more than 10 punches in 7 of those rounds and he was facing a much more determined and active opponent. Nevertheless, Clottey was viewed as having not even attempted to win (an opnion I agree with). Compared to Haye, Clottey was a whirlwind of activity.

Valuev is trying desperately to become relevant again, after pricing himself out of a fight with Vitali. At 38 and without a halfway decent win in 3 years, I'm afraid that ship has sailed.

poor brits still butt sore... get over it your spokes model lost due to him being an over hyped chump.. funny thing is that in the rd where they penalized Klit, still made it an even rd. 9-9, but when Haye was trying to be an actor flopping like a fish, his hillarious KD was a 10-8 rd. the proofs in the pudding.. we all read how the brits tried to botch Hayes punch output, too make it look like he was busier and better than he really was.... psssh

[The Hammer]

The sasquatch is upset that Wladimir was able to clearly defeat Haye by a wide margin, while he could not.

Jealousy is a b1tch.

only a moron can think this is true

Valuev must have brain damage, Haye lost every sigle round of the fight. Any one who thinks the way valuev does is also a moron or ******ed. Haye should become a stand up comediant instead of boxing. I see agreat future for him .....hahahahaha nitramzaid@hotmail.com

Haye IS a "stand-up comedian" except that he looks better lying down, and perhaps in his next fight he'll oblige. Will look more natural that way. He's so good at what he does that he has a GREAT future................behind him.

But try to tell the poor saps who spent and lost hundreds of millions because of Haye......
